Hey Squadron Report #2 for the week ended October 1, 2001.

Hidey ho folks! Time for this week's Hey Squadron report. This past week was pretty busy, new commander, new flight leaders, lots of activity. Let's get to it!

SQUADRON NEWS
---------------

With my promotion to commander of this squadron, Two Flight was left without a flight leader. This problem has been rectified. Congratulations to LCM Tvan'Oris! I recieved many applications for this position, but I felt Tvan'Oris will be the best person for the job. He is extremely active, flying many missions per week, regularly in contact with me and others in the squadron. He'll set a good example for his Flight and the rest of the squadron.

With the resignation of LCM Treb Helfest two weeks ago, the lead spot in Three Flight was also open. I only recieved one application for that position, so the choice was pretty easy. Congrats to LT Dirk Fireslinger! Dirk also is very active, flying and communication both. He will be a good lead for Three Flight.

SL Maw'la completed an EH battle and was promoted to LT! Congrats! Keep up the good work!

Drinks are on you guys! :)

SL Max Strykeman, make contact with me ASAP.

WING NEWS
------------

We have a Sov-wide comp until tomorrow. You can fly XWA-Free #29, TIE-Free #160, or XvT-Free #60. Get your pilot files to me tonight.

For other news, wait for Jahan's Wing report.

As some of you may or may not know, the latest Imperial Storm Exercise has ended (about a month ago).

As a Task Force Admiral of this years exercise, I would like to extend my thanks to Pri for making it possible, and although it ended a bit prematurely we here at Task Force DOOM had a lot of fun. I know I speak for the entire Battlegroups when I say that we're looking forward to the next IS to start, and with the recent assignment of VA Pel as our new War Officer I'm sure it won't be long.

As posted in the latest Flag Office report :

The final Imperial Storm II results are out:
TF Doom - 1780 Victory Points

TCC:XvT position opened
13:40 - FA Striker [striker@tiecorps.org]
With the resignation of Major Locke, the position of Tactical Coordinator (XvT) is opened for application. The requirements are as follows:

must have knowledge in XvT/BoP mission designing
must have passed the IWATS XvT mission creation course (XvT)
must be able to manage a team of Tacticians and playtesters
must be able to answer emails within 24/48h
no HCI conviction
The job description for this auxiliary position is available in the Tactical Manual. Please include in your applications references to possible created XvT/BoP battles or free missions, or to some work done in the past for the Tactical Office. Any experience in team managing is also to be reported. Applications are to be sent to Fleet Admiral Striker and Lieutenant Colonel Marcin Szydlowski.

Playing custom EH battles
03:44 - FA Striker [striker@tiecorps.org]
When you fly a free mission or battle, always make sure you have the up-to-date version, by checking the Battle Center. i don't make announcements of battle updates, which doesn't mean some are not updated... actually there are some quite every day or so, so make sure to fly the latest version. They are generally better (bug corrected or other things), so you will enjoy them better as well... I know some of you download a bunch of battles and fly them weeks after, just have a look on the last update date...!
Another thing, fly a mission at least twice before posting a bug report... if you didn't complete it at the first time, it doesn't mean it is a bug, even hot shot pilots can fail sometimes >:-)
Happy flying !
