Talon Report # 5 (2003-07-04)

This report was submitted by MAJ Xander Drax




Squadron Report #5 - 7/04/03

Xander Drax landed his fighter on the flight deck of the Subjugator, the last of his squad to enter the bay. The two new pilots had flown well in the last engagement. Though neither had scored a kill yet, they had defended the transports from pirate attack. As Xander climbed out of his cockpit, he was greeted by another officer holding a pad. On it was the list of Talon's new Squadron Citations.


Squadron News

1. I would like to congradulate welcome LT Thomas Kenobi and SL Matt Dante to the squad. With your arrival, we can now start earning those nice squadron citations. At this moment, we are leading the wing with citations, with 21. Let's make sure that number goes up.

2. LC TK-7764 has been appointed WC of Wing XX. As you know, this means drinks are on him, so I'll be in the cantina.

3. Wing X vs Wing XX "Who's the true X?" competition is on. Details can be found at http://home.arcor.de/web_admin/competitions.htm as well as on the TC database. Go out there and show those X'ers that we are twice the X they could ever hope to be.

4. BJ results are out, and we only lost by one point. We were so close we could taste it. With BG COM Khaen's new scoring set up, we would have won last month, so let's make sure that we use it to our advantage this month. Details, as always, can be found at http://bj.tiecorps.net.

5. I still think that XWA battles are the way for us to get more Citations, so let's see if we can fly as many as possible. I would like to see us knock off all the XWA-TC missions for citations.


Squadron Orders

1. Wing X vs. Wing XX comp top priority.

2. BJ comp is runnig again. Get in entries!

3. Recruit. We need bodies behind those flight yokes.

Avenger Recruitment Competition
12:29 - COL Dax Corrin [eggpine@hotmail.com]
Have you ever thought you had what it takes to be an Avenger? Now's your chance to prove it! The first-ever Avenger pilot recruitment competition will begin July 7th. Open to both XvT and XWA divisions, this will pit the best MP pilots in the fleet against each other to win invitations to join the best. This is open to all pilots in the EH. IS-GWs will be awarded to top pilots in each division, IS-SW to 2nd place, and IS-BW to 3rd. The top finishers in each division, if not in Avenger already, >:P, will be invited to join. You do not have to accept the invitation to win the medals or participate.

There will be a round-robin to determine the top 8 finishers in each division, which will then battle double elimination to determine the top guns in each division! Enter by emailing
eggpine@hotmail.com and letting me know what division you wish to enter. You may enter in both divisions if you wish. Enter by July 5th, and first-round matches will go out July 7th. Good luck to all!

XWA Mission Tutorial
12:27 - VA RogueWing [roguewing25@yahoo.com]
The new XWA Custom Mission Tutorial site is now up. Written by VA RogueWing, it shows detailed steps on how to create new custom missions for XWA. Each step includes pictures for easy reference. This site was written for people who have never done any mission editing before, and should be fairly easy to follow. It can be found at http://www.minos.net/~immortal/noob/index.html

Emperor's Hammer Mission Compendium hits 3000 missions online!!!
12:54 - AD Marcin Szydlowski [pbmike@go2.pl]
I have been waiting for this moment for a very long time. And now, my dream came true. 10 minutes ago, I have added 3000th mission to our mission compendium, and we have achieved another great milestone: 3000 missions online. Since I took over the TAC, I have set TAC3K as my primary objective. And, after 6 months, I have finally achieved it. Of course it would not be possible without hard work and dedication of entire Tactical Staff, and Tactical Officers before me. I would like to thank the following people:

  • Former Tactical Officer: SA Kawolski and HA Striker, FA Starlion
  • Former Tactical Coordinators: Drako, Gord Darkonian, Tissaya Argat, Mark Schueler, Pellaeon, Enahropes, CrazyR2 (and all those I forgot)
  • My Tactical Staff: Philo, Styles, Apophis Kuma and Master (your cookies are inbound)
  • And all people who supported me by testing and correction and of course submitting new battles and free missions

I really appreciate your hard work and I herby set another goal for my office: TAC5K! When will we hit it? I have no idea. It took me 6 months to release 700 missions, so we will see. And now, let's celebrate!!!! Drinks on me!!!
