Hey Squadron Report for April 21st through 27th, 2003.

Hey Hey! Time for another Hey Squadron Report! Been a fairly quiet week, but let's do it!

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

I've only gotten one submission for the Top Ace so far. The battle to fly is TIE-TC #170 "The Barnyard Beatings". It's an extremely funny battle, I highly recommend flying it at least once.

Vampire Squadron's CMDR, a former Hey member, inquired about a competition. If I remember right, I only got one or two e-mails from everyone about going for it. If anyone else is interested in having a comp with them, drop me a line.

WING NEWS
---------

There will be a return of trivia to the Wing III Meetings. It's a fun time, so if you get the chance, I recommend participating. Meeting time is 9PM GMT (I'm not going to bother converting time zones). Also, if you're interesting in helping put together trivia, contact CM Dierdre Varn.

For other Wing News, read Ash's next report. :P

EH Forums
17:02 - Fleet Admiral Aiden Cantor Karias [io@absolutek.ca]
As per an agreement between me and Ari, I will be in charge of additions or modifications to the EH Forums as COMM. This means that things such as requests for moderator access, new boards, changing moderators, suggestions for the forums, etc... should now be emailed to the me instead of Ari. My email is io@absolutek.ca. Of course if you need help in a pinch, and I'm not around Ari will still be able to help you out.

SquadFirst 1.3 Patch
13:44 - FA Ari [ari@tiecorps.org]
After several delays, SquadFirst, the Squadron Website Template, is now available in version 1.3. Along with code optimization, version 1.3 features an adjustment to the comps display on the sidebar, and will display all comps that are currently running. The second big change is support for Infiltrator Wing sites. SquadFirst can now easily be converted to IW mode with the click of a button. I highly recommend that everyone using SquadFirst download the update patch.

If you are interested in creating your own theme for distribution with SquadFirst, please contact FA Ari. Hopefully we will be able to provide a comprehensive set of instructions for the public soon.

You can download the SquadFirst patch, full version, or additional themes, at http://squadfirst.minos.net.

Save the Zone XvT and XWA Rooms!
12:45 - AD Ender mBind [mindb_ender@hotmail.com]
The XvT and XWA Rooms are marked for deletion from the MSN Zone! That would mean no more XvT or XWA WoWs and other Zone based competitions. Please sign this petition to keep it alive:

(Thank you AD Darksaber for bringing this to attention.)

Profile Removals
11:36 - HA Priyum Patel [spellfire@btinternet.com]
Just a bit of general information: Unless specifically requested, no profiles are deleted from the database. This means if you've been declared AWOL, left the EH or whatever and can't find your profile, then uncheck "Assigned Personnel Only" box on the Search page before entering your name. You'll find the profile has simply been listed as Inactive.

Wing XIV WC
11:00 - HA Priyum Patel [spellfire@btinternet.com]
Many congratulations go out to Major Phantom who has been selected as the new Wing XIV Wing Commander!

Update
10:57 - HA Priyum Patel [spellfire@btinternet.com]
Unfortunately I was with limited computer access over the past two days so I haven't done much in the way of FO-ing. However I'm back now and all outstanding requests should be dealt with by this time tomorrow. Sorry for the delay guys.

New Competition
09:17 - VA Kyle Katarn [Kyle.Katarn@isdcolossus.com]
There is a new Competition. The Sovereign Ace Comp. The Comp is held Tuesdays. 1st time on the 29th April. For more Information, please consult the Combat Calendar.

Also I take suggestions for a BSC Hosted Competition from the EH. Please mail them to me. Also, I search Hosts for this comp who already got BSC knowledge. I think about something like the old Zone Sunday Competition.

News at last!
02:35 - RA Darknyte [darknyte@alltel.net]
Well, no news has been posted since Monday so I decided to make a post. Uh, well...what's new you ask? Plenty, the EH got a new ally called Sith Squadron. Don't know much about them, but they seem cool. Also got an alliance with Dark Empire recently, so we just rock all around.

Wing X WC Appointed
07:06 - HA Priyum Patel [spellfire@btinternet.com]
The Wing Commander for Wing X on the Challenge has been selected sooner than I expected. Many congratulations go out to Major Frey Gallandro. Frey had a very successful tour as Inferno Commander in X, and we're confident he'll continue this trend as WC. Congrats!

Wing Commander Resignations
06:58 - HA Priyum Patel [spellfire@btinternet.com]
Two WCs announced their resignations yesterday. Lieutenant Colonal Tissaya Argat retired as XIV WC, stating her reasons as unsolvable differences with a Command Officer. Colonel Frodo March has also resigned as WC of Wing V and stepped down to a Flight Member position in Krayt Squadron.

I'd just like to clarify that none of these resignations are to do with the recent DB events. Applications are not yet being accepted for either position. If they are then requirements will be posted here.

SQUADRON ORDERS
---------------

Fly! Fly anything, everything! Fly TIE-TC #170!

Communicate! Send me or the squadron or the wing e-mail. My door's always open, feel free to drop me a line. Doesn't have to be TC related. Heh, a lot of e-mail I send isn't. :P

Write fiction, create graphics! The website needs more stuff! Oh, pester me to reinstall Visual Studio .NET. I keep forgetting to do that...

Take IWATS Courses! They look good on your ID Line and you learn stuff.

Have fun!

I think that about covers it for this week.

Thanks,

Lieutenant Colonel Josh Popelka
