Hey Squadron Report for February 9th through 15th 2003.

Hey Hey! Time for another squadron report. Quiet week, but let's do it!

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

Our competition with Praetorian Squadron ended on Wednesday. I'll pass on the results when I get 'em. I only recieved 1 pilot file, I'm pretty disappointed. C'mon folks, you're pilots! FLY!! I can understand technical difficulties, y'all know I've had my share, but you have to let me know. If I know ahead of time, I can make sure your not flying doesn't hurt the squadron as a whole in a comp.

We'll be rechallenging Delta Squadron at some point after the Sov wargame.

As I stated on the squadron messageboard (hint, hint), I've made quite a bit of progress on the squadron website. I'm just working on getting the frames up and running. Hopefully, it'll be ready to go live by the deadline. I like this job! :)

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

Our beloved Wing Commander, LC Aeishline Strathaven has returned from her leave. Welcome back Ash!

Beth CMDR, CPT Adren Silvori was promoted to MAJ! Congratulations! I can't think of any MAJor jokes, though. Getting rusty...

This may not be the best place for it, but try not to spam the Wing III mailing list unnecessarily. By spam, I mean one sentence replies. If folks start complainin' about an e-mail thread (for lack of a better term) move it to a messageboard or e-mail the person you're talking to directly.

Other than that, nothin' springs to my mind. Read Ash's next report. :P

The T/Pr, T/Dr, T/G, T/SB (formerly SB-III), A-9b, K-W, S/Y-W and M/A-W have all been updated to be on slot #11 (tienew2) and can now be installed with others that aren't on that slot. Several stats changes here and there, all new installers and the T/Dr and S/Y-W received new OPTs.
The Mobquet Transport and the M/FRT the Luggage have also been released for XvT and more patches are coming up shortly, also for XWA and TIE.

More on the patches is in the SCO report, the patches themselves you can get from the Patch Archive on the Science Office Site. If you encounter any missions with these craft that haven't been updated since yesterday, report it to the TAC. Report other bugs to me.

FLY!! Fly anything, everything! Fly for the Hey Squadron Top Ace competiton! An IS-BW is on offer as always, so it's well worth your time.

Communicate! Post on the squadron messageboard, send me e-mail. Attend the Wing meeting on IRC (#wing_iii) at 8PM GMT. Don't spam the Wing III mailing list, though (see Wing News).

Write fiction, create graphics! Fiction is great, fiction with pictures is even better!

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

Have fun!

Thanks,

Lieutenant Colonel Josh Popelka
