TC/ID/Prae News:
AD Aseret returned from leave today, all pending ID/Prae issues will be handled within the next 48 hours.
the TAC released TIE-TC222, XvT-TC109, and FXvT180 recently & FXvT181 today (theres a high scores comp for FXvT181 so go forth and earn a new shiny Iron Star);p.

March's MSE has been completed & submitted to HA Cyric & AD Aseret Thunderhawk, hopefully the medal requests won't take too long due to the lack of a Operations Officer.
Morgan feel free to change the Flight III motto if you don't like that one too, since LC Saris created that one. (same goes for the other flights too as far as motto's- if you have something better than the current ones feel free to speak up and contribute).

LC Ric Taldrya won the title of Prae Centurion (and the rest of the Prae comps for March) after last months activity so may use that in his ID line until a new Centurion is apointed at the start of next month- this comps our own version of pilot of the week with a twist;p. (as long as I'm Prae CMDR i'm going to continue this comp);p. I started

a Praetorian ID medal board just incase anyone ever looses e-mails/info ect.. I may want to have that added to the Prae site down the road though.

News from the TAC AD Frodo: Tactical Competition update (some of us Praes made the news);p.
This week the Mission Creation Incentive ended. Congradulations to LC Ric Taldrya and VA Gidda for a shared 1st place victory in the battles division.

First place for missions was RA Locke Setzer. We saw alot of submissions this month and it was indeed a grand competition.

The Tactical pilot of the Month for March 2005 was COL Abel Malik. All medals were recommended! (and now awarded);p.

Iron Mission Creator round 1 has begun, we'll see how it goes :) (I'm one of the judges of the Iron Mission Creator com as well);p.


Missions Flown Tally for March:
COL Malik: 355 missions flown/16 squadron citations earned. (2 high scores earned)
COL Torres: 28 missions flown. (1 high score earned).
MAJ Deimos: 19 missions flown. (22 high scores earned)
MAJ Drak: 4 missions flown.
LC Ric Taldrya: 119 missions flown/6 squadron citations earned.
COL Morgan: 6 missions flown/1 squadron citation earned.
MAJ Evo Sarnok: 5 missions flown/1 squadron citation earned.
-----------------------------------
Total missions flown by Prae: 536 missions flown in all.
Average missions flown by Prae: 76.5 missions flown on average.
Total citations earned by Praetorians in March: 24 new citations.
Average citations earned by each Prae: 3.4 citations earned averaged.

March Competition results:
The Competitions were:
Prae FCHG Ladder: http://www.ehtiecorps.org/competitions/details.asp?ID=1807
for the purposes of the comp I recorded the Praes FCHG level at March 1st:
COL Malik 2896
COL Torres 2345
LC Ric Taldrya 2268
MAJ Drak 1726
MAJ Deimos 1690
COL Morgan 712
MAJ Evo Sarnok 670

at the end of March the FCHG levels were
COL Malik 3251 (+355) (I gained Imperator then tried to be the best IMPR I possibly could, climbing up the fchg ladder to the #5 FCHG spot);p.
LC Ric Taldrya 2387 (+119)
COL Torres 2374 (+29)
MAJ Deimos 1785 (+95) (most impressive considering Deimos only flew 4 battles)!
MAJ Drak 1726 (0) (due to loosing XvT high scores, he flew 4 missions so maintained his level)
COL Morgan 729 (+17)
MAJ Evo Sarnok 675 (+5)

so LC Ric Taldrya wins the Prae FCHG Ladder comp with 119 new FCHG points for March and will earn a new Iron Star - Bronze Wings (IS-BW).

Citation Grab Bag: http://www.ehtiecorps.org/competitions/details.asp?ID=1806
results of the comp:
LC Ric Taldrya: 6 new squadron citations
COL Morgan: 1 new squadron citation
MAJ Evo Sarnok: 1 new squadron citation

so LC Ric Taldrya wins the Citation Grab Bag comp with 6 new squadron citations and will earn a new Iron Star - Bronze Wings (IS-BW).

Prae Academia: http://www.ehtiecorps.org/competitions/details.asp?ID=1808
results of the comp:
only LC Ric Taldrya took 1 IWATS ciurse during March. (I guess nobody felt like being "edumacated" as the TO would say);p.

Prae Centurion: http://www.ehtiecorps.org/competitions/details.asp?ID=1809 (our own version of pilot of the week, I'm going to be continuing this comp on a monthly basis);p.
results of the comp:
LC Ric Taldrya 1st & 2nd week of March.
COL Torres 3rd & 4th week of March.

it's was a draw so Drak decided the winner and who earned a new Iron Star - Bronze Ribbon (IS-BR).

so LC Ric Taldrya is the Prae Centurion for the month of March until a new Centurion is apointed in April.


Flight Deck:
in TIE-ID2 mission 4 the friedly capital ship Ardent is not in the mission at all on easy making it incompletable; however, on medium the Ardent is present- no clue whats up here;p.
mission four of XWA-TC46 (on medium) is incompletable (easy works just fine though).
mission six in TIE-TC78 is seriously bugged and cannot be completed due to a mission critical craft (an ETR or ATR) never arriving.

Also, BoP-ID1, XWA-FCHG4, and TIE-TC96 were fixed in the last few weeks by the Tactical Office.

keep posting the bugs! (I do report this to AD Frodo March & VA Master so they're aware of any problems with battles or free missions).

Prae Orders:
-participate in the new April competitions.
-Monthly flying requirements are in place: It's a mandatory requirement to fly at least one battle or four free missions a month, I will allow you to fly MP matches in place of the missions if you wish (I'm easy to work with usually);p.
-Recruit, our numbers are fairly steady: however, if you know of any exemplary pilots who meet our requirements feel free to let me know about them. Remember our requirements for being accepted to take the Prae trials are the rank of LCM with 400 FCHG; however, for a full status Prae it's still CM with at least 500 FCHG.
http://praetorian.rawx.net/join.php (the only exception to this rule I'm allowing is former Prae's who served more than three months; however, they must still have the min required FCHG of 500). We are elite after all.
-work on improving your own personal FCHG levels- remember we do have a few squadron specific rewards related to this! ;p.

For every 10 squadron citations you earn for Prae I will recommend you for a Imperial Security Medal (ISM).

current citations listings:
COL Malik (48 citations altogeather)
COL Torres 4/10 citations
MAJ Deimos 1/10 citations
MAJ Drak 3/10 citations (33 citations altogeather)
LC Ric Taldrya 0/10 citations (20 citations altogeather)
COL Morgan 6/10 citations (16 citations altogeather)
MAJ Evo Sarnok 9/10 citations (29 citations altogeather) (just one more cit for a new ISM, Evo)!

current citation assignments: (from now on this is a first come first earned activity)- you can use the link below to maximuze our efforts.
