Crusader Squadron
Weekly Squadron Report #3 - 10/02/2004

Random Musings:
Well this has been a slow week in terms of activity. Not
a whole lot to say except to get active guys.

Also, start looking for recruits. I have a recruitment
incentive contest on the table for approval for the whole
month. We really need ot have new blood in this squadron,
and presently, since there are ALOT of squadrons looking
for recruits form the training PLT, requests to the FO for
sending some our way will be futile.

We need to do the work ourselves. This means getting new
pilots to enlist, then guiding them through the process of
meeting their training requirements, and finally getting
them assigned to Crusader.

In other news, I have yet to look over the Name/Motto entries,
but I will keep you posted.

Other than that, there isnt much goin on this week.

Squadron News:
• 2 new competitions on the table for Crusader. Will alert you
when they become available.
• Crusader Name/Motto comp ended with only 2 entries! Sad turn out,
but thanks to those who participated. Keiran and Panaka both got
an IS-BR for their participation.
• New Standing orders are in the works. Stay tuned for more info.

ISD Grey Wolf News:
• TO smacked down Gilad's first request for the CMDR vs Wolfpack comp.
More info as it becomes available.


Fleet News:
• FreeWorlds Clones and the TC....
11:05 - FA Cyric
I want to remind everyone that the clones created for the FreeWolds "Experiment" MUST have different e-mail addresses than those of your primary profile. Please make sure that, if you slipped through the cracks with the same e-mail address that you change it.

It is long standing EH policy that if clones are allowed, they MUST have different e-mail addresses.

• Fleet Manual Updates
11:34 - FA Ender mBind
The Fleet Manual (the official spacecraft technical referance of the Emperor's Hammer) has been ported to php/database. The main URL of the Fleet Manual will remain the same, but if you have any links towards craft profiles or anything within the Fleet Manual you will need to update those.

With the port the Fleet Manual has been updated as well: Many new craft were added (25), about all these craft now have graphics that show them from all angles, all craft have their full XWA statistics added, all patches are linked up etc.

This does not mean this version of the Fleet Manual is finished. More craft and graphics will be added soon, as will more complete reference lists etc. Also the entire Order of Battle still needs to be ported (in FM links at least) :)

The Fleet Manual is located at: http://www.minos.net/~sco/fleet-manual/index.html

• New Battles Added
22:21 - VA Styles
3 New battles added

BoP-Free32 - Axis: Sistership
BoP-Free33 - Cool Hand Luke
Tie-Free249 - TIE Fighter: Demonstration
Good Work Creators and all who tested and corrected

• Craft Essay Competition
12:35 - FA Ender mBind
Start Date: 10/1/2004
End Date: 11/1/2004
Parties Involved: All Emperor's Hammer Members except for the SCO
Medals to be Awarded: 1st IS-GR, 2nd IS-SR, 3rd IS-BR or equalivalent SG medal.

Write an essay about your favorite Star Wars ship: Why was it designed? What are its main uses? Its History? Its strengths and shortcomings?

Essays need to be from "inside" the Star Wars universe, and from an Emperor's Hammer point of view is encouraged (but not required).
DO research on your craft of choice, your essay cannot conflict with official sources. If you use sources, list these at the end. (This means a fairly unknown or EH craft gives you more freedom then one that is well documented.. but also that you will need use your own logic and imagination more.)
Essays can be any length, if you want to write about the entire history of the "Millenium Falcon" you're free to do so, but a short but effective story about the TUG has just as much chance to win.
Essays need to be in .txt, .rtf, .html or .doc format and zipped. Send your submission to sco@emperorshammer.org with "Craft Essay Competition" as subject.
The best entries may be included in the the Fleet Manual, a seperate additional ISM (or equalivalent) will be rewarded for those.
