<Salute>

Greetings everyone,

while Jon travels the seven seas and nealy everyone else is lying around - must have been a great party - only 1 found the time to fly for the "Battle of the month" TIE assignment: COL Inkwolf.

The Order "find a opponent" was given out by Stele, so I challenged some ppl...but no one dares to fight our tiny Wing II TIE squadron. I`ll keep on looking tho...

Magazine mention for the TIE Corps
04:12 - SA Astatine
The Australian gaming magazine, Hyper, recently ran a fairly comprehensive article on the history of Star Wars games. We get a mention as a fansite. COL Torres scanned the article pages and they're up here. Take note that some of the images are over 200k. The mention of the TIE Corps is on the 4th page.

Wing XVI WC Appointed
14:15 - HA Priyum Patel
Many congratulations to Lieutenant Colonel Keller who has been selected as the new Wing Commander for Wing XVI!

In other news, I'm still looking for a new Tiger Squadron Commander. The Squadron flies the TIE Bomber, so if you're an active Freeworlds pilot looking for a command and enjoy dropping torps on hapless Rebels, let me know (spellfire@btinternet.com)!

Windows XP SP2 and You.
07:57 - FA Ender mBind
As usual the Microsoft data on their new "SP2" only elaborates on what it can do more now, and not on what it will fail at now.

As it looks now, SP2 will not run a utility called "TIEPATCH.EXE", something which we use in all patches, also not when you use the XPInstaller.

We will be replacing this utility ASAP but for the time being: if you want to play missions that use patches do not install XP SP2.

Note: Uninstalling SP2 doesn't work, it will just remain on your system and pretend its not there.

Retirements
19:27 - FA Cyric
It is with heavy heart that I announce the retirements of two of the TC's longest standing members. AD Proton, SOVCOM has asked to be retired to the reserves once a replacement is found. AD Proton has served as the SOVCOM for over two years, and wishes to turn the ship over to younger blood.

AD Mell Kerrigan has also asked to retire to the reserves after completing a few more duties. Mell has been a huge influence on many TC and EH policies as well as a thorn in the sides of many a CO :)

I WILL NOT BE ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS FOR THESE POSITIONS.

If I do open them up I will post requirements here in the news section and the Message Boards.

I am sorry to see these two members leave.

• New competition coming up for this month thanks to Wemmel's input. We're going to have a Veterans vs Rookies competition this month. This is a great oppurtunity for the Veterans to show what they've still got or for the Rookies to show what they can bring to the table.
  
  We are also contacting old veterans for this competition, but I'm not sure if any will respond or participate but it's worth a shot.
  
  Vetarans are categorized depending on how long they've served, which we've narrowed down to two years of service. Those serving under two years are placed as Rookies.
  
  I will update you on the details in a few days and the list below may change depending on how many old vets respond. Any comments or suggestions are appreciated.
