Thought for the week
"Every great achievement was once considered impossible."
Squadron News
Again, a slow week...
The flight members and flight leaders are still AWOL; if they don't return soon I'll just have to replace them and hunt them down.
Normally, I would be in the Drunken Wasp Bar to celebrate my promotion to captain, but without any other Wasps present it would make for a rather dull party.

Attention all JK/JKII/JA map designers
FA Marcin Szydlowski
I have found very intresting webpage while browsing the net. MAP CENTER is a message board for all those who create custom maps for the above games.
It can help you, by answering questions you may have, related to map creation.
Thank you for you attention.
Fix for SP2 and patches
FA Ender mBind
For the silly people that trust MS too much (and install everything by them w/o thinking) Den made a new 32 bit version of tiepatch.exe which fixes the
problems with XP SP2 (and is ofcourse twice as big for the same effect... yay "progress").
Get it from http://www.minos.net/~sco/files/Tiepatch.zip
Usage is simple: just replace the tiepatch.exe in the patches already with this one and for the rest everything stays the same as before.
Thanks to Den for the quick coding. :)
Wednesday Night Rumble
HA Priyum Patel
A new Freeworlds event has been approved by the Training Office and beginstomorrow - the Wednesday Night Rumble.
The basic idea is this: At 10pm GMT / 5pm EST, all FW participants show up in our IRC channel, #isd_predator.
There I will announce the target for the night: it can be anything ranging from an entire Hostile faction (numbers allowing), a few individuals or even just one person. The pilots (you) will then organise themselves into Hunting Packs - these must be led by either an EHC member or FW CMDR (again, numbers allowing). Alternatively you may choose to hunt alone.
For the next two hours the objective of the Hunters will be to find the target and kill it. Each kill will earn you a Legion of Combat. If the kill is achieved by a Pack and it's unclear who got the final killing shot, then the Pack Leader must nominate up to two people for the kill to receive the LoC. Each kill must be accompanied by a screen-shot, so remember to jab the "Print Screen" button repeatedly. After the two hours are up, the Pack Leader must send the results to me (spellfire@btinternet.com) and I'll announce the winner the following day.
The person with the most kills will receive the Iron Star w/ Silver Wings (Bronze Wings to the runner-up).
You may join the session at any time and you may swap Packs at will - just let the Leader know first. ALL RoEs and other rules apply during the Hunt.
The first Hunt's target will be me, [EHC]Spellfire2. I'll be in my TIE Cyclone, so come and try to wtfpwn me.
New TCHC
FA Marcin Szydlowski
With resignation of D.T Hammer, I've appoited Malik of Prae as new TCHC.
He is our ultimate tester, and he should be able to perform all final checks without any delays.
Congrats!
