News:
First of all merry Christmas or happy holidays to all! & on a personal note I've passed the six month mark as Prae CMDR;p.

news from AD Aseret (from Astantine)
In light of ongoing issues with the current message boards, we are moving to a new message board system at http://mb.emperorshammer.net/
Please update necessary links and other items and contact me if you need a MB created or mod access setup. Thanks.

news from GN Ice:
I'd like to note that my email has changed to gorthaur@hriders.com
GOtta love 1 terabyte account ;p

think up some new motto's for flight one & two: (the flight one motto I added to this report later is probably temporary);p.
you all might want to start thinking about future comps, I'd like to arrange some large scale operations in the new year too;p. - all glory to Prae;p.

I sent HA Cyric a e-mail for the official Prae colors I choose Red as the primary & orange as the secondary since it goes along with our banner.

I also sent SA Astantine a e-mail for mod status/access for the Prae section on the new MB (I've registered there, but thats about it atm- I prefer to get my TAC flying asignments & other duties completed before spamming the MB);p.

perhaps these old motto's can give you some inspiration?!
from the Prae site circa 2000':
flight 1 "Death comes in many forms..."
flight 2 "We will take you to hell and back..."
flight 3 "Force and terror acomplish that which reason and understanding cannot"

Flight Deck:
I'm going to post notices of bugged battles/missions here so nobody wastes their time attemting to fly the incompletable/impossible;p.
XWA-FCHG4 (mission 4 is bugged)- I've reported this to GN Master.
BoP-ID1 (mission 4 is incompletable)- I've reported this to VA Styles
XvT-TC#11... Mission 7 is completable (barely) but still horribly bugged (this just in from MAJ Dolsar Saris a few weeks ago).
XWA Free 25 -> There are not enough points to
match the current high score. I have tried all
difficulty settings, and the best score is only
about half the HS.

XWA Free 26 -> Not only is this mission rather
demanding, but the problem is in the escape buoy:
it is present for only a fraction of a second,
and it doesn't work, meaning the player is stuck
in region #2 and cannot finnish the mission.
I have tried this one on 'hard' only because it
takes a lot of time to finish. I can try playing
it on other settings, but somehow I (GN Master is working on fixing this one).

XWA Free 97 -> There is nothing to do but inspect
the 'exit buoy.' If that mission was supposed to
be a maze, I found myself flying outside of it.
This means the best (and only) score that I can
make is 250 points. I played that one on 'hard'
only.


I encourage the rest of Prae to participate in this section- send in info on known bugged battles/missions of all platforms.

Orders:
-Monthly flying requirements will be implemented after New Year's in January: It'll be 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 after all);p.
-Help create some Praetorian Trivia questions for AD Aseret the SDIR! (As needs some Prae related trivia for an ID comp- any help would be apreciated).

-RECRUIT, our numbers are dwindling fast, 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 ISM.

current citations listings:
LC Malik 16 citations (about now I wish i could cash these in for a ISM too);p.
COL Frodo 1 citation
CPT Deimos 1 citation
CPT Drak 5 citations
MAJ Chris Cox 1 citation
COL Morgan 1 citation
LC Dolsar Saris 2 citations
MAJ Evo Sarnok 8 citations

current citation assignments:
(1-1)LC Abel Malik = TIE-TC 31, TIE-TC 32, TIE-TC 34, TIE-TC 38, TIE-TC 40, TIE-TC 42,

(1-2)COL Frodo March = n/a, fly what you want to.

(1-4)MAJ Deimos = n/a the only XWA battle left is the bugged XWA-FCHG4. fly whatever you feel like.

(2-1)MAJ Drak = XWA-DB 4, TIE-TC 11, TIE-TC 33, TIE-TC 36, TIE-TC 50,

(2-2)GN Andrzej Mezynski = TIE-TC 133, XvT-TC 7, XvT-TC 8, XvT-TC 9, XvT-TC 10,

(2-3)MAJ Chris Cox = TIE-TC 4, TIE-TC 6, TIE-TC 10, TIE-TC 13, TIE-TC 14,

(3-1)LC Dolsar Saris = XvT-TC 27, XvT-TC 32, XvT-TC 55, XvT-TC 56,

(3-2)COL Benjamin Jahou Morgan = TIE-TC 48, XvT-TC 12, XvT-TC 14, XvT-TC 15, XvT-TC 16,

(3-3)MAJ Evo Sarnok = TIE-TC 78, TIE-TC 185, TIE-DB 15, XvT-TC 28,

These assignments will earn some citations (I'm aproximating since this citeboard program is about as useless as a vibroblade in a lightsaber duel);p.

TIE-TC 78
TIE-DB 15
XvT-TC 17
XvT-TC 28
XvT-TC 33
