News:
Due to the efforts of GN Ice, MAJ Chris Cox & myself this week one of my goals for the squad has now been realized- we've finaly attained 150+ citations (158 to be precise);p.
Also, we have all received our TC or Intel Division mse awards for December's activity now from either myself, the EHFO HA Cyric, or ExDIR VA Scrier.
and last, but not least former Praetorian 1-2 COL Frodo March was apointed the new Tactical Officer & promoted to RA! (that makes one EHDB Grandmaster (GM) & a EHTAC to have come out of Prae in the last seven months);p.
Another news tidbit is its Commendation of Loyalty (CoL) time again, I've already chosen someone from Prae & submitted the recco to the EHFO & EHOPs a few days ago.
Important Fact! Note you can still fly FTIE93 for the EH Anniversarry comp ran by the LO's Office you have until the 10th to get those files in. Thanks to Drak for finding this info.
on a personal note, I've knocked the Avenger CMDR, GN Nightmare out of his FCHG spot as well. (TIE's good for something at least- FCHG):D.

GN Andrezej Mezynski: n/a

~A shimmery blue screen sharpens and focuses. A little residue static remains, but the picture is clear, tri-dee and obviously important- the
Emperor's Hammer prefers briefings to be sent bi-dee, or even in text.
***A robed figure walks into view, unclips robe and places it carefully on a stool behind itself before addressing the screen.
"Salutations. As you may or may not know, I am an Inquistor of the High Court. As you certainly will not know, I am currently authorized to appropriate
any Emperor's Hammer unit as I see fit, in order to... complete... a set of circumstances that the High Court has become involved with. My
authorization identity codes are to be transmitted separately. Naturally, you are welcome to wait until they arrive before complying with my instructions,
but this would be... inadvisable.
To business. In short, the High Court requires possession of a data disc containing a tri-dee hologramatic recording. The nature of this recording
is not important. What is, however, is that we require the possession of this disc, and as soon as possible. The disc is currently in transit towards
New Republic-held territories, on board a so-called "neutral" diplomatic vessel. The disc must be recovered, it is cared not how. However, Emperor's
Hammer involvement must not be made public.
To this end, the High Court has been given access to any unit required. Praetorian Squadron is, and as of
Imperial Stardate 05122004-0030GMT has been placed under the High Court's jurisdiction. Correct, weare appropriating Praetorian. Full command will be
restored upon successful completetion of the mission.
As I mentioned; full appropriation orders, authorization codes from the Fleet Commander and additional materials will be sent under separate cover.
For the Empire."
***The figure salutes the screen, and then turns and nods to someone, or something, out of view and the tri-dee image fizzles and snaps to a single point of
light which then blinks out, to be replaced with glowing blue text:

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 multiple times...
XvT-TC#11... Mission 7 is completable (barely) but still horribly bugged (this just in from MAJ Dolsar Saris a few weeks ago).
Submitted by MAJ Deimos:
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.
XWA-TC 33 I've played mission 1 on all difficulty
settings, and there are not enough points to match
the official score. For mission 2 I only tried 'hard',
and there are also not enough points to match the
current high score. At least that old HS is mine.
:-)
Missions 3 and 4 really gave me a lot of trouble.
I knew Kodiak was good multiplay flyer (we flew
together once), but I never figured I would have
that many problems breaking his high scores.
FTIE93 (submitted by MAJ Drak):
i believe that the current highscore as shown on the Database is a result of cheating and ask that an investigation into it be launched.
I flew this on hard i got 93% accuracy with both lasers & ions , 100% with missiles, i killed all 12 B-wings & A-Wings, 2 space objects, got 2 bonus goals, didnt get the final bonus goal which was to let one rebel survive (figured the mon cal cruiser woulda done that but no, i reflew and let one escape and nope that didnt work, reflew again and disabled last one still no bonus goal:/) however according to the readme it says no points are awarded for that bonus goals and i dont see how having all bonus goals would award you with 69612 points
Further more i flew this again a fourth time, this time i flew on medium, my accuracy was shot to hell (approx 50 - 60%) but i got a higher score, what i did different was to blast all freindly craft to kingdom come.
As i understand it killing freindly craft is a nono
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 are now 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 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 18 citations (about now I wish i could cash these in for a ISM too);p.
MAJ Deimos 1 citation
MAJ Drak 5 citations
GN Ice 9 citations
MAJ Chris Cox 0 citations (reset back to zero after earning a new ISM).
COL Morgan 1 citation
LC Dolsar Saris 2 citations
MAJ Evo Sarnok 8 citations
current citation assignments: (from now on this is afirst come first earned activity)- you can use the link below to maximuze our efforts.
Only one Prae needs to complete the following battles in order to gain a squadron citation: (if you have not completed one of the following battles listed below- a citation is up for grabs!);p.
