Ship/Fleet News
1) Mission Design...
07:12 - FA Striker [striker@tiecorps.org]
A little thing to remember when creating a custom mission: there is a maximum number of crafts the game can support at one time ! This limit is 28/32 for TIE Fighter (TIE Disk/TIECD-95), 32 for Xwing vs TIE Fighter, 96 per region in X-Wing Alliance...
2) COO Competition Times
09:22 - COL Brucmack [bjmacken@engmail.uwaterloo.ca]
There was some confusion this morning over the time of the COO-run comp. The confusion is based on the fact that North America has not yet gone to Daylight Saving Time, and the rest of the world has :)
As of tomorrow, we will be on DST though, so consider all competition times on TC.org to be Eastern Daylight Time. In other words, comps are now at GMT -4. For most people, this will mean the comps are at the same time as they were prior to this week. For anyone in zones that do not switch to DST, the comps will be one hour earlier.
So, in other words, just consider the times listed in this database as being GMT -4 now :)
3) Internet guidelines
15:46 - FA Ari [ari@tiecorps.org]
I have written up a list of Internet Guidelines for the entire fleet. You can always check them out at http://www.ehnet.org/guidelines.php. Sites MUST follow the rules laid out in the guidelines, and we at the Internet Office highly recommend considering the suggestions.
Rules:
Sites MUST have links to the EH Disclaimers (http://www.emperorshammer.org/disclaim.htm) and EH Privacy Policy (http://www.emperorshammer.org/privacy.htm) pages displayed on the main page of their site or on the navbar.
Sites may NOT use tsx.org as a redirection service.
Obviously, all sites must abide by Bylaws and AoWs.
Sites who do not obey these rules will not be linked to by any major EH site. Webmasters who do not comply after being asked to may be subject to Security Officer action.
The Internet Officer reserves the right to add rules to these at any time.
Strong Suggestions:
Sites with excessively long URLs should consider domain redirection provided by http://www.stardestroyer.org.
All sites should be compatible with the latest version of major browsers (IE 6 and Netscape 6).
Sites should preferably be optimized for 800x600 resolution, but if it is necessary, 1024x768 is also acceptable.
A good idea is to run your site through the W3C HTML Validator (http://validator.w3.org/) and CSS Validator (http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/).
Do not have unnecessary large images, popups, or Java applets on your page. They slow down loading time tremendously.
A warning about using MS Word and older versions of Frontpage to create websites: they add in large amounts of unnecessary tags, which slow down loading times.
These aren't too much to ask for I hope, but all EH sites MUST follow these rules.
4) EH Day at Kennywood Park
15:40 - CPT PhoenixMan [GMFPhoenix@aol.com]
Plans are in the works for an EH Day in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It will be held at the world-famous Kennywood Park. The park contains the famed ThunderBolt and Steel Phantom (remodelled and called Phantom's Revenge), which the Discovery Channel rated as the #1 and #5 best coasters in the entire world!
The likely date will be in July/August. Please contact gmfphoenix@aol.com and BradTack@isdcolossus.com if you'd be able to attend so it can be scheduled when it's most accomodating. We hope to see many EH members there!
5) More Battlestats Notes
07:41 - COL Brucmack [bjmacken@engmail.uwaterloo.ca]
This (sort of) goes along with my last note about our club's Battlestats roster...
BSC has a system that runs once per day and removes all members inactive for 100 days or more from their club rosters. The profiles remain, but they are removed from the club roster. So if you want to avoid this, do some activity on BSC before that happens, or resubmit your signup to the EH roster after being removed. Again, things like editing your profile and posting a message on BSC message boards also count towards activity there, and will reset the timer. On your player profile at BSC, you can see your last activity date as well.
Now, I have a request about new signups to the roster. Currently, I hunt for the new pilots in the TC database to see which division they should go in. It would do me a great help though if everyone could enter their ID line in the comment section of the signup. This comment is only seen by the person approving your signup, and will make sure that you aren't mistaken for someone else or (worse) not found in the TC DB. Thank you :)
6) Wing VI Shuts Down
05:12 - FA Priyum Patel [spellfire@btinternet.com]
Yes, those rumours are true. Yesterday, Wing VI onboard the SSSD Sovereign was officially closed down. Increasingly, the number of TIE pilots coming into the TC has declined and both myself and the SovCOM, Vice Admiral Proton, agreed that the Sovereign could no longer support so many TIE Wings. It was not an easy decision, but one we hope will strengthen the other Sov Wings. VI's former WC, Colonel Gen Es'mith, takes over the position of Wing I WC and all VI pilots have been transferred across the other Sov Wings. If anyone has a question or comment about what has happened, then please don't hesitate to email myself and the SovCOM.
7) Relentless Commodore
06:39 - FA Priyum Patel [spellfire@btinternet.com]
Earlier this week, Vice Admiral Lohr Zadash announced his decision to retire as Commodore of the ISD Relentless. In his place, congratulations to the former Wing IX WC, Rear Admiral Krax Tarnisar, someone who has proven his command competency in his previous position. Applications for a new Wing Commander are now being accepted with the following requirements:
Proven Command history - at least 4 months experience as a Squadron Commander.
Absolute reliability in turning in weekly Wing reports and prompt email reply times.
Good knowledge of all TIE Corps standing orders and policies.
No serious/recent HCI convictions.
These, in addition to all other Wing Commander duties as detailed in the Training Manual entry.
Wing IX is a single player T/F Wing in the TIE Corps Battlegroups. All applications should be sent to RA Krax Tarnisar and AD Mell by the end of the week, with "I wanna be WC!" in the subject of the email. Good luck if you choose to apply.
8) Wing Commander Appointment
06:28 - FA Priyum Patel [spellfire@btinternet.com]
Congratulations to Colonel Wil Striker on his promotion to Wing Commander of Wing XIV onboard the ISD Intrepid.
9) New IWATS Course
22:06 - AD Havoc [Pellaeon2000@cs.com]
Yet another new IWATS course is out. This time its IWATS Flash, Take it today at http://iwats.stardestroyer.org!
10) ASF Supremacy Competition
09:37 - AD Cyric [jroscoe@bellatlantic.net]
The Aggressor Strike Force Squadron Competition started approx. 2.5 - 3 years ago under then AD Priyum. Its goal was to create an atmosphere for the ASF where everysingle piece of activity was graded or scored, and each and every pilot had an opportunity to gain medals for this activity. It sought to find which squadron was the best in the ASF.
Of the activities graded: MP, SP, mission creation, battle creation, fiction, medals earned, Iwats courses completed, Recruitment, Graphics, to name a few are scored. I have also included WoW standings (1st,2nd,3rd asf pilots in the WoWs). Good luck to all ASF Squadrons and Pilots in this competition.
11) New Wing XV WC
09:30 - FA Priyum Patel [spellfire@btinternet.com]
With the resignation of Colonel Garik Hizad earlier this week, a new Wing Commander for Wing XV is already in place...congratulations to the former Scorpion Commander, Major Ekim Yellek!
12) Imperial Storm Website
09:40 - FA Priyum Patel [spellfire@btinternet.com]
The Imperial Storm III website is now online for viewing. It contains the rules, fleet lists and all the other resources pilots need to take part in this TIE Corps-wide wargame. If you have any questions about ImpStorm, then please email the Flight Officer or WO/VA Pel.
