Ship/Fleet News
1) More newsletter cover contest stuff
22:47 - SA Kawolski [absurefire@aol.com]
More clues to the Newsletter cover contest have been revealed on the Executive Office homepage at http://www.kawolski.com. Many people are getting close, but so far nobody has gotten the theme correct and nobody has been able to describe what the things/people that don't belong in NL covers #74, #75, and #76 are.
2) Mission skipping...
08:29 - FA Striker [striker@tiecorps.org]
..is only allowed in case of a bug preventing the mission from being completed, which is extremely rare. From now on I will strictly apply the current cheating policy, and I will cancel any BSF with some mission skipped where 1/ there is no mention of a bug or 2/ for which no bug report has been submitted (which are to be submitted before submitting the pilot file), without any notification (until the database supports such a nice feature); the concerned battle or mission will be simply removed from your combat record. Furthermore, I am seriously considering forbidding skipping missions for ANY reason, as I have noticed too many abuses of this policy. If a mission has got a high score, maybe should you consider the possibility that someone did complete it and thus that the mission can be completed.
3) Uniforms and banners
18:39 - SA Kawolski [absurefire@aol.com]
Just a quick update. The process of approving and rejecting uniforms on tiecorps.org is now the sole responsibility of the Operations Office. The process of approving and rejecting new banners on tiecorps.org is now the responsibility of the Flight Office.
If your banner won't load for some reason, please e-mail the Executive Officer Sector Admiral Kawolski a copy of the banner and a copy of the error message displayed. (If you get a generic 500 error, turn off "Show Friendly HTTP Error Messages" under Tools->Internet Options->Advanced->Browsing and try again)
4) Design a bad guy competition
22:20 - HA Astatine [jpboyce@indigo.net.au]
There is a new competition running, "Design a bad guy". Basically the idea is to design an enemy for the EH. The best will be selected for use in future competitions. For details, go to http://www.imperialacademy.org/comps/badguy/.
5) 2,000 missions in the Mission Compendium
12:00 - FA Striker [striker@tiecorps.org]
327 Battles, 300 Free Missions, for a total of 2,000 missions online... check out the latest TAC report for the celebrations.
6) Newsletter cover contest
09:19 - SA Kawolski [absurefire@aol.com]
Clues to the Newsletter cover contest have been revealed on the Executive Office homepage at http://www.kawolski.com. So far, nobody has figured out the puzzle. The IS-GR can still be yours!
