COM Chatter
-Well things have picked up a little around the old ship lately. We have lost a few good officers to RL issues but many veterans have stepped back into the fray to fill the gaps and keep us afloat.

-I will be on leave starting Monday and will return on Friday.
Cmdrs should send all BSF's during my leave to Major Jer Stryker who will be looking after things in my stead.


Ship News
- Congratulations to the newly promoted members of the ship:
Major Gustan
Captain Draiff Stryker
LCM Carcharoth
I appreciate your hard work. Keep up the fine jobs you are doing.

-A personal welcome back goes to my old COM VA Sickman. You may be a Colonel now but youll always be that old senile drunk COM to me. Drinks are definitely on you my friend.

-If anybody doesnt know, most of our communications and all meetings are held through IRC.  If you dont know about this program do contact me for instructions. 

-As most have noticed our Wing Commander, Major Praetorian, hasnt been around much lately.  He is busy with his military career but vows he will be back hopefully soon.  All things that need processing should be sent to me and ill take care of it for you.

-A thank you to our current group of commanders. I appreciate everything you have done as we begin work on the old Van. She needs some paint and a whole lot of new crewmembers so lets get to recruiting asap. Dont forget your reports are due on my desk by Friday Nights unless you let me know why it will be late.



ASF News
-The ASF has a couple of squadrons still competing in the SSL.  A big congrats to Krayt Squadron of the Intepid who is sitting in 5th place overall currently and hopefully can pull out a victory for the ASF.

-XWA Wow is on.  I encourage everyone to go fly a match or two and represent the ASF!
 


Tie Corps
Combat Operations Office Medals
02:35 - VA Khadgar [khadgar1@shaw.ca]
AD Sarin is currently on leave. Therefore, all flag officers submitting missing Legion of Combat or Distinguished Flying Cross awards may submit them to me at khadgar1@shaw.ca. I will also do my best to answer any questions or concerns relating to the Combat Operations Office

New battles and missions
14:38 - FA Marcin Szydlowski [tac@emperorshammer.org]
Once again we started to release battles. First is small package containing the following:
XW-CAB #1
XW-FCHG #1
SWGB-DIR #1 More will follow, but you must understand I have to find balance between FCHG restoration, new battles and HSs processing :)

[Reminder] The EHSPs back up all important game files.
05:29 - AD Ender mBind [mindb_ender@hotmail.com]
The Emperor's Hammer Ship Patches for TIE, XvT and BoP make a full backup of all important files in those games upon installation. This means that you can use it to restore your game installation might you have screwed that up in some way: After you've newly installed TIE, XvT or BoP and installed any needed update patches (like 1.14 for XvT) install EHSP into a permanent folder ([Game folder]/EHPatch for example.) and keep it installed.
To restore your fresh install of the game: uninstall EHSP, reinstall it, and its all fine again... which saves you having to reinstall the game from CD again.

New ISD Subjugator Command Staff Chosen
06:07 - FA Cyric [jroscoe@comcast.net]
The new Commodore of the ISD Subjugator has been chosen. Please congrat RA TK-7764 !

This left the position of Wing XX Wing Commander open. Here as new wing Commander MAJ Archangel has been appointed.

Both Officers have have done a great work so far and I wish them all the best in their new positions !

Missing Medals
17:41 - AD Alex Foley [ops@emperorshammer.org]
I realize there are probably about 1000 medals missing because of the database loss. The good news is that a couple of smart COMs already re-submitted these medals today, so we're on our way to getting these medals back. COMs/WCs: One of you from each wing is to re-submit the lost medals back into the database. It is up to you how you want to do this (compile them from CMDRs, automated e-mails, etc.), as long as you don't submit the old medals more than once and cause some backlog problems. It is also up to you whether or not you wish to include the old recommendation, but make sure to put as the last line "Due to Database Loss", so I'll be able to tell new medals from old ones. Thanks for the cooperation, and hopefully we'll be able to work through this quickly.

Also, for those of you who have been personally e-mailing me with your lost medals, unless it's a rare case where it's a Command Staffer or BGCOM, these mailings should go to your CMDR and on to the COM so they can be resubmitted into the database. This is the easiest and most efficient way.

Thanks a bunch


Medals
All missing medals that have been submitted to me have been requested. Some have been restored and we are still looking for others. Be patient as OPS Foley has a full plate restoring the entire fleets goodies.
