SOVEREIGN AND FLEET NEWS AND NOTES
-- Imperial Storm V preparations have resumed. No word in past two weeks on when something is going to happen, however.
-- LT Brukhar wins Viper's Sovereign Fiction and Flying Contest and therefore claims an Iron Star-Gold Wings. Congratulations to Brukhar!.
-- Ship comp being run by CM Arlins:
"Fellow CMDRS and Pilots of the Sovereign
There is a IS-GR (quite rare) and a IS-SR up for the taking and all you have to do is
come up with a new name for Alpha (inc motto's) and its squads
the response so far has been good so get the old grey matter out of the alcoholic jacuzzi
that they usually marinate in and be creative.
This will run untill the end of July where all the pilots in Alpha will vote on their favourates
the winner being the one with the most votes, the runner up will get a IS-SR
Good Luck to you all and I look forward to reading your submissions
Arlins
all submissions to be sent to me at sashakarl@aol.com
PS could the CMDRS forward this to all their pilots as not all receive from this group
Thank you
Arlins"

PILOT TRANSFER POLICY, THE LATEST UPDATE BY THE FO
Transfers of pilots between squadrons or to and from the Reserves are traditionally a bit of a headache for all concerned. While it may be convenient for the pilot to simply email the Flight Officer direct with the transfer request, it is far from convenient for the Flight Officer to find out the names and email addresses of every officer who needs to know about the transfer for you. And since the Flight Officer has a daily email load of anything up to 70 emails while the average pilot is lucky to get 10, the following procedure will be adopted where a request for a transfer is being considered:
A pilot wishing to transfer should request the transfer first from their own Commander. This allows the Commander time to find out the reasons why the transfer is being requested. If there is a problem in the Squadron, now is the time to correct the problem.
The pilot should then find out the email addresses of the Commander, Wing Commander, COM and BGCOM of the Wing to which he or she wishes to transfer. If you can't be bothered to do this much, you're obviously not ready for the level of commitment that a transfer to a new Squadron involves and your transfer request will be denied immediately.
The pilot should now send a transfer request to their Commander, cc'ing ALL Superior Officers involved (CMDR+) on both sides.
The Commander of the Squadron to which you are transferring should reply to all addressees on the transfer request.
Once all superior officers have given approval, the BGCOM of the ship you are transferring to will submit the request to the Flight Officer. Only the BGCOM or his designee will send in the request. The Flight Officer should not get a request from anyone other than the BGCOM's.
***Exceptions to this will be pilots coming back to the fleet from the RSV's or from Elite CMDRS. In this case they may directly contact the Flight Officer. (Elite's must still follow the proscribed transfer policies when recruiting a pilot!)
The Flight Officer should be the last person to hear about a request for a transfer, not the first. By the time it gets to the Flight Office, the request should be ready for approval. Any requests that reach the Flight Office without having first been to all relevant commanding officers will be rejected immediately, and the person sending the mail will be invited to read Fleet Standing Orders.

A-WC ORDERS OF THE WEEK
"Hehehe...cackle..err um sorry about that
Okay first task as Acting WC , day trip to tatooine to drink in the
most notorious cantina's soaking up the ambience and as much
random alcohol as possible followed by a Jawa shoot and
"harrass the peasants Comp" in the late afternoon we have a bantha
BBQ followed by Twi-lek dancing girls
its a dirty job but someone's gotta do it!" -CM Arlins
CANTINA COMMENTS
"!!!
A CMDR application to Stele mentioning Mongolian Sheep? Is that a sort of bribery? Ack, this is getting sick even for Wing II standards. :P " -LC Tempest, suspiciously eyeing at Ninj :P
"lol..who is wicked enough to mention a mongolian sheep in a CMDR app.??..oh wait, that was me :D
no I`m not into those things with animals - just take it in a funny way
+read along citizen, there is nothing to laugh about+ " -CPT Zeth
"Welcome back, Chris! :) Did you steal us a canoe?" -COL Inkwolf
"Steal? Inky, Imperials do NOT steal.
I conquered that canoe. :p " -Doctor Chris
"" Ummm Well.. you see sir, They had this.. well *really* big blaster rifle. And we uhh had no shields... yeah. I mean, we're the BG right? So we thought that we are such badasses that we didn't need shields on our Tie Guardians because it's just the Sov pilots.. and we all know how they.. umm yeah. But it was weird! They were all wearing thier red flight suits but they moved around by belching after they drink all that beer! It's not fair!! They had blaster cannons and really big sling shots!! WE QUIT! The BG will never playing in an ImpStorm game again!!"
>:P " -AD Joe
"Ah, of course. Make sure the rebels don't liberate it on you, now!
Hmmm, where do we test this thing out? Are the flood-the-wing controls still in place from Kramer's pet arowana?" -COL Inkwolf
"We had better keep Joe's Doomsday-class CRV out of the game, then. They'd probably class that with 90% of the firepower of the Sovereign, just to spite us. :p " -GN Brian
"Argon, I think that you need a new eye implant ........... or just a new pair of glasses. ;-)
I can't believe that you missed this opportunity for free drinks, are you getting old and senile? Hmm, maybe we should give you an old cane and a wheelchair and ship you to the old guys in Omega. ;-) " -CPT "I actually reads the stuff my WC sends out" Roger
"Hmmm, might have sent it out last week when I didn't check it from Monday to Friday... =P As for the Omega thing, they may be old geezers with canes, but they're old geezers with canes who can fly quite well or a lot. I can do the first, but it'll take a bit to get the second ;) " -LC Argon
"Hey I posted when both arrived offering booze and ladies of negotiable affection. just ask em!! " -CM Arlins Scabo
"Hey if you wan't booze or ladies of negotiable affection, i can sort you out. Quality ones too, with huge bajungas and strong beer!" -LT Doss Riggle
"It's the return of the famous Kappa Resluts! w00t!
Typo or purpose, that's the question. :P " -LC Tempest
"you're not.....
"Conkey, Conkey, Conkey.
There's a slight disadvantage to punching people, ya see. First you have to walk up to them. That gives them time to do clever stuff like this!
*shoots Conker with the stun setting on his blaster, then runs like hell* " -LT Rez "Run, Run, Or You'll Be Well Done" Chaser
"Do you really think I should recruite my granny, one's 83 and is scared of the toaster, the other has had a major stroke. Actual that might be ok, it's sort of instant evasive action as she shakes all over the place." -LT Doss Riggle
"Geez, if I've told you once I've told you a thousand times. DON'T SPAM THE MAILING LIST! That's my job.
Anyway, nice to see not everyone's throat has been ripped out." -CM Hobbie
"Btw, your socklings are doing fine, I filled one of your boots with beer to let it get that special flavor they like, they absorbed it like they had not seen a good drink in months. ;-) " -CPT "Never thought I'd feed Free's socklings" Roger
"We want to see you in #airlock54. From there you'll be directed to my medlab. Of course i can perform operation on the bar table in airlock, but it can result in infection... Oww, sorry, it can't. FMC medical spirit kills
everything smaller than elephant :P " -LCM "Mad Doc" Granite
"Are you saying that there is a pilot who still has a colon!? Bring him here!
*Takes up the SSSD Toothbrush once more* " -Doctor Chris

"
"WHat is the channel for colon removal?" -LT PeeWee
"#airlock54
Come to where no colon is. :P " -LC Tempest
"If he'll come there will be one ;]
But not for long" -LCM "Assistant of Mad Doc Granite" Shinobi a.k.a. Igor
"I'm sad to see that none have submited for this comp, now I'll have to send that IS to be melted down." -CPT Roger
"Welcome aboard, Hunter - if there's anything we can do to make your stay as fun as possible, let us know :)
Allow me to provide an example.
*Punches Conker in the face* " -CM Brin "Service with a Smite" Chaser
"OW! HEY!...
"Oh Dear, Oh dear.
that's right everyone, it's gone from crossdressing and thong wearing, to the absolute geekness of building a cockpit. If someone can do me the honor of actually shooting him before I get my hands on him....
Stele Stele Stele
*shakes his head* " -COL Jon
"Very, very cool, Steele...in a geeky kind of way. But, hey, this is Geek Central! :P (Inky wishes she had a cockpit....) " -COL Inkwolf
"I’ll shoot him myself… cockpit schoshpit…
Damn it… get SOMETHING TO DO WITH YOUR LIVES… hehe… actually, I find it kind of cool…" -LCM Fett
"GET A DAMN CUSHION, or you'll have to Start Calling yourself General Steel Ass...
Cool desing though, although you should have painted it black... you know, to look more convincing... Oh, and don’t go getting an ejection seat for it..." -LCM Fett
"
Blackwood
"You need your colon removed, or someone's colon removed, or any organ of any person removed?
Mad Doc Granite is at your disposal Admiral.
I will make any operation unforgottable experience in your entire life, maybe last unforgottable experience in your life :P
My patients get free FMC methylated spirit during convalescence." -LCM "Wing II Mad Doc" Granite
"Some scumbags smashed out the back window of my '68 Mustang once ... how I would *still* like to find out who did it ..." -AD Proton
"
"Haha - the involuntary convertible club, I'm there! ;-) " -CM Brin Chaser
"Motor Thieves are the lowest form of Toe Jam on the planet and deserve something horrible...think Ebola or Anthrax (i carry a vile of anthrax....for duck hunting)" -CM Arlins Scabo

"YEAH, party, in Wing II cantina...
