Ship News
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Imperial Storm V: Battle Alert: The Avenger Task Force is to engage the Sovereign Battlegroup in combat at the planet Korriban. We are facing their entire fleet which consists of 2 Imperial Star Destroyers, 2 DREADs, 1 CRCK, 4 T/A squads, 4 T/B squads and 2 T/F squads. They'll be going up against our fleet of VSD, ESC, A/FRG, GSP, 6 T/D squads, 1 T/A squad, 6 ATRs, and 1 E/S.
The date of the multiplayer match will be Wednesday June 8th, 5pm EST in #isd_predator. The TIE and XvT missions are being created and will be given to both sides within a day. The more pilots we get to fly these singleplayer missions, the better chance we have of saving ships in the multiplayer engagement.
I need XWA pilots who can fly for the multiplayer engagement.

Admiral Proton is back!: Good old Proton is back, can you believe it!? For the newer pilots who don't know who he is, he was the previous Sovereign Commodore before I came in. He left a legendary mark on the Sovereign as well as very dirty quarters! Welcome back Proton. Glad you're back in the fleet serving the fleet.
Oh yeah, he's the Flight Officer's Command Attache. So reports will be going to him now.
Behavioral Notes to all Personnel: Just a quick note. Do not edit pilot files or mission files. This is considered cheating and you will more than likely be caught. There was one incident of cheating on the ship and an automatic demotion to sub-lieutenant occurred as well as stripping away of all FCHG and high scores. I hate to see that happen, just don't cheat please.
Also, please do not skip any missions. This isn't considered cheating but it is preferred that you not skip missions in a battle. If there's a bug issue please contact TAC or your CMDR.
Off Topic: Thought I'd mention this to the ship. I have finally graduated from college! Yeah, it took me about ...... 7 years!!! Anyways, I got it finally and I'm happy. I'll be walking this next saturday. What a joy! So you can all drop off graduation gifts at the bridge. And for those of you who have quarters at the hangar....thats nearly a 9km walk back to the bridge =P

-site is being stubborn today..
Battle Citations
-Just a note about Battle Citations, there are a ton of squadrons on the ship that just takes one pilot to fly a battle to boost their collection of battle citations.
-Gyssler's site shows what battles need to be flown to achieve a battle citation.

Yeah, it figures...I think he tries to compensate for something with all
those weapons :-D

Gotta love the midwest! We have the humidity, but at night its a nice cool 70 degrees when I'm riding around dispensing "justice" >:P
FA Joe
Thanks buddy...if they don't take me, I'll just bomb the FO office. :P
GN Turr
Woops! I fried the board. Oh well. Note to self: When
attempting to bypass security measures, do NOT use
your lightsabre.
Talons
Oops. Thanks Stele! Sorry for the mix-up...it's probably the withdrawal from the smoking! It's affecting my brain! :P
Turr
That would be a good advise :)
We are ready for your spam... We have spam of our own to send back :)
CM Firzam Coldsteel
Brin has had the swelling in his ribs increase and so he can't type.
He's asked I send this email to everyone to tell you all he's okay and
hasn't forgotten about you. He brusing should go in the next few days.
He has also asked his Commanders (what kind of club is this?) to be
wary about the 'SP ladder' submissions - apparently some of the files
need to be processed as soon as you can get them done so that they can
be included in an Iron Creator competition.
So, apparently my son is part of a internet pretend-military
organisation. I might have to spend more time reading his email!

A word on the TIE mission...A major pain in the ass. Tried it several times
to no avail. C'mon, if the FC is around, you'd at least expect some T/A's or
maybe T/D's and MIS's. But no: one squadron of unshielded T/I's with no
missiles. And another one of T/B's. Wow, EH must really be low on
resources...
----LC Yoman
Eat SIN COOKIES*
Feel GOOD about being BAD!
---Mickk Emrys
...this has got to be one of the most annoying mission I've flown during my
time in the TC. Or maybe I just hate flying unshielded TIE's.
'Compy don't fly no unshielded TIE.'
---Compton
darn!!! how could you beat me on XWA???
I demand a revenge!!!
---LC Zeth
LOL, good show though.
Yeah, you want revenge, eh?
We'll have to dub July's SP Ladder as "Revenge of the Zeth"
--- VA Stele Pellaeon
Get to your fighters! Get to your fighters!
Sounds like we're going to be fighting a nasty battle here, good thing
we've got sharper knives...
