Commodore’s Opening Words
 
Hey everyone! Its time for another big weekly report from the commodore.  We got a bunch of news this week, some of which we're all happy about, others that we aren't too glad...all covered, of course, in the following!
 
First of all, I am going to make a new ship comp...HOPEFULLY, this time it will attract some more participation, I'm sure we'd all like to forget our last little mishap with the battle plotline competition, I'll just blame it on global warming >:/  Anyway, there's a poll going on the ship MB to see if people have the abilities for this comp, so go check it out at: http://theholo.net/mb/viewtopic.php?t=9445&sid=dc61c14075f404c12ec9c3510b713f7f and answer to the poll.  Medals may be the result :P
 
Speaking of comps, we have two big ones going on right now! The Van+Intrepid Vs. Sovereign Competition which requires you to fly TIE TC 211, XWA TC 24 and XvT TC 75, or any one or two of em.  Then there's the Intrepid realistic combat comp, you fly MP with your squadmates against the A.I, highest score wins medals, and stuff.
 
Other then that, today I got the joy of promoting one of our CMDRs, congradulations out to Major CrimsonFury! Another Major well deserved, you guys should start a club :P
 
Yes, and you might all want to vote for the Golden Tug Awards for the best battles and missions and MCs you've seen during 2002...you can vote on the MC MB at: http://theholo.net/mb/viewforum.php?f=42 And follow your heart ;P

TIE Fighter Ship Patch Released!
08:26 - AD Ender mBind [mindb_ender@hotmail.com]
Today saw the release of the "Emperor's Hammer Ship Patch" for TIE fighter '95.
This patch adds the Shipyard, Repairyard, Medium Transport, Communications Relay, Sensor Array, Astromech, Gunplatform, Large Gunplatform, Laser Battery, Super Star Destroyer and Pilot to TIE95. It fixes the bug in TIE Fighter that keeps Imperial Star Destroyers from firing their lasers.
The patch can be installed together with other patches and kept installed permanently as it does not replace any existing Craft.

This patch replaces the earlier "ISD Lasers Patch" for TC flying. Go check it out on the Patch Archive.

Design The XO Site Competition
05:53 - SA Astatine [jpboyce@indigo.net.au]
The current XO site isn't very good and hasn't been updated for a while. By the nature of the office, the XO site should be a nexus for some very important information within the EH. To address this, I'll need a new design, as the current one (at
http://www.emperorshammer.net/xo/) is pretty basic.

The basis of the competition will be to design a "template" for the site, which should include graphics, menu elements, etc. The menu items on the current site can be used as a guide for the template. Everything else is left to your creative whims. Final submissions can either be hosted online, with the URL emailed to me, or the files themselves can be emailed to me. Submissions close on 30th November. The competition is open to all EH members. First place gets an Iron Star Gold Ribbon (or subgroup equivilant). Second and third, if up to scratch, will get a Iron Star Silver Ribbon and Iron Star Bronze Ribbon respectively. Submissions should be sent to xo@emperorshammer.org with the subject of "I have l33t w3b skillz".
