Vice Admiral Frodo March reporting for the ISD-II Intrepid on 04/11/04 #42
 

Commodore’s Opening Words
 
Welcome the the 42nd edition of the ISD Intrepid weekly ship report....EASTER EDITION!!!! No...I won't have pink & Yellow letters or do something funky like at Christmas...that was hard work :P  So lets all remember what Easter Commemorates...the birth of Santa!
 
This week had a few major changes...namely, we lost our Copperhead Commander, MAJ Jedi Eclipse was promoted to the Rank of Rear Admiral, given a roomy M-FRG and named as MO (King of the FMC) so he's left us for good...sadly...He shall be missed.
 
This means that I am taking applications for Copperhead CMDR...the only real requirement is having passed SM/3 and you must have the will to command and make Copperhead a better place...Write up good apps...put some thought into it please.
 
Speaking of apps, send them to me & Gidda, because yesterday, Gidda announced that his computer is now fixed and he should be back momentarily! So I expect Gidda any second now so we can start the GN Gidda Experience!! :P
 
Another Large change to the fleet...the big guys up top decided to merge Wings III & IV into wing VII on the Sovereign and they decided to close the Immortal and distribute its pilots across the TCBGs...What does this do to us?...We have less wings to beat now...
 
Speaking of beating wings...our numbers have dropped to 38 with the departure of MAJ...errr...RA Jedi...so now we really need pilots, I want to break 40 ladies and Gentlemen...Go recruit, some of you are doing the effort but alot of you aren't, I suggest you get to work asap.
 
Oh, and the competitions started today! Remember, for the "Beat the COM at XvT SP" the mission to fly is XvT Free 154 and the score to beat is: 31,987 ...have fun and get them to me by next sunday! Oh and two other comps started, the FCHG/CR race, and the graphics comp!! GET TO IT! And see competitions section at the end of the report for more details.
 

Emperor’s Hammer/Tie Corps News
 
XWA Skirmish War
08:21 - VA Khameir Sarin [khameir_sarin@yahoo.com]
The Combat Operations Office is going to launch a Bgroup vs Bgroup XWA Skimish War this week. This competition will take place in the form of 2v2 XWA Skirmish MP competition. The first round will use the battles that can be downloaded at The Combat Operations Office Website. Team members can only fly on one team and that team must be made up of pilots from the same Battle Group. I will be accepting teams until Wednesday of this week. Email me with your team now!
Plotlines compendium v1.0a goes online
01:32 - FA Marcin Szydlowski [tac@emperorshammer.org]
I have did a basic coding so we have compendium online. Go and see it here
    
Plotlines compendium
08:15 - FA Marcin Szydlowski [tac@emperorshammer.org]
Emperor's Hammer Tactical Office is pleased to announce, the opening of the Tactical Office Plotlines Compendium.
How this works? Well, simple. First you need an idea. Then you go and check this link there's a template there. Fill it and submit to me as "Plotline submission". Don't forget to include you PIN.
And then? Well. I will add it to plotlines compendium, so any mission creator will be able to request it and build a battle. So if you've always dreamed about your own battle, had an idea, but didn't have enough skills, here's a chance for you. And of course, you will get medals for your work. Standard Tactical awarding system. (ISM-15... SS-75 or SG medals for SG people). But remember. Quality. Start submitting crap and you will never get a single medal.
 
 
New IWATS Courses
07:04 - FA Keldorn Cochrane [keldorn@btopenworld.com]
The Training Office has released four new IWATS courses for your general enjoyment...
Dreamweaver
This course is designed to give you a basic introduction in the use of Macromedia Dreamweaver in web publishing.
http://to.minos.net/dw/
Weaponry
This is one of the first fictional courses brought to you by Imperial Weapons and Tactics School. It was designed to widen your knowledge about personal weapons used in Star Wars universe.
http://to.minos.net/weaponry/
Cascading Style Sheets
This course is designed to introduce EH members to CSS and its possibilities.
http://to.minos.net/css/
mIRC Scripting
This course is designed to teach you how to do a little bit of scripting in mIRC. Scripts in mIRC can do anything from the basics like setting an away message or changing your nick, to the much more advanced, such as a script to retrieve an IDline. The possibilities are virtually limitless.
http://to.minos.net/ircscript/
I would also like to renew the call for new IWATS Courses. As you can see, courses may cover any topic (from fiction-based to computer programming). Anyone with ideas is welcome to send a message to me at Keldorn@btopenworld.com.

Newsletter 103 is now out. You can get it online at http://logistics.lusankya.org/nl/nl-103/ or as a zip from http://logistics.lusankya.org/nl/zip/hammer103.zip
    
New battles and missions
06:35 - FA Marcin Szydlowski [tac@emperorshammer.org]
This time something for XvT players:
XvT-TC #90-92
XvT-FREE #163
Enjoy :)
 
Wing Closings
06:41 - FA Cyric [jroscoe@comcast.net]
It is with heavy heart that I must announce three wing Closings and one ISD Closing in the Tie Corps.
Wings III and IV have been closed and merged into newly opened Wing VII on the SSSD SOVEREIGN
Wing XI has been Closed as has the ISD Immortal.
Members have been relocated throughout the TIECORPS Battlegroup as follows:
Vampire Squadron to Eta Squadron
Ghost Squadron to Typhoon Squadron
Phantopm Squadron to Tornado Squadron
Demon Squadron to Dagger Squadron
I feel that this is a step in the right direction to solidify our pilot base, reorganize our structure and take steps to becoming a stronger force.
This will leave all BattleGroups with Three Wings each.
Good luck to all the pilots who have been relocated!

Hints and Tips from the Short Commodore!
 
Easter is just another excuse to eat chocolate in my underwear...like Haloween.
 
The Easter bunny is a very good friend of mine, his name is Melvin, and his favorite things include crapping out chocolate eggs and taking long walks on the beach...
 
Is that really chocolate?...or is it...
 
At this point my primary objective is making my reports more insane then the BGCOM's...I think I'm winning...but I also think that I'm sane so there....
 
The best thing about being senile is that nobody questions your actions...no matter how stupid they may be.
 

Competitions
 
Beat the COM at XvT SP!!:
 
April/May CR/FCHG race:
 
Wittle GFX recruitment comp!:
 
 
Go Create some recruitment Graphics and fly XvT Free 154 for Sunday (its the Beat the COM mission!)
 
 
Finishing words
 
Number 42 is passed and gawn! I think its really time we got our recruiting bone in gear...Its really important that we break 40...cuz then we can be the big ship you kno!? :P  Bah, its a personal goal I guess...but is there a down side to it? I think not, so go do it for your senile COM and recruit a thug or two.
 
Remember to fly XvT Free 154 and beat 31,987 you have until next sunday...thats 7 dayz.
 
Otherwise, happy easter! I hope Melvin the Easter Bunny gave you some special treats!
 
<salute>
