RA Justin reporting,
Vanguard Report #5

Ship News/COM talk:
Mantis CMDR--- HAS BEEN CHOSEN! Congrats to CM Ibram on his new possition and promotion to CMDRness!
Not too much activity. Plenty of comps for everyone. Squad comps, wing comps, and a new ASF wide comp just got sent out today: http://www.ehtiecorps.org/competitions/details.asp?ID=1635
For the other comps, check out your CMDR's report or Airyu's Report, and be sure to read the grudge match! Airyu deserves a MoH for the GFX at the top too :P I love it :P
The ship/wing is in need of a new website. if you think you have the skillz to make a good website, make one! :P For ideas, see the current-but-not-so-current site or toher ship sights on the ASF. There will be good rewards and maybe even a platinum member credit card for the cantina..... maybe :P (yes, same paragraph as last week and the week before.... :P)
We are still the largest ISD/wing in the fleet, but not by much...
Our current numbers are:
-2 Flags
-6+6+7+8+10+7.... *gets out calculator* .....44
-Total: 46
How can I forget these?:
*Come on to the wing's channel at #isdvanguard . TC meetings are on Sundays at 4pm EST in #tiecorps. See the Communications section for other mIRC channels and the MBs.

*Send submissions to Khadgar for the Aggressor, there can be rewards- everybody likes rewards!

Update: Since some people are having problems downloading the mod from the BO site, Gilad has kindly set up a mirror: www.isdgreywolf.net/Freeworlds-1-65[1].zip.flmod

Online battle/mission submission form

With minos being down, you can always still get your patches and files at the Science Office Mirror. It does not include the Fleet Manual and other such content - but it does include all the downloads.

Freeworlds 1.65

The next Freeworlds version, 1.65, is due to be released within a week, if not sooner. This new version is hugely improved over the current mod, bringing 8 new systems (including Bastion, Kuat, Kessel, Calamari) and over 20 new fighters and transports, such as the TIE Cyclone, Marauder Corvette and Gallofree Transport. In addition to these, trade routes have been overhauled to give Traders new ways of earning cash. Fighter pilots have not been forgotten either, with the mission system receiving a very welcome revamp (including the addition of the infamous $1,000,000 Missions - watch out for the Dreadnoughts). The EH has had it's new 1.65 ship list finally approved and I'm very pleased to be able to present it here:
