RA Justin reporting
Vanguard Report #1
Ship News/COM talk:
I have been promoted to RA and made COM of the Vanguard! With me stepping up in the ladder of doom, MAJ Airyu has taken my place as WC of Wing XV. Airyu and I have already been planning Flag-like things, as you have seen in his report. Should be tons of fun, and Ill actually have to dust off my joystick :P
With Airyu being promoted to WC, Yutzka was made the new Echo CMDR, but has resigned and and will soon enter the RSVs. If you are interested in becoming a CMDR and starting your carear (or resuming one :P) in the TC, send me and Airyu an email with stuff in it that makes you look good :P
September MSE/MWE medals have been submitted now that I have COM access. Congrats to Airyu on his BS and to Paco, kaiser Dux, Zoron, and Frodo on their ISMs and to Jer and Frankie on their PCs.
We are still the largest ship in the fleet! Our current numbers are:
-2 Flags
-5+9+8+8+10+7.... *gets out calculator* .....47
-Total: 49
-Read Airyu's report for a laugh :P
How can I forget these?:
*Come on to the wing's channel at #isdvanguard . TC meetings are on Sundays at 4pm EST in #tiecorps. MP is in #ehcoc.
*Send submissions to Khadgar for the Aggressor, there can be rewards- everybody likes rewards!
Airyu sent out 2 reports this week, but only priviliged us with 1 grudge match. Yes, I am sad :P But he did make a cool pic of the Van on a van :P

Magazine mention for the TIE Corps
The Australian gaming magazine, Hyper, recently ran a fairly comprehensive article on the history of Star Wars games. We get a mention as a fansite. COL Torres scanned the article pages and they're up here. Take note that some of the images are over 200k. The mention of the TIE Corps is on the 4th page.
Wing XVI WC Appointed
Many congratulations to Lieutenant Colonel Keller who has been selected as the new Wing Commander for Wing XVI!
In other news, I'm still looking for a new Tiger Squadron Commander. The Squadron flies the TIE Bomber, so if you're an active Freeworlds pilot looking for a command and enjoy dropping torps on hapless Rebels, let me know (spellfire@btinternet.com)!
Windows XP SP2 and You.
As usual the Microsoft data on their new "SP2" only elaborates on what it can do more now, and not on what it will fail at now.
As it looks now, SP2 will not run a utility called "TIEPATCH.EXE", something which we use in all patches, also not when you use the XPInstaller.
We will be replacing this utility ASAP but for the time being: if you want to play missions that use patches do not install XP SP2.
Note: Uninstalling SP2 doesn't work, it will just remain on your system and pretend its not there.
IO Open For Applications --read the TC page for details :P
Retirements
It is with heavy heart that I announce the retirements of two of the TC's longest standing members. AD Proton, SOVCOM has asked to be retired to the reserves once a replacement is found. AD Proton has served as the SOVCOM for over two years, and wishes to turn the ship over to younger blood.
AD Mell Kerrigan has also asked to retire to the reserves after completing a few more duties. Mell has been a huge influence on many TC and EH policies as well as a thorn in the sides of many a CO :)
I WILL NOT BE ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS FOR THESE POSITIONS.
SSL Results! --- See the TC page for list of winners, congrats to all!
QotW:
* LCJustin is now known as RAJustin
Last words:
Well, thats all for this weeks report. I will have a nice setup for next weeks, it will be cooler than a polar bear's toenails. Ok, sorry... that was dumb :P
Also, the ship/wing is in need of a new website! The creator will recieve a nice shiney medal or something shiney atleast :P remember, minos has free hosting. There are also a lot more comps out there, see Airyu's report for them. He has a nice ordered list, something i could never comprehend :P
Remember, pilots, an informed commander is a happy commander! or somethign to that effect :P If you will be busy for a while, just send them a quick email so they know. Also, be sure to send them all your activity, even IRC presence, incase they didnt see you. hmmm, I havent been on IRC in a while, ill go now :P
