Fleet News:

Wing XIII
06:13 - HA Priyum Patel [spellfire@btinternet.com]
Congratulations go out to Major Gilad Pelleaeon who has been selected as the new XIII Wing Commander onboard the Grey Wolf.

Vampire Commander Honoured
11:08 - HA Priyum Patel [spellfire@btinternet.com]
I would like to take this opportunity to draw attention to the Squadron Commander of Vampire Squadron, Major VinDoros. Over the past several months, the Major has been hard at work on a BGs project called Top Gun. This required a great deal of effort and commitment on his part. In addition to this, he not only kept up with his regular CMDR duties to a high standard, but also lead his Squadron to the finals of the XWA section of the SSL. All of this is above the call of duty and with the recommendation of BGCOM/AD Krax Tarnisar, Major VinDoros is hereby awarded with the Gold Star of the Empire. Congratulations!

Operations Officer Resigns
11:11 - HA Priyum Patel [spellfire@btinternet.com]
The OPS, Admiral Khaine, has unfortunately decided to resign from his position.

Commedations of Loyalty will be still be awarded, so continue to submit your recommendations. Remember that the deadline is August 19th.

Imperial Concourse for XWA!
20:27 - AD Ender mBind [mindb_ender@hotmail.com]
I've just released the first version of a patch that should eventually change XWA into an Imperial game. This first version includes:

Imperial Concourse
Imperial Cursor
Emperor's Hammer Ranks
Emperor's Hammer Room Names
You can get the patch at http://www.minos.net/~sco/files/xwa/IMP-XWA.zip (installation in the same fashion as our craft patches). A screenshot can be viewed here

War Office Moves
02:28 - HA Priyum Patel [spellfire@btinternet.com]
The War Office has moved it's location to http://waroffice.minos.net. On this site you'll find all the information you need on wargaming in the TIE Corps and what you need for your own games.

SquadFirst+
04:25 - HA Ari [ari@tiecorps.org]
SquadFirst revolutionized the way CMDRs produced their websites. Since its conception over 25 squadrons had chosen to use a SquadFirst site. But, we weren't satisfied with just making a squadron management script. So, we began to make a website management script for wings, then for ships, and for battlegroups. But, why stop there? Soon enough support was added for the Infiltrator Wing, the Dark Brotherhood, and the Hammer's Fist.

The end result is SquadFirst+, one of the most ambitious projects ever created by the Internet Office. For the past month, MAJ Alex Foley has been developing the next generation of management scripts. And today, it makes me very proud to announce that SquadFirst+ v2.0.0 has been released. 6976 lines of code. Over 100 man hours of work. It's the upgrade that a project like SquadFirst deserved.

Also included with SquadFirst+ are 4 new themes. A new theming system within SF+ makes it much easier to make your own theme, having to know practically no PHP whatsoever. The new themes featured are AT-AT for the Hammer's Fist (by Alex Foley), Emperor's Hammer: Classic Scenes, the new default theme for SF+ (by Alex Foley), Stonesaber, a great new Dark Brotherhood theme (by MAJ Xander Drax), and TIE Phantom, a holonet-looking new theme for the TIE Corps (by MAJ Xander Drax and FA Leeson).

With SquadFirst+ comes a new SquadFirst website located still at http://squadfirst.minos.net. Besides a new design, the new site also hosts The Registry, which houses a master list of all SquadFirst+ sites. Gain inspiration, find custom themes, check out custom code; whatever the end result, The Registry will extend SquadFirst+ into a community of developers. We hope you enjoy SquadFirst+!

On a side note, SquadFirst+'s release means that there should be no TC unit without a site, as per the TC Internet Guidelines. Unit leaders (CMDRs, WCs, BGCOMs, etc.) who do not comply will be recommended to the FO for removal.

Flag Changes
13:59 - HA Priyum Patel [spellfire@btinternet.com]
VA Khadgar has decided to step down as COM of the ISD Grey Wolf. The Flight Office thanks him for the work he did as a Flag for his Ship and the TIE Corps. A replacement has already been selected: Congratulations go out to Vice Admiral Sarin who takes over command of the Grey Wolf for a second time!

I'm also pleased to be able to announce that the new Wing Commander of Wing XIX has been selected and approved. Congratulations go out to Major Xander Drax!
