Hey Hey! Time for another Hey Squadron report. Been kinda a quiet week.
We do have some news to cover though, so let's do it!
SQUADRON NEWS
-------------
The competition against Praetorian Squadron started on Wednesday. You have
until the 12th to get your pilot files for XWA-TC #25 to me. Everyone fly
if possible, I'd like to see us stomp an Elite squadron!
I've decided to assign XWA-TC #17 "Secrets & Lies: The Exile" for the Hey
Squadron Top Ace battle for this month. You all have until February 28th to
get your pilot files to me.
I recieved an inquiry from one of Delta Squadron's Flight Leaders about
another competition with them. We beat 'em last time, so what say we do it
again? Everyone e-mail back if y'all want to go with Delta again. The
rematch won't be going until after the Sov wargame is over though, so we
have some time.
I'm still working on the squadron webpage. I got kinda annoyed with
something I'd done to it and trashed the whole project, now I'm restarting
it. I've got a little bit done on it, but not much. I'll keep you posted.

Tactical Office Regulation #1
04:33 - AD Marcin Szydlowski [pbmike@go2.pl]
Due to recent problems and complaints on our battle I've decided to order as
follows:
Destruction of EH ships listen in Fleet Manual is forbidden (unless FCHG or
CAB)
All EH vs EH battles are forbidden, unless some conditions met.
FCHG/CAB battles, when we loose IW ship, must be approved by IWTAC, DB ship
by SHW, and so on.
You can find more details here. This does not affect battles already
released and those in beta queue.

Sovereign Squadron League
10:16 - AD Proton [Hullbreach@warpmail.net]
The big announcement from the flagship this week is that the SSSD Sovereign
League 2003 will begin March 15! That's right -- one of the best
competitions in the history of the Emperor's Hammer is being reborn. And
this time it will not only include the usual TIE competition, but we're
introducing XWA and XvT single-player divisions too! I have appointed LC
Todbringer, a longtime Sovereign pilot and veteran of the previous Sovereign
League seasons, to head up the competition. He will be assisted by MAJ
Artys, another top veteran, and perhaps other pilots. They will handle the
day-to-day operations and record keeping, and I will be on hand throughout
to assist them and help resolve any problems or disputes. As in its previous
incarnations, the Sovereign League will run through a regular season, with
squadrons fighting for post-season playoff positions. Each round will last
two weeks, with pilots flying assigned free missions. The surviving playoff
teams will fly full battles in several rounds of elimination. The winning
squadrons will receive many honors, and the winners of the individual
top-gun contests will receive medals and much recognition. I'm also excited
to announce that the Sovereign League will be open to all squadrons in the
TIE Corps! The squadrons of the flagship will be proud to host fellow
squadrons from throughout the corps that also desire to participate. Watch
for the SSSD Sovereign League 2003 "Season Primer" memorandum within the
next week or two. In the meantime, you all know what to do: Get ready to fly
your flightsuits off!! :)
Colossus Commodore Appointed
10:10 - FA Priyum Patel [spellfire@btinternet.com]
Congratulations to General Indaro who has been promoted to Rear Admiral and
Commodore of the ISD Colossus.

Modified Strike Cruiser for XWA released
17:33 - AD Ender mBind [mindb_ender@hotmail.com]
The Science Office has released a patch to add the Modified Strike Cruiser
(M/SC, the "Rebel Interdictor") to X-Wing Alliance. The OPT was made by CM
Tim, patch by myself and AD Darkhill.
You can download the patch from the IW section in the Patch Archive at the
Science Office Website. (oh.. and thanks DS for testing;P)
New Battlestats Hosted Comps held in the Zone!
10:51 - VA Kyle Katarn [Kyle.Katarn@isdcolossus.com]
For those in our battlegroups who would like additional training in WoW
atmosphere, LC Dax Corrin and I have entered us in 4 new WoW events that
Battlestats.com is offering.
1: XWA Week of War XLVI and XvT Week of War LVI. You know all the rules.
2: Cloakshape Calamity: This is an XWA based war where only Cloakshape
fighters will be allowed, all other matches will be deleted. EH members WILL
be allowed to fly against each other. This will give us an opportunity to
fly something other than the typical T/I matches we currently predominately
use. Also, more opportunities to earn LoCs and DFCs. Please get the word out
to all who own XWA for this one. War dates are this Friday, February 7th
till Friday, February 14th.
3: Firespray Fetish: This is basically the same as the above, with Firespray
craft the only allowed craft, all other matches will be deleted. Same rules
apply, players from the same club WILL be allowed to fly each other. Dates
for this event are February 14th-21st.
4: For our XvT pilots, the Assault Gunboat Galore II starts this Friday.
Dates for war are Feb 7-14th, same rules as XWA cloakshape and Firespray
wars. EH members are allowed to fly each other. Only Assault gunboat matches
are allowed, all other matches will be deleted.
I hope this gives our membership an additional opportunity to hone their MP
skills so we may improve for the 2 main WoW events.
