News:
Thanks to the efforts of COL Morgan, LC Ric Taldrya, MAJ Evo Sarnok, and I we've gone from 186 to 205 squadron citations within a weeks time!
This might not seem like a big deal to everyone, but 200 cits has been one of the squadron goals I've been out to achieve for quite a long time now.

The SDIR AS Aseret Thunderhawk has asked everyone in ID (Prae included) to feel free to ask questions about ID in the "reveal your fears" topic:
http://mb.emperorshammer.net/viewtopic.php?t=809&sid=e10721c795fd671fe5ca9a4176638b03

so if you happen to be on the mb and have a real question (not spam), post away;p.

Flight Deck:
I'm going to post notices of bugged battles/missions here so nobody wastes their time attemting to fly the incompletable/impossible;p.
XWA-FCHG4 (mission 4 is bugged)- I've reported this to GN Master.
BoP-ID1 (mission 4 is incompletable)- I've reported this to VA Styles multiple times...
XvT-TC#11... Mission 7 is completable (barely) but still horribly bugged (this just in from MAJ Dolsar Saris a few weeks ago).

Submitted by MAJ Deimos:
XWA Free 25 -> There are not enough points to
match the current high score. I have tried all
difficulty settings, and the best score is only
about half the HS.

XWA Free 26 -> Not only is this mission rather
demanding, but the problem is in the escape buoy:
it is present for only a fraction of a second,
and it doesn't work, meaning the player is stuck
in region #2 and cannot finnish the mission.
I have tried this one on 'hard' only because it
takes a lot of time to finish. I can try playing
it on other settings, but somehow I (GN Master is working on fixing this one).

XWA Free 97 -> There is nothing to do but inspect
the 'exit buoy.' If that mission was supposed to
be a maze, I found myself flying outside of it.
This means the best (and only) score that I can
make is 250 points. I played that one on 'hard'
only.

XWA-TC 33 I've played mission 1 on all difficulty
settings, and there are not enough points to match
the official score. For mission 2 I only tried 'hard',
and there are also not enough points to match the
current high score. At least that old HS is mine.
:-)
Missions 3 and 4 really gave me a lot of trouble.
I knew Kodiak was good multiplay flyer (we flew
together once), but I never figured I would have
that many problems breaking his high scores.

FTIE93 (submitted by MAJ Drak):
i believe that the current highscore as shown on the Database is a result of cheating and ask that an investigation into it be launched.

I flew this on hard i got 93% accuracy with both lasers & ions , 100% with missiles, i killed all 12 B-wings & A-Wings, 2 space objects, got 2 bonus goals, didnt get the final bonus goal which was to let one rebel survive (figured the mon cal cruiser woulda done that but no, i reflew and let one escape and nope that didnt work, reflew again and disabled last one still no bonus goal:/) however according to the readme it says no points are awarded for that bonus goals and i dont see how having all bonus goals would award you with 69612 points

Further more i flew this again a fourth time, this time i flew on medium, my accuracy was shot to hell (approx 50 - 60%) but i got a higher score, what i did different was to blast all freindly craft to kingdom come.

As i understand it killing freindly craft is a nono


I encourage the rest of Prae to participate in this section- send in info on known bugged battles/missions of all platforms.

Orders:
-Monthly flying requirements are in place: It's a mandatory requirement to fly at least one battle or four free missions a month, I will allow you to fly MP matches in place of the missions if you wish (I'm easy to work with usually);p.
-Recruit, our numbers are fairly steady: however, if you know of any exemplary pilots who meet our requirements feel free to let me know about them. Remember our requirements for being accepted to take the Prae trials are the rank of LCM with 400 FCHG; however, for a full status Prae it's still CM with at least 500 FCHG.
http://praetorian.rawx.net/join.php (the only exception to this rule I'm allowing is former Prae's who served more than three months; however, they must still have the min required FCHG of 500). We are elite after all.
-work on improving your own personal FCHG levels- remember we do have a few squadron specific rewards related to this! ;p.

For every 10 squadron citations you earn for Prae I will recommend you for a Imperial Security Medal (ISM).

current citations listings:
COL Malik 27 citations
COL Torres 4/10 citations
MAJ Deimos 1/10 citations
MAJ Drak 6/10 citationss
LC Ric Taldrya 13/10 citations (will be reset back to three after a new ISM is awarded);p.
MAJ Chris Cox 0/10 citations (was reset back to zero after earning a new ISM).
LC Dolsar Saris 5/10 citations
COL Morgan 3/10 citations
MAJ Evo Sarnok 12/10 citations (will be reset back to two after a new ISM is awarded);p.

current citation assignments: (from now on this is a first come first earned activity)- you can use the link below to maximuze our efforts.
