HADES REPORT # 44 May 28, 2005 Hades Squadron Weekly Report
Major Clegane Reporting in for Hades Squadron
HADES NEWS
I am working on a few competition ideas in the coming weeks.
 BATTLE ALERT!!!
o The Sovereign has won Calamari.
 Starting on May 10th we have two Hades Competitions running:
o Hades Banner Competition
o Hades Assassination Mission Fiction Competition.
o These are almost over, lets get some entries.
 The Sovereign SP Ladder Comp for May has begun. Mission details below.
 Look for a series of comps to celebrate my 1 year anniversary as Hades Commander as well (which will be in July). These Competitions’s will follow the above competitions.
I hope you all like it. I got tired of the other boring format, and hopefully this one lasts awhile. [Note: If you are unable to view this Report as it should appear, go to the TIE Corps page that has Hades Reports @ Hades Squad Reports].

WING VII NEWS
From General Turr’s Wing Report:
Sorry for the lack of report last week. I've been feeling really bad physically. I had a real bad cough and shortness of breath...so much so that I have stopped smoking. Anyway, I'm quite a bit better now so let's get on with it. Pay special attention to anything about a comp. :P
NEWS:
~ SA Sarin is the new XO…congrats to you and good luck!
~ Oh, IMPSTORM HAS STARTED! We have a fleet around Telos and Mon Calamari! Unfortunately, we also have company at Mon Calamari…the dreaded TCBG’s! :P See below for some battle info!
~ The MP XWA Battle will be taking place on Thursday 26th May at 10PM GMT / 5PM EST in #isd_predator. The link (http://www.btinternet.com/~spellfire/is_battles1.html) also has the single-player XvT and TIE Mission files along with instructions on how to submit them. Remember that every pilot can influence the survival or destruction of his or her Fleet! If you can, fly for the glory of the Sov! Send all subs directly to VA Stele and CC me and your CMDR.
~ Good job to the current TAC staff for fixing all the bugs in the Mission Compendium! Good job!
~ Applications being accepted for FO:CA
With the promotion of Sarin to XO, I am looking for a new CA for the Flight Office. Since I've decided not to appoint any FOA's at this time, the duties of my CA, though a bit easy in my eyes, are very important to the TC.
Requirements:
-Good e-mail response time, with in 24 hours
-Absolutely NO HCI/SO Convicitons
-Have taken SM/3
-Have a good working knowledge of the TC systems, protocols, and guidlines
-Able to fill in duties for FO when FO is unavailable (Which is rare)
-Able to play nice with others
Duties:
-Organize and maintain a report schedule for all TC reports
-Able to run the TC meeting weekly in my absence. (Often)
-Able to perform database entries such as recruits, CTs and placements (Will be taught)
-Anything else I decide
I am looking for a highly motivated individual who would in essence be groomed for the FO should I leave, retire or die in office. My preferences would be that the individual have held at least a WC spot or great, however, I will honor any application that comes to me.
When applying Have CA Application in the subject header.

Imperial Storm - Battle Results
07:20 - HA Priyum Patel
The results are finally in for the Battles that took place at the end of Turn 1 -
The ASF was beaten by the Sith Fleet, who now claim the planet of Ryloth. The Sith SP scores were also higher than the ASF, so they get to save 600 points worth of ships lost in the XWA MP battle. The highest TIE scoring Sith pilot was Zethy and the highest XvT scoring Sith pilot was Gidda. On the ASF side, the highest TIE scorer was Blackrage, who also scored the highest for XvT.
In the other battle, the Sovereign claimed victory over the TCBG, but only after suffering heavy losses themselves. For their pains, they have now captured the planet of Mon Calamari. The TCBG scored higher in the SP averages and so may now save 520 points from their otherwised destroyed Fleet. The highest TIE scoring Sov pilot was Tempest. For the TCBG, it was Landeux on both platforms.
Turn 2 was relatively quiet with planets being captured and pacified, and Fleets tending to their wounds. The game continues...
Freeworlds - Training Days
06:28 - HA Priyum Patel
The Empire will be holding regular training sessions each week on Sundays at 10PM GMT / 5PM EST. The place will be Bastion Planet. Each week will have a different theme to it - capship killing, escort, transport docking etc.
If you do attend, please email (spellfire@btinernet.com) me your name so I can put you up for Legions of Combat.
[TO] FLEET COMP and New Course
00:33 - AD Stuart
Fleetwide Competition:
I would like to remind everyone of the FLEET WIDE Education competition running for the next 7 weeks. MANY medals are available to be won ranging from IS-BR to IS-PR and you are not competing against other people to get them! (Work together... hint hint) Details and HINTS for this competition can be found here:
http://mb.emperorshammer.net/viewtopic.php?t=951

I would like to announce that the NEW TAC course to replace XTM/2, TT/2, TACS, will be released shortly!! Stay tuned to the TO report, ehtiecorps.org and ImperialAcademy.org for news!
TAC Staff Openings
21:38 - AD Frodo
Oh yay! Its that time again, I'm taking applications for TAC staff. The following positions are open, their requirements are listed underneath.
XvT, XWA, and TIE TCS (Beta Tester)
-Good knowledge of the three platforms mentioned above.
-Willing to pass IWATS MCBS when it is released (Grr...Stu! :P)
-Able to complete 3 assignements ranging from 1 to 8+ missions within two weeks.
I will be looking for about 3 or 4 more Testers, I'd like them to be VERY active this time. Remember that it isn't just a reason to bloat your ID line, I make sure that you only get the ID line addition if you deserve it. Also, its the number one way to become a tactician, which corrects battles.
Applications go to AD Frodo March (tac@emperorshammer.org) and VA Master (slavelet@iinet.net.au) with the subject "I want to be a TAC lackey!"

Imperial Storm - Turn One Battles
09:59 - HA Priyum Patel
It's only the end of Turn One and we already have two battles to play out in Imperial Storm! Fleets have arrived in orbit around several planets in a bid to capture them for vital victory points. For full details please go here
The MP XWA Battle will be taking place on Wednesday 25th May at 10PM GMT / 5PM EST in #isd_predator. The above link also has the single-player XvT and TIE Mission files along with instructions on how to submit them. Remember that every pilot can influence the survival or destruction of his or her Fleet!
Do NOT use sco.emperorshammer.net
20:09 - FA Ender mBind
Since we have lost access to the SCO site at emperorshammer.net over a month ago and because it does not seem as if we will regain it any time soon, the site is basically discontinued. This means files there are outdated, which in turn means you may encounter bugs that have already been resolved or download files that have been replaced all together - causing compatibility problems.
So for as long as minos.net remains operational, please use sco.minos.net.
Operation Anteater Status: Complete
15:48 - AD Frodo
It is with great pride and joy that I hereby announce that Operation Anteater is complete! There is only one remaining bug report on the mission compendium for XW-CD 1, but that perticular bug will be fixed momentarily, and I count it more as a flaw with the betatesting staff than anything else.
I would like to thank the Anteater staff that worked tirelessly on this project, they are the following:
AD Frodo March - XvT/BoP/TIE/XWA tactician, worked countless bugs
VA Master - XWA tactician, fixed nearly 90% of the XWA bugs
VA Locke Setzer - TIE/XW tactician, worked out about 75% of the TIE bugs.
VA Gidda - Some help with fixing up the XWA bugs
MAJ Deimos - Validated many, many bugs in the XWA section.
CM Brukhar - Some on demand work for the XvT and TIE departments
LC Apophis Kuma - A bit of help in the TIE department
Medals were recommended for all of these fine gentlemen. I'd also like to thank all of the membership of the Emperor's Hammer for posting bugs, because if you guys didn't find the bugs, then we wouldn't know what to fix!
Also... I've noticed that usually these projects are fruitless, as in, we fix all the bugs, and then sit on our bums and watch for another few years and make another project like this one. That is the old way, as of this day, May 22nd 2005, I proclaim that my TAC staff and I will NEVER let bugs plague our mission compendium again. AS OF NOW, EVERY BUG THAT IS REPORTED WILL BE INVESTIGATED, AND CORRECTED IF NEEDED WITHIN TWO WEEKS. Within two weeks, if you do not receive e-mail notification that the bug was fixed, or that the report was ignored within two weeks then...I don't know, because its not going to happen.
Once again, thanks to the staff, you've done some excellent work!
