* KAPPA SQUADRON REPORT * LC Tempest * November 28th, 2003 *
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

Welcome to the newest Kappa Squadron Report. It's been a slow week...
please remember those competitions currently running!


Squadron News
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

- Results for the second round of the Sovereign Cup are out, and they
are quite unspectacular. Both Roasty and me defeated our opponents
(FA Mike and MAJ Jack Stone), but as they didn't hand a pilot file
in, that wasn't too hard.
Also Shimir was beaten because he didn't fly.
And speaking of it Shimir, this is your THIRD WEEK without activity!
Report in, please!

Squadron Orders
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

- The matches (envolving Kappans) for the third round of the
Sovereign Cup are:

LC Tempest vs. LC Nightmare (Group A)
COL Astarosta vs. LCM Fatboy (Group E)
LCM Shimir Sheerelk vs. AD Kerrigan (Group H)

The mission is TIE-Free 197 (attached), deadline is Dec 5th. This
will be the last round of the group phase, so give your best.
Todbringer wants us to use the EHM mission files where possible, but
if the EHBL doesn't work for you, using the zip version is also
allowed. Find it here:

Submissions go to Tod (todbringer@poczta.onet.pl), and please CC me.

- The Beer Cup competition (against ISDs Intrepid and Vanguard) is
still on until November 30th... that's this Sunday.
Fly TIE-TC 211 (attached) and/or XvT-TC 75 and/or XWA-TC 24 for the
glory of Wing II!
And don't wait until the last minute - unless most of the other TC
battles, this one is a pretty tough one if you fly on hard. Or at
least it was until mission 3, where I had to stop playing because of
a bug preventing a primary mission goal.
I hate battles designed for TIE95! :(
But don't let this discourage you. If you have another version of
TIE than TIE-CD, it will prolly work fine for you.

- Stele has proposed an e-mail-game of Space Empires III. Not
SW-related, but it sounds like fun. If you're interested, get
information and the game itself here:
http://www.malfador.com/se3.html
Contact Stele if you're interested. :)

- An ex-member of the Wing has asked me for a spot in Kappa yesterday.
Yay! :) And no, I won't tell you who it is... yet. :)
I hope he doesn't reconsider and also that the transfer won't make
any difficulties. It would be great to see this veteran join our
ranks. :)

Miscellaneous / TC News
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

- TCCOM's OWN (FA Cyric)
I have selected my very first TCCOM's OWN! This wing has been
extremely active over the course of several months. They have flown,
they have been a cohesive unit within the TC, and above all, they
took the bull by the horns and recruited their butts off to have the
most amount of pilots in a TC WING. Above all, each and every member
in this wing is active to some degree and is a great example of what
the TC and the EH as a whole represents: Teamwork,
dedication,devotion, and having fun. For this I award WING XIII of
the ISD GREYWOLF the honor of TCCOM'S OWN! Congrats pilots, you've
earned it!


- ATF BGCOM Promoted (FA Cyric)
I have the honor and privilege to announce the promotion of the ATF
BGCOM, VA Khane. VA Khane has served as ATF BGCOM for over 7 months.
He had the very difficult task of rebuilding, and keeping the ATF in
order during the rDB incident. Since then, the ATF has become a very
active group, with monthly comps such as the BJ COMP (That's BG
Judgment Comp) and managed to bring in new people to the group. This
promotion is a long time in coming and very much well deserved. So
without further ado, VA Khane is from this point on granted the rank
and privileges of Full Admiral. Congrats AD Khane!


- XvT Ship Patch VERSION 2.0 Released! (AD Ender mBind)
The newest version of the EHSP for XvT has been released to the
Patch Archive. It features a new .exe based installer made by AD
Darkhill that is far more user friendly. (And works on all Windows
versions).
This version also mends the former EHSP bug that made all bouys look
like the probe capsule, fixes the XvT bug that kept the CORTs from
firing their lasers, adds 13 new melees to allow MP with the new
fighters and adds new models for the Sat/2 and Buoy/2.

(The sco mirror site is back up, all patches there have been
updated. Especially for MP - always make sure to have the latest
version.)
