¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

Welcome to the newest Kappa Squadron Report, and sorry for the little
delay.


Squadron News
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

- SL Thud Asphalt joined us as Kappa 3-1! Everybody say hello if you
haven't yet. Great to have you on board, Thud. :)

- For top-scoring in the TIE division of the wing comp against the
Grey Wolf and the Immortal, COL Astarosta has been awarded an Iron
Star with Gold Wings. Grats, Roasty! :)

- The second round of the Sovereign Cup is over, haven't heard any
results yet, though. They should be out by tomorrow. Still, right as
last time, Todbringer quickly gave out the new matches. See orders
section.


---------------------------------------------------------------------------


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.
The rest is the same as always, but I'll repeat it once more:
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:
http://battles.tiecorps.net/old/
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 one more week.
Fly TIE-TC 211 (attached) and/or XvT-TC 75 and/or XWA-TC 24 for the
glory of Wing II!

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

- TIE Ship Patch VERSION 2.0 Released! (AD Ender mBind)
The newest version of the EHSP for TIE'95 has been released to the
sco.minos.net 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 adds new models for the Probe/2, Sat/2 and Buoy/2.

(Currently the sco mirror site is down, the moment it gets up again,
that will be updated as well.)


- BoP Ship Patch VERSION 2.0 Released! (AD Ender mBind)
The newest version of the EHSP for BoP has been released to the
sco.minos.net 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 BoP bug that kept the CORTs from
firing their lasers and adds new models for the Sat/2 and Buoy/2.

(Currently the sco mirror site is down, the moment it gets up again,
that will be updated as well. Especially for MP - always make sure
to have the latest version.)


- Vacancies in Tactical Office (FA Marcin Szydlowski)
With resignation of Apophim Kuma and elevation of VA Styles, I am
looking for new TCCs. Also, I am looking for testers and engineers
for TIE and XW.

Requirements for TCC:TIE:
- Must own TIE95
- Rank of LCM or higher
- Reasonable FCHG rating
- Proven mission creation knowledge (at least 2 battles made, or
free missions)
- TMs passed
- Ability to work under high pressure (ie. Mike)
- great email response time (max 24hrs)
- familiarity with EHBL

Requirements for TCC:XvT:
- must own both XvT and BoP
- rank of LCM or higher
- reasonable FCHG rating
- mission creation knowledge (2 battles or few missions created)
- XTM 1 and 2 passed
- ability to work under high pressure (ex. Mike)
- great email responce time (up to 24 hrs)
- familarity with EHBL

Requirements for testers and engineers are very similar to those
stated above, though you don't need mission creation knowledge when
you want TCS position.

Send all applications to TAC and CA:TAC :) Good luck!
