Wow, time flies when you have none. Welcome to another Kappa Squadron
Report. :)


Squadron News
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

- The wing comp against the Grey Wolf and Immortal is over, with these
overall results:
Wing II : 144
Wing XI : 60
Wing XIII : 3

Ouch, we've made them eat pretty much dust. :)
I assume that you've all read Stele's Wing report, as well as his
forwarded mail from RA Setzer, so I won't repeat all the elementary
scores again. Congrats to all who contributed to this overwhelming
success, especially to our very own Roaster who has won the TIE
division. Outstanding! :)
I also want to express a certain respect for RA Setzer who
congratulated us on our victory while being among the "Sov Bashers"
before. At least he knows how to lose with dignity, as opposed to
some other people. Read on...

- The second battle engagement in IS IV has also finished... or so we
thought, until some whiners found some hairs in their soup and
decided that the Sov forces were playing unfair (as it's quite
impossible that we win anything by skill, you know).
TIE and XvT division won't be affected, but the XWA skirmish part
will be redone today. See more details at
http://www.imperialmight.org/sovis/html/index.php.

- The first round of the Sovereign Cup has ended, results will be
given out tomorrow. Info on the next round has already been sent
by Tod, though. The next matches including Kappans will be:

LC Tempest vs. MAJ Jack Stone (Group A)
COL Astarosta vs. FA Mike (Group E)
LCM Shimir Sheerelk vs. COL Master (Group H)

Looks interesting, doesn't it? Looks like the TAC himself will have
the honour of getting his butt kicked by da Roastaman, wile I'll
have to take on our Wing II mate Jack. Sorry in advance, Jack. :)
The mission is TIE-Free 226 (attached), deadline is Nov 21st.
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.

- And another major inter-ship comp! As already announced in my last
report, this time our opponents are ISDs Intrepid and Vanguard, the
deadline November 30th.
Fly TIE-TC 211 (attached) and/or XvT-TC 75 and/or XWA-TC 24 for the
glory of Wing II!

Miscellaneous / TC News

slated for a 9/04 release date. You can read more details at
Slashdot or Aint It Cool News.


- ISD Vanguard Website Creation Comp (FA Cyric)
A new competition is open to everyone in the TC, the Vanguard needs
a new website, design a new one and the best one chosen will recieve
a IS-GR, or if quality is of such excellence a higher medal maybe

http://www.emperorshammer.net/competitions/details.asp?ID=1079
Please contact VA Sickman for more details


- BoP shippatch (AD Ender mBind)
Today saw the release of the "Emperor's Hammer Ship Patch" for BoP.
This patch adds the TIE Defender, Missileboat, Scout Craft,
Passenger Liner, Carrack Cruiser, Communications Relay, Sensor
Array, Astromech, Large Gunplatform, Laser Battery, Probe Capsule
and Pilot to BoP. It also changes ranks and awards to a EH theme.
The patch can be installed together with other patches and kept
installed permanently as it does not replace any existing Craft.


- FOA Chosen (FA Cyric)
After careful consideration of each and every aaplication that came
to the Flight Office, both myself and VA Reaper have decided on LC
Styles as the new FOA.

Thanks to all who applied!


- Golden Tug Awards - Phase 2 (FA Marcin Szydlowski)
You can vote now. Go and visit mission creation board to cast your
vote.


- TIE Fighter Ship Patch Released! (AD Ender mBind)
Today saw the release of the "Emperor's Hammer Ship Patch" for TIE
fighter '95. This patch adds the Shipyard, Repairyard, Medium
Transport, Communications Relay, Sensor Array, Astromech,
Gunplatform, Large Gunplatform, Laser Battery, Super Star Destroyer
and Pilot to TIE95. It fixes the bug in TIE Fighter that keeps
Imperial Star Destroyers from firing their lasers.
The patch can be installed together with other patches and kept
installed permanently as it does not replace any existing Craft.

This patch replaces the earlier "ISD Lasers Patch" for TC flying. Go
check it out on the Patch Archive.


- Design The XO Site Competition (SA Astatine)
The current XO site isn't very good and hasn't been updated for a
while. By the nature of the office, the XO site should be a nexus
for some very important information within the EH. To address this,
I'll need a new design, as the current one (at
http://www.emperorshammer.net/xo/) is pretty basic.

The basis of the competition will be to design a "template" for the
site, which should include graphics, menu elements, etc. The menu
items on the current site can be used as a guide for the template.
Everything else is left to your creative whims. Final submissions
can either be hosted online, with the URL emailed to me, or the
files themselves can be emailed to me. Submissions close on 30th
November. The competition is open to all EH members. First place
gets an Iron Star Gold Ribbon (or subgroup equivilant). Second and
third, if up to scratch, will get a Iron Star Silver Ribbon and Iron
Star Bronze Ribbon respectively. Submissions should be sent to
xo@emperorshammer.org with the subject of "I have l33t w3b skillz".


- IWCOM open for applications (SA Astatine)
Overview
The position of Infiltrator Wing Commander (IWCOM) involves the
day-to-day operations and oversight of the subgroup, as well as
development, implementation and followthrough of competitions and
other activities for the entire subgroup. Appointment and review of
IW command staff are also key duties for this position.

Selection Criteria - Essential
1. Good written communication skills.
2. An acceptable level of presence in online media such as IRC,
message boards, etc.
3. Fast email response time.
4. The ability to work with a range of EH personnel, including the
Executive Officer.
5. Experience at some level of command, preferably at least at TIE
Corps Wing Commander or equivilant.

Selection Criteria - Desirable
1. Proven evidence of exceptional performance in a command position
2. Prior experience in the Infilrator Wing.

You must address each criteria with supporting evidence. Simply
saying "Yes, I can do that" will not be enough. Outline examples of
experience and situations for each point. You should meet at least
the essential criteria to be considered for the position. You will
be expected to perform the core duties as listed and if you are
unwilling to perform them, don't bother applying. You must include
at least three (3) references in your application. At least one must
be a current or former superior (preferably current). Ensure you
have their permission first. If it is found out that you have used
someone's name without their permission, your application will be
disqualified. Applications should be directed to the Fleet Commander
(fc@emperorshammer.org) and Executive Officer
(xo@emperorshammer.org) with the subject "Application for IWCOM".


- New battles and free missions (FA Marcin Szydlowski)
