Hey Squadron Report for August 18th through 26th 2003.

Hey Hey! This report was delayed due to communications relay problems last night. Got a bit to cover, so let's do it!

SQUADRON NEWS
-------------------------

Due to possible problems with XWA-TC #35, this month's Top Ace may be a draw. I'm still flying the battle, so I will update the status as things come up. Any suggestions for next month's Top Ace are welcome.

Now that I'm back on a network, I'll be resuming work on the squadron website. I've got some stuff to add, and any submissions you have are welcome.

That's about it.

WING NEWS
-----------------

Aleth Squadron is down to 2 pilots. :( Hope things work out and Aleth stays open.

A competition with Wing IV is in the works. Stay tuned.

Flight Officer Back
10:20 - HA Priyum Patel [spellfire@btinternet.com]
Ok, wipe away those tears folks, I'm back. First off, my sincere apologies for this unexpected absence...a culmination of deadlines and serious computer problems all conspired to keep me off line for the past week.

Anyway, the majority of updates are now complete. Those that aren't, I'm afraid will need to be resent to me since I ended up losing a significant portion of my HD during the troubles. Again my apologies for this.

In other news, I'm sorry to report that Vice Admiral RogueWing has decided to step down as Commodore of the ISD Immortal and take up a FM's position in Ghost Squadron. RW was one of the finest Flag Officers to grace the TIE Corps and I'm very sorry to see him go. The Flight Office extends its thanks for all the work he's put into his Battlegroup and Ship.

Starshatter

I know this is a bit off topic, but look at this site.

After this Game is finished, then there could be an Imperial MOD made for Star Wars. This game is especially made for MODers. The MOD that comes with Starshatter itself seems a bit superficially! However if there is a good Imp. SW MOD made this could help the EH very much!

The Make A New mIRC Function Competition
19:10 - Fleet Admiral Aiden Cantor Karias [io@absolutek.ca]
I have started yet another COMM competition (this must be a record for COMM ;). Its called the "Make a new mIRC function" competition. The idea is to make a simple function that provides a useful way to do a task in mIRC. Entries do not have to be massive full fledged scripts like P&P, rather a simple paragraph of code that will do something useful.

Rewards are as follows:
1st Place: IS-GR
2nd Place: IS-SR
3rd Place: IS-BR

I'm hoping to promote mIRC scripting in the EH, and perhaps find a few good coders to help make an "EH Script" package. The contest will end at 12 midnight EST 2003/09/05. Please send all submissions to io@absolutek.ca.

SQUADRON ORDERS
----------------------------

Fly! Fly anything! It's all good.

Communicate! I've just cleaned out my Inbox and with decent e-mail access, I'll be back to checking my e-mail daily.

Write fiction, create graphics! I'll be updating the website tomorrow while I don't have classes.

Take IWATS Courses! They look good on your ID Line and you learn stuff.

Have fun!

MISCELLANEOUS
-----------------------

I hate being broke! Soul Calibur 2 is out or will be out shortly for all the major consoles. I'd really like to get it for my GameCube, but then I'd have to shell out for second controller... Also Homeworld 2 has gone gold and should be in stores on September 16th. I've been waiting for this one for quite a while. Even worse, Jedi Knight II: Jedi Academy is supposed to be out on September 17th. C'mon folks, release demos for these games now!! Maybe that'll hold me for a while.

I think that about covers it for this week.

Thanks,

Lieutenant Colonel Josh Popelka
