Squadron News

Well this weeks been kinda a whirl for me. I caught a quick hop shuttle to the beach on Saturday night. For some reason 150,000 other civs and officers had decided to turn up, well I suppose keeping a Beach party with Fatboy slim quiet, was going to be difficult. What a night :p

The FO has now assigned us a new pilot I think Everyone has welcomed LT Dra Ven Zul (Dax) to the squad. yes you read that correctly Dax has already been promoted to LT, she has hit the ground running, congrats Dax.

All Members of Psi squadron and some of the citations are now on the Wing II site all of you should have access to the admin section of the site to allow you to update and keep your profiles upto date. Please mail me if you have problems.

Well a few Psi boys have been turning up for a few of the MP events this week. I'd like to see a few more ppl attempting a bit of MP if they can, it's a bit of a change from the old TIE and is a good bit of extra activity for these reports.

So Far little Interested in The FL3 FL so if your interested please drop me a line. I will assign someone to the post if I receive no more interest later on this week.

I am looking at a competition starting some time soon, we have been challenged by Hammer Squadron, however recently Thunder have expressed intrest in doing battle with the almighty Psi Squadron ;)
Watch out for a 3 way comp.

Recent Awards
03:04 - FA Priyum Patel [spellfire@btinternet.com]
Yesterday I was pleased to approve the promotions of Colonel Gen Es'mith and Colonel Jahan Kalar to the rank of General. Both Wing Commanders have been working extremely hard over the past several months, and these promotions are well deserved.

Also congratulations go out to Major Shae Kitane and Colonel Beef, both of whom have been awarded the Gold Star of the Empire for their services to the TIE Corps.

Lastly, some of you may have noticed that the TIE Corps membership now stands at 2000+, the highest it's ever been!

XvT Competitions
09:59 - VA Khadgar [khadgar1@shaw.ca]
I have signed the EH up for a Competition starting this Friday. It will last one week, and is specifically oriented towards XvT players and TIE Interceptors. The competition will be held on The Zone against participating clubs. LoCs will be awarded, so please come out! For further details, please see http://www.battlestats.com/games/xvt/war/info/?war1332.

I would also like to note that the EH is signed up for XvT WoW, which will start on July 19 and go until July 26. I have been impressed with pilot participation in WoW events, and I'm sure this one will get a great response as well!

End Of Imperial Storm III
00:33 - VA Pel [Palinathas@aol.com]
After doing a total recounting of all teams possessions, including points on hand, values of all items possesed (including probes) and counting each planet to be worth it's daily RP value, I find the following new values:

ATF has 16090 after recounting

Sov has 65338 after the recount

ASF has 40924 after a recount

Total is 122352

ATF has 13.1 %

Sov has 53.4 %

ASF has 33.4 %

Goal of the game was supposed to be 75 %. No team reached that. All teams finished with lower totals than they started. The Sov has the highest total points, but the ASF has the smallest loss of points from their start. This does not lead to a clear winner, as the rules did not anticipate someone not winning in the allotted time. I therefore will consider the ASF and the Sov team to both have marginal victories.

Due to the nature of this competition, I am not able to award medals to the winning team anyway. I would however like to commend all of you, and your teams for their excellent work. Of particular note I want to thank CM Ender mBind, for his work in this game, creating the Web Site, and helping with TIE mission creation. I wish to thank the Sov team, for their excellent meeting of deadlines, it made my job a lot easier. I want to thank the TFAs of all teams, for questioning me and the rules when necessary, and for giving me ideas for the future. But most importantly I want to thank the pilots who showed up, and everyone who participated and had a good time. Admirals, I ask that you take into account your pilots' activities in ImpStorm when reviewing their records for promotion or medals.

Thank you all for a good Game, I now take a weekend leave ( I will be away) and then I will begin work on a few new games, on a much smaller scale, to take place as soon as possible. There will be a basic game (very similar to ImpStorm) and a more advanced game (for those who have wargaming experience). Notice will be posted to apply for these games.

Wing Commander Appointments
13:10 - FA Priyum Patel [spellfire@btinternet.com]
Congratulations go out to Major Falcon who has been selected as the new Wing Commander of Wing XX and also to Lieutenant Colonel Halcyon, the new Wing IV WC. Both have a long and proven history of command ability and should prove to be fine choices.

TO Site
10:36 - VA Mell [mell@tiecorps.org]
I have received a lot of email recently telling me about bad links on the TO Site.

before you email me about bad links, can you ensure that you are using the new site located on http://www.emperorshammer.net/to/

If you find any bad links on this site then please feel free to email me.

Petition for a sequel to TIE Fighter
01:57 - MAJ Kyle Katarn [Kyle.Katarn@a1.net]
There is an online petition to LucasArts for creation of a sequel to TIE Fighter. You all being loyal Imperial pilots, I am sure that is one of the long term goals of your life :)

Go sign it at: http://www.petitiononline.com/tf2pc/

XO's comment - I don't really think I need to tell everyone how important a new TIE game would be for the TIE Corps and the EH as a whole. Currently, we have a situation where our primary platform, TIE Fighter, is becoming very hard to acquire and even harder to run on modern systems. XvT had multiplayer, but not very good singleplayer and, from what I've been told, network code that isn't exactly that hot. XWA has the eyecandy, it runs on modern systems and OSes, but it has issues of modification and the Rebel setting. With some recent PC releases such as JK2 and SWGB, Lucasarts is finally loosening the bonds and allowing fans to create content. This could factor into a new TIE game, so go put your name on the petition.
