CMDR Ramblings...
Hello to all of you. Another weeks gone by and we're now into the month of May. This
is the final stretches of Supremacy Competion 4, if we want the ISD Intrepid to be
the flagship of the ASF our activity in the next few weeks will determine it. I was also glad to award 4 medals this week for the two squadron competitions, more on that below.

ASF ACTIVITY COMPETITION SCORING:
EH MP Comp Win=20 Points 
Loss/Participate=5 Points (Ladders Count!) 
Top ASF Pilot in WoW(both XVT and XWA)=50 Points

Unofficial Cobra Squadron SC4 point totals!
1)LT Timpa Sloan - 780 points (110 this week) 
2)CPT Caltin Doros - 660 points (45 this week) 
3)LCM Vessicant - 620 points (140 this week) 
4)LT Blade - 460 points (370 this week)
5)LT Phantom - 235 points (150 this week) 
6)MAJ Kyle - 140 points (0 this week)
7)SL Sega - 0 points (none this week)

Citations Gained: 6 (+60 points)
Total Squadron Score: 2,955 (875 this week)


Good work by everyone, it seems like we're increasing the total points we gain as a squad each week. Especially thanks to Blade who had a great weak. Phantom, Timpa & Vess with good jobs as well. I'd like to see everyone getting some points during the week, if you only have a little bit of time during the week just showing up at a MP comp and flying 1 match gets you 5 points for participation. 40 points if you win(including the medal and participation pts). Completing an Iwats course www.imperialacademy.org/ is 15 points per course and some courses are extremely
easy if you follow the course notes. Let's see the Intrepid become the flagship!

EH/Tie Corps News...
Wow! Star Wars Galaxies the MMORPG is taking applications for beta-testing which will
happen starting in July. Here's a link to the application, if I get in i'll try to sneak some info thru the NDA's :P http://starwarsgalaxies.station.sony.com/
Imperial Storm 3 News! The first battle was flown last night. We found a lot of bugs in the new system, and a few errors were made on all sides. All TFAs have agreed to a couple of rule changes, and the battles have been re-engineered and re-tested, and are re-scheduled for Saturday, at Noon Eastern. Anyone who flew and submitted the TIE battles already, your scores will count. If you choose to re-fly, the higher score will count. Thank you all for bearing with this, the game will begin moving again soon.
With the recommendation of his Battlegroup Commander, Subjugator Commodore, Rear Admiral Grail, is today promoted to the rank of Vice Admiral for the tireless support he has given to his ship since it's opening. Congrats Grail!
The Training Office site is in the process of moving. It will be eventually located at http://www.emperorshammer.net/to/. At the moment, most of the files and courses have been uploaded. If you encounter an error, please email the TO at jpboyce@indigo.net.au
XvT Week of War ended Friday, and we had great turnout!
The top three EH pilots were:
1. COL Tarkin
2. LT Heinrich Margul
3. GN Kaerner
As a club, it was our biggest war yet in terms of games and players. Good job everyone!
Some changes about mission skipping. From now, skipping missions is strictly forbidden, various abuses led me to this decision. 
Skipping Missions 
You are not allowed to skip a mission in a battle whatever the reason is. All missions of a battle must be completed. You are not to use the ingame 'skipping mission' option of X-Wing Alliance. If you encounter a battle that has a fatal bug in it that prevents you from playing the rest of the battle, you cannot edit your pilot file to skip the mission. If you encounter a fatal bug, fill out a Bug Report on the Battle Center to explain why you could not finish a mission, and save a backup of your pilot file so you can finish the battle after it has been repaired. Skipping missions may lead to have the batle removed from your combat profile.
