(22.04.01)
Introduction
A quite week for us at Phantom. With no flying competitions on everyone has been having to keep themselves busy. You've all been doing a good job too. I'm getting plenty of IWATS passes in my inbox, and I see a lot of you communicating. Still, it would be nice to have a competition so I'll have something sorted out for Monday.
Until then, pilots...get making banners for the Immortal. There is a competition on right now and the winner will get an IS-SR. If you want a shiny medal, check out the details in "Current Activities and Competitions"
SL Mark promoted to LT
Well done to Mark who was promoted to LT over the past week. He got it for passing the IWATS course mIRC/1, which he also added to by passing mIRC/2 this week. Hurrah...another active new pilot to add to my collection :o)
Flight III changes
Flight III now have a new motto, "Now You See, Now You Die". It's also worth noting that the Flight III website has moved to http://w1.183.telia.com/~u18312284.
Squadron Website
You're probably wondering where our squadron website is and what it's status is. In fact, I know that's what your thinking because the question has jest been posted on the Phantom Mailing List (http://www.tiecorps.org/mb/view.asp?b=35&v=2&s=0). Well, I can honestly say that the important bits have been completed (such as the frames, news/competitions, roster, links, etc) but the special features (such as the archive, pilot details and squadron details) have not been added yet.
I am going to temporarily post the site at http://battlecry.emperorshammer.ca/phantom/ because I don't have any webspace for it yet. Expect that to change in the future.
New Wing GFX Competition
Create a banner for the Immortal/Wing XI with the dimensions of 400x50 pixels. The first prize is an IS-SR and the second an IS-BR. Deadline is the 2nd May and all entries go to COL Badlands at badlands@isdclements.freeserve.co.uk. Also cc: me your entries, or at least tell me you have entered.
I want to see you all enter in this
competition. If you don't think you can for any reason, then please mail me to
say why...otherwise I'll just think your a lazy sod!!!

Yes, it's very late. I'll explain why in my upcoming report.
Special thanks go to Admiral Quake for help putting this together with HTMLizing
submissions. If it weren't for his help, this NL would've been held back and
released along side with NL #74.

SpecOps Projects
19:41 - VA Draye C. Maaric [belair2267@email.com]
Greetings. To facilitate an increase in activity, the Special
Operations Director (SOD) is now accepting new project ideas. The only criteria
as of right now are as follows:
1. New projects must involved the Emperor's
Hammer or once of it's respective subgroups.
2. Any and all suggestions must be original. No cheap knock-offs of other
projects or programs.
3. Make them cool! The EH already has a great foundation for doing what it set
out to do (being the largest Star Wars organization in the world and all), so
let's all contribute to make it an even more fun group to be a part of!
As soon as I get a SpecOps webpage up and running, there will be a submission form for sending in such ideas and suggestions. For now, just send them to me at belair2267@email.com. Hope to hear from you soon!

19:43 - COL Mairin [somnia_vacua@yahoo.com]

Werdna have teamed up to produce the new generation of EH magazine: Imperial

Online Newsletter #73 Mirror
22:43 - FA Absolutek [io@absolutek.com]
Since I don't see my online mirror of NL #73 mentioned anywhere,
I thought I'd let people know about it, since I know there are those of you out
there who do not feel like downloading all +6MB worth of NL zip :-)

Orders
- Await further orders. There will probably be a flying competition of some kind starting in the next day or so.
- Take part in as many multiplayer competitions as you can (more info can be found at http://www.tiecorps.org/combat/)
- Attend IRC as often as possible. Remember that as well as #emperor's_hammer and #tiecorps, there is also an #ISD_Immortal room. If you need any help getting on IRC and using mIRC (or whatever) mail me. ISD Immortal meetings are on at 3pm EST in their channel.
- Post on the Phantom Message Board more often. It can be found in the Squadron Forums on http://www.tiecorps.org/mb/
- Recruit!!! If I can do it, ANYONE can!!!
- Give me some BSFs to do. If there are
any missions you haven't flown, then get flying. If you've completed them
already, then why not go for the highscores as they may be useful in a
future competition.

17.04.01 Flew IW-XWA27 for BSF
18.04.01 Submitted Graphic for competition
21.04.01 Uploaded Phantom website http://battlecry.emperorshammer.ca/phantom/
Comments: As well as all that, I've been keeping
busy with my new EH magazine and communicating on the mailing lists, message
boards, IRC and anything else that you can have a talk on.

FM/LT Mark
19.04.01 Passed IWATS mIRC/2 (90%)
20.04.01 Flew TC-XWA5 for BSF
Comments: Actually, Mark has been more active than this as I got a couple of other pilot files from him. However there must have been some problem because the files I got had no scores on them, so they couldn't be BSFed. He's also been keeping in good contact with me.
FL/CM Gunman
14.04.01 Changed flight motto to "Now You See, Now You Die"
Comments: Gunman has been working very hard on
sorting out a competition for his flight, but it didn't work out (not his
fault!!!). Also, as far as I know he has been posting on the mailing list. I
think he goes on IRC too, but not at the same times as me.
