But still it's farewell
And maybe we'll come back,
To earth, who can tell?
I guess there is no one to blame
We're leaving ground
Will things ever be the same again?
It's the final countdown...
We're heading for Venus and still we stand tall
Cause maybe they've seen us and welcome us all
With so many light years to go and things to be found
I'm sure that we'll all miss her so.
Last week winner: No winner. :P I won. It was Metallica - Hero of the Day

Major Marcin Szydlowski reporting:
From the CMDR's desk:
Ok. Settle down Crusaders. Your commander has an important message:
Flying Multi Player is our topic for today.
I know it's hard to fly in competition. For me TNT is the best.
But it starts at 2.00 AM our time, so it's deep night.
You can select other competitions, for me TNT is best cause i got excellent connection even with Australia.
I know it costs. 4zl/hour. But i think, once in a month you can spend 16zl and join me.
I know it's hard to be there. But i found solution. Go to bed early. About 21-23. You have few hours to sleep. Wake up at 2am, or make your clock to wake you up.
It's difficult to wake up, but when you'll be in bed at 22, you'll be fresh and you won't sleep entire day.
Competition ends at 5am, and personally i think it's possible to get up at 9, maybe even sooner.
Or, if you got buddy with T1 or cable, buy him beer and use his computer. At least once in a month. Trust me. Beer makes miracles. I tried to fly using my buddy's comp, but he had MK's problem. (ports)
Join PB-NET and you will be able to fly without lags :P
Please.... At least once in a month. Select competition and i'll be there, unless i'll have to wake up early.
Or make your own LAN and but SDI.
How much do you pay for your Internet. More than 160zl??? Go to TPSA and bug them. Buy SDI.
I know, i know. 1000zl at the beginning. But..... UNlimited connection. Find 2-3 pals and make LAN. I'll help you to find good soft.
Fly MP for the Glory of the Crusader.
Panaka. I know you're in aurtralia, but is it possible to catch you one IRC???

Michael's Quiz:
Ok, here we have new competition...
Mike has agreed with the idea of quiz contest. Every week, I will give you 6 question, about Star Wars and Tie Corps Universe. Questions won't be very difficult. One tour of the quiz will last one month. After four weeks I will sum up all the answers and choose the winner.
And now something really important - if you aren't sure about the answer, better don't guess , because I will subtract points for wrong answers. The award for first two places will be an ISM. Mike, maybe you can afford something better ? :)
Answers should be send to me ( chaose@go2.pl ). If there is still something important, not mentioned in this short note, fell free to tell me about it...
1. What type of hover-crafts were stormtroopers using in the Endor's forest?
2. How many FCHG points does the GA Ronin holding? (I think it shouldn’t change)
3. What medal did Mike promised, when we reach 200 cititation? (two possible)
4. What was the name of the Lando Calrissian private ship? (not Millenium Falcon)
5. Why pilots in Tie/F can't be on patrol more than few hours?
6. When did Boba-Fett died?
And that's it... next week I will give the answers and new questions - good luck!!
Respectfully submitted by...
LCM Michael

Citations Report
Salutations Crusaders!
As you may or may not be aware there have been some changes this week, and
it seems they have been drawing attention away from the real business.
Flying ofcourse! Mr. Mike has forgotten to email me the updated citations
list so I am unable give you the latest.
Please stay on the edge of your seats waiting for the latest round of
citation battles. I'll get them to you shortly. In the mean time do not be
idle! Just keeping going down the list of battles.
We are nearing that illusive 100 citations.(For all I know we may have it
now.) When we get there I hope we do not rest on our achievement as being
enough. Our next goal will be 150 and I am hoping there might be something
in it for us. Maybe Mike can confirm this? Thats all from me.
Srike swift, Strike True.
LCM Panaka
CMDR's note:
Yes. We will all get BS when we will hit 150 citations. But. All need to fly. I'll judge your flying with our COM. No battles = no Bronze Star.
