I have selected a new ASF BGCOM and a new ISD Grey Wolf Com. I realize that it has only been two days since I posted for applications, but I didn't give a deadline for a reason...I wanted to see who was the most interested in the positions and who has the online frequency need for the positions, especially for the ASF BGCOM position.

With this in mind I have selected VA Gidda as the next ASF BGCOM.

 

For the ISD GreyWolf, the current WC, LC Crimsonfury has been promoted to the rank of RA and given command of the Grey Wolf!

Congrats to both!

Just a reminder that there is an Iron Mission Creation match between CPT Daar Skeloria and FA Den Darkhill this sunday at 1300hrs EST.

This is a semi-final match, hence the winner will go on to the finals.

Another reminder that the flying challenge is still on this week, the high score holder for TIE Free 254 this sunday will receive an IS-BW or SW!

Good luck to all!

This week we had a 3 way match in light of CM Fahrer's late appearance in the Iron Mission Creation competition. It was between LC Mouse Droid, LC Ric Taldrya and CM Fahrer.

It was a hard fought battle in front of a very large crowd in the #TAC channel which results in the release of XvT Free 184, XvT Free 185 and TIE Free 254.
The winner of the match was Commander Fahrer who, even though arrived 1 hour late managed to create a very very good TIE mission. He will advance to the Semi Finals. The schedual for the semi-finals can be seen here.

Also, the Flying Challenge resumes for this week! the pilot who holds the high score for TIE Free 254 will be awarded the Iron Star!

The new Freeworlds Server is back up and play as resumed. The new server's IP is 209.200.19.44. All characters and previous settings have been restored. One thing that has changed is that all Krath are now on the Empire's Kill On Sight list. Any EHers with Krath characters must suspend use of either Krath or Imperial tags while hostilities exist.

Further, I'll be removing all Eidolon, Argosy and Rapax entries from our user list tonight. If you have not yet created an EH-F or EH-S pilot, now is your last chance. Please email me to get added.

TIE TC 223 and XvT TC 112 have been released at a mission compendium near you!

All testing pilot files can be sent to me. And to all mission creators: I'd like to add that if you do not have FCHG points for a battle that you have created, please contact me at once and send me the file if you have it. If you do not have it, e-mail me anyway, I might have it.

Thanks!

The local paper where I live, the West Australian, had an article about Celebration 3 in its Saturday issue. I've scanned it for you all to check out. Available in GIF (1MB) or PDF (900k) format.

-Proven flight activity
-Passed IWATS TACS

Tactician (Corrector):
-Must own working versions of at least one of the above
-Must have passed the IWATS mission creation course attached to the platform you plan on correcting for.
