(12.08.01)
Introduction
Thank you to everyone for competing in the COM's Own competition. While we have to wait a couple of days to find the results, hopefully we'll win. It'll be hard though with Ranger's roster down to just 5 pilot who are all very, very good, and Falcon have had some very good entries too. I have faith that we will do ourselves proud.
I haven't got the results of the Flayer competition yet. The CMDR isn't really returning my e-mails. It should get sorted in the near future and the pilots awarded duly. I'm working hard to make sure this competition doesn't go the same way as the Demon competition a month ago.
There is no competition this week. You're getting a break to prepare for the Fleet-wide competition. It will be hard but I can foresee us doing very well in it. But for now just have some fun, as I'm going to be on your back throughout this competition!!!
New pilot
Please welcome SL Bobecc to Phantom Squadron! Just off Daedalus and ready for action, I'm sure Bobecc will be a great edition to our squadron. He'll also soon be a LT now he has completed his INPR. I hope you have a great time with us, Bobecc.
Lot's of medals this month
Due to good MSE's last month, LT Rollins was awarded a PC and LCM Mark was awarded an ISM. If you want a nice medal too next month, I suggest you get very, very active!!!
Fleetwide Competition coming
As I posted before, there is a big competition going to start soon to find the best TIE squadron and the best XvT/XWA squadron. Good knows how they are going to compare the XvT and XWA squadrons, but that's not our concern right now. For now just prepare to get very active in the next few weeks, and learn how to fly fighters without shields (without getting shot down, please!!!).

New EuroLoC time
06:37 - LC Mike [pbmike@go2.pl]

Euroloc. As always, it's on Saturday, but 09:00-12:30 EST (15:00-18:30 GMT).
EH Timeline - Thrawn Trilogy
06:38 - VA Goatham [RGoatham@aol.com]
As you may, or may not, know a competition based around the
Emperor's Hammer Timeline which involves the return of Grand Admiral Thrawn is
set to start on the 15th of August. This is set to be a huge project with
around 120 missions required to get through the story, along with a lot of
plot to accommodate for the involvement of all the subgroups of the Emperor's
Hammer. Thus we need your help in order to complete this, so if you are any
good at making missions, or at writing fiction and wish to help please contact
VA Goatham (rgoatham@aol.com), AD Ramos (magedon42@aol.com) and COL Blackbird
(dex@cyborrea.cjb.net) for further details on what we would require from you,
thank you.
Episode II Title: Attack of the Clones
06:39 - AD Jarak Maldon [jarak@stny.rr.com]
The title for the next installment of the Star Wars prequel
trilogy will be entitled Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones. Like most
Star Wars titles, this is a very blunt to-the-point title similar in such to
Return of the Jedi. The following is taken from the news report posted on
starwars.com:
"starwars.com is pleased to announce that Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones is the full title for the next Star Wars film, scheduled for release in 2002. Attack of the Clones joins The Phantom Menace, A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi as chapter titles in the six-episode Skywalker saga. It harkens back to the sense of pure fun, imagination and excitement that characterized the classic movie serials and pulp space fantasy adventures that inspired the Star Wars saga."

determine who will be Mr. EH. Go vote at: http://iw.ehonline.org/LO/polls/mr-missEH/
TAC Troubles...
23:09 - AD StarLion [colstarlion@hotmail.com]
"Why isnt the TAC doing ...." The TAC's Network
connection is being annoying. All your emails ARE being read, but until my
connection is stabilized i will be at a diminished capacity. Needless to say,
Network Administration have a nice stack of complaints in their email boxes,
and i hope to have this sorted ASAP.
Orders
- If you want to play multiplayer XWA, then get stuck into Imp Storm II
- 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.
- 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.

also another pilot who has been posting on everything lately.
FM/LCM Deimos (50):
On semi-leave
No recordable activity (because he got high scores in his BSFs)
Comments: Deimos has flown a lot this week, and got a lot of high scores
too. He's been e-mailing me a lot, as well as appearing on IRC. All this and he
still says he doesn't have the time to be a fully active member!
