TIE Corps Battlegroups Commander selected
I've finally made my decision on the new BGCOM...many congratulations to Vice Admiral Mell! Mell is a veteran of the Battlegroups and has all the command experience and skills I would require of any BGCOM. I'm sure that he'll not only carry on the good work of the previous BGCOMs, but also work to bring his own successes. Congrats Mell.

ECR Phase 1 results
After taking into consideration the top 3 fictions sent in by the flag officers of each ship, the scores fell as follows:

Participation
ISD Colossus 24/30 -- 80%
ISD Immortal 17/32 -- 53%
ISD Challenge 13/48 -- 27%

TOP 3:

1) LC Absolut Vodka: 15 points and IS-GR
2) RA Manitsas: 10 Points and IS-SR
3) MAJ Calvin Numb: 5 Points and IS-SR

Overall:

1) ISD Colossus: 23 points
2) ISD Challenge: 17 points
3) ISD Immortal: 8 Points

The Tactical Office is finalising the Phase 2 scores. more when we get them in, until then, Colossus relish an early lead... will they hold it? Watch this space.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
COMMANDER'S CORNER
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yes, it's me again. Firstly, thanks to Phalk for last weeks report.

Things are hotting up for WC own this month, lets pull out all the stops to clinch it. We hold the lead at the moment but it's pretty tight.
Eta Squadron: 64 BSF's, 309 missions
Pi Squadron: 58 BSF's, 275 missions
Nu Squadron: 33 BSF's, 145 missions
Mu Squadron: 28 BSF's, 71 missions
Omicron Squadron: 19 BSF's, 64 missions
Iota Squadron: 12 BSF's, 38 missions

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STANDING ORDERS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yes, they have finally been made official. So anyone basically not following them are subject to being removed.

1. I expect all FMs to contact their Flight Leaders at least once a week, either by email, ICQ or IRC etc.

2. I expect everyone to participate in all competitions, except when there is a clash with important RL events, i.e. exams, illness etc
3. I want everyone to fly at least one battle or two free missions a week, alternatively you can create graphics, write fiction or create missions as long as the effort is the same as flying a battle or mission. Competition TFRs count as double, so you only need to fly one free mission if it's for a comp.

4. Flight Leaders - You will report to me at the end of each week detailing which of members of their flight have or haven't reported in and what they've done during the past week. Also, you will pass on to me any TFRs, fiction, graphics etc. you receive from your pilots.

5. Flight leaders - You are expected to be an example to your flight members and should typify what they are trying to become. I expect regular contact from you and input into how the squadron should be run and any changes that could be made for the better.

It doesn't take long to fly 2 free missions, you can even do it on easy if you must, you only need to fly on hard when it's a comp and scores are important.
