Sigma Squadron Report #1
9th November 2004

CM Granite

-=[ Intro ]=-

It's my first report, so change of layout is highly probable.
Also, i'd like to apologize for my report beeing late. I had some RL problems. My cat was seriously sick and it was really probable that he'll pass away. But now he feels better.
This report would be rather short. Squad has currently only 3 members, so i'll try to get some recruitment com approved by TO. Wish me luck.
Stay sharp, we'll be facing rematch with Epsilon in nearest future.Both squadrons are low in numbers, so it will be fair comp. We won it last time and i expect you to help Sigma win it another time.

Freeworlds 1.65
14:24 - HA Priyum Patel
The next Freeworlds version, 1.65, is due to be released within a week, if not sooner. This new version is hugely improved over the current mod, bringing 8 new systems (including Bastion, Kuat, Kessel, Calamari) and over 20 new fighters and transports, such as the TIE Cyclone, Marauder Corvette and Gallofree Transport. In addition to these, trade routes have been overhauled to give Traders new ways of earning cash. Fighter pilots have not been forgotten either, with the mission system receiving a very welcome revamp (including the addition of the infamous $1,000,000 Missions - watch out for the Dreadnoughts). The EH has had it's new 1.65 ship list finally approved and I'm very pleased to be able to present it here:

Some of these ships may be unfamiliar to you as they exist only on the server. We've received an extremely good range of fighters, transports and bombers.

If you're interested in getting into Freeworlds, now is the perfect time as the closing days of 1.64 will allow you to learn all the basics and at the same time anticipate the new mod with the rest of us who already play. The best way to learn about FW is to have a look over the following sites:

• IWATS Freeworlds - The majority of the information contained within the notes are still extremely pertinent and serve as a good primer to getting connected onto the server and playing.
• ISD Predator Info - This site details how FW currently works within the TIE Corps, including things like awards.
• http://usa.assassinsden.com/ - The homepage of the FW Server we play on.

If you've got any questions about any aspect of Freeworlds in the TIE Corps, then please don't hesistate to contact Myself or LC Keller.

Thanks to the XO the TC MB is back and running at

http://www.ehtiecorps.org/mb

New MB is the same we had couple of years ago but we can expect some new features to be added. Go use them and don't spam too much.

Training Office's URL
23:06 - RA Drako
Since the to.minos.net redirection doesn't work, please use

http://69.10.137.116/~ehto/

to access IWATS courses and the Training Manual. I'll try to get a new redirection ASAP.

Patches at the Science Office Mirror.
17:44 - FA Ender mBind
With minos being down, you can always still get your patches and files at the Science Office Mirror. It does not include the Fleet Manual and other such content - but it does include all the downloads.
