TIE Fighter Ship Patch Released!

Today saw the release of the "Emperor's Hammer Ship Patch" for TIE fighter '95.
This patch adds the Shipyard, Repairyard, Medium Transport, Communications Relay, Sensor Array, Astromech, Gunplatform, Large Gunplatform, Laser Battery, Super Star Destroyer and Pilot to TIE95. It fixes the bug in TIE Fighter that keeps Imperial Star Destroyers from firing their lasers.
The patch can be installed together with other patches and kept installed permanently as it does not replace any existing Craft.
This patch replaces the earlier "ISD Lasers Patch" for TC flying. Go check it out on the Patch Archive.


Design The XO Site Competition

The current XO site isn't very good and hasn't been updated for a while. By the nature of the office, the XO site should be a nexus for some very important information within the EH. To address this, I'll need a new design, as the current one (at http://www.emperorshammer.net/xo/) is pretty basic.
The basis of the competition will be to design a "template" for the site, which should include graphics, menu elements, etc. The menu items on the current site can be used as a guide for the template. Everything else is left to your creative whims. Final submissions can either be hosted online, with the URL emailed to me, or the files themselves can be emailed to me. Submissions close on 30th November. The competition is open to all EH members. First place gets an Iron Star Gold Ribbon (or subgroup equivilant). Second and third, if up to scratch, will get a Iron Star Silver Ribbon and Iron Star Bronze Ribbon respectively. Submissions should be sent to xo@emperorshammer.org with the subject of "I have l33t w3b skillz".

Wing News

A new CMDR for Storm has been chosen. Congratulations go out to CM Shikie!

We won the BGCOM’s Judgement for October for the first time! A special mention goes out to LT Apex Cure for being the only pilot in the battlegroup to beat any of my sp scores :) Good work to all those who participated. However I want to see more participation this month.

Welcome SL Mach Bladder to the Wing!

This e-mail will go out to the e-mail group as well. Anyone in XIX who gets this over the ATF group but doesn’t get the XIX one, please let me know.

I’m still looking for people to express an interest in a recruitment team. I’ve had one name via someone else, if people could start getting their ideas to me it would be greatly appreciated.

I’m now actively looking for a Wing XO. There are no requirements and the application will be open-ended, so you should include as little or as much as you want.



Competitions

BGCOM’s Judgement is on. There are sections for every different platform and graphics and fictions so make sure you participate in at least one section (preferably all of them)
Sign up for that at http://bj.tiecorps.net

My two comps are continuing until I get a decent amount of submissions. The battle for the flying one is XWA-TC 20 and here are the trivia questions -

1. Luke Skywalker’s clone was called what?

2. Slave II is what kind of ship?

3. Squibs come from where?

4. The Spicy Lady was based on the plans of what ship?

5. The Corusca Rainbow was originally called what?

6. Battle Dogs are more commonly known as what?

7. Members of the Kurtzen race are found where?

8. What is the name of the crashed spacecraft in the centre of Mos Eisley?

9. What was the name of the pilot who fired the first unsuccessful shot at the Death Stars thermal exhaust port?

10. Who was Fixer’s girlfriend?

A new comp for this month will be a recruitment one. The person who gets the most recruits from wherever will win an IS-SR

Final Thought

Well guys the BJ success was a pleasant surprise and id like us to repeat the feat. I want more people participating this month. Also lets see some more recruits coming in. We stand at 35 members and I want to get us up to at least 40. Lets get moving on this. Ask all your friends, if you can fly on the zone, mail anyone you know in reserves and even some people you don’t. Also try mailing people on the Daedalus roster. Be careful with this though, remember we can’t actually ask people to join the wing, we have to offer our help to them. Lets get to it guys.


Cheers for now,
