My apologies for this late report. I have several projects that have occupied my time, which will hopefully be finished up soon.
Also, as some of you may have noticed, Frodo is now MIA. So until he returns, or something drastic happens, please reffer any questions you may have to me and I will try to answer them in a timely manner.

Flight Officer Back
10:20 - HA Priyum Patel [spellfire@btinternet.com]
Ok, wipe away those tears folks, I'm back. First off, my sincere apologies for this unexpected absence...a culmination of deadlines and serious computer problems all conspired to keep me off line for the past week.
Anyway, the majority of updates are now complete. Those that aren't, I'm afraid will need to be resent to me since I ended up losing a significant portion of my HD during the troubles. Again my apologies for this.
In other news, I'm sorry to report that Vice Admiral RogueWing has decided to step down as Commodore of the ISD Immortal and take up a FM's position in Ghost Squadron. RW was one of the finest Flag Officers to grace the TIE Corps and I'm very sorry to see him go. The Flight Office extends its thanks for all the work he's put into his Battlegroup and Ship.
Starshatter
05:45 - VA Kyle Katarn [Kyle.Katarn@isdcolossus.com]
I know this is a bit off topic, but look at this site.
After this Game is finished, then there could be an Imperial MOD made for Star Wars. This game is especially made for MODers. The MOD that comes with Starshatter itself seems a bit superficially! However if there is a good Imp. SW MOD made this could help the EH very much!

The Make A New mIRC Function Competition
19:10 - Fleet Admiral Aiden Cantor Karias [io@absolutek.ca]
I have started yet another COMM competition (this must be a record for COMM ;). Its called the "Make a new mIRC function" competition. The idea is to make a simple function that provides a useful way to do a task in mIRC. Entries do not have to be massive full fledged scripts like P&P, rather a simple paragraph of code that will do something useful.
Rewards are as follows:
1st Place: IS-GR
2nd Place: IS-SR
3rd Place: IS-BR
I'm hoping to promote mIRC scripting in the EH, and perhaps find a few good coders to help make an "EH Script" package. The contest will end at 12 midnight EST 2003/09/05. Please send all submissions to io@absolutek.ca .
