Well, how about that, IWATS Report #100.

The Iron Star continues to be a problem in that people are bitching and trying to break the rules. Some valid concerns are being addressed and the system should be set in stone very soon. A FAQ on the new system is being prepared.

Final tweaking of the XvT/XWA Academy is underway and the new entity (the name will be changing) will be unvieled soon. Also, MAJ Tarkin joins the IWATS staff. His course will be up and running soon, as well as the ICQ course.

In the area of fleet competitions, I've got a plot competition up and running. Details are at http://www.imperialacademy.org/comps/plotcomp/ Also, a member asked about TO Comp 5, wanting to view the movies. I've decided to upload the competition's site. The URL is http://www.imperialacademy.org/comps/comp5/

The last month has seen a rapid acceleration in the graduate rate from IWATS. In the last month, over 400 graduates were processed, currently setting the total around the 6500 mark. Current projects now place the 10,000 mark within 10 months. SM/2 is set to break the 500 mark soon.
