*Salute*

Well after quite awhile being MIA, KIA, or what have you I'm finally back in the drivers seat here at the Science Office. I would like to apologize to the Fleet for my extended absence. There have been a few things that have slipped while I was gone, but I would like to thank Kermee for stepping in and getting them taken care of.

Patches: Will after seemly years in the waiting the Astatine-class TUG was released. If you haven't been living under a rock for the past month then you know about the battle and TUG released to commemorate IWATs passing 10,000 graduates. As always any new patches can be found in the Patch Archive.

New Program: DATech, a program that allows you to edit the hull icons of craft cockpits and map icons, has been released over at http://www.darksaber.freeserve.co.uk/. I have not had a chance to test the program out yet but it looks very promising.
