FA Cyric reporting in for the Flight Office on 7/24/2004 There has been much speculation and debate over the implementation over Free Worlds in the TC. Though the decision has been made to house the FW platform on an ASF ISD, this does not mean that it is closed to every other member of the fleet. Much like all the other platforms, every member, regardless of where they reside in the TC can participate in FW functions and get credit for them. Much thought has gone into the set up of FreeWorlds in its infancy stage for the EH. With the help of HA Priyum, Marcus Cain, AD Sarin, AD Turtle to name a few, FW will have its home in the TC this week. The ISD Predator will be opened for the FW platform. The reason for choosing this ship is A) the ASF is a MP BG, though I realize that every BG MP's, on paper the EH recognizes the ASF as the MP unit. B) it will make it easier to track progress if there is an ISD where all FW players are rather then have them spread across the fleet in Squadrons. (This can change after the trial period which will be approx 6 months) C) The Burnout server requires a specific set up as mentioned by Marcus Cain and Priyum. Once the 6 months trial period is over I will discuss the progress with the BGCOM's to determine if squadrons for each BG should be made FW squadrons. Also by that time JTL will be available. Along with this the use of clones will be allowed for the ISD Predator for members who wish to remain in their current positions. When the clones are created in the notes field it will be required that the profile is for FW, and your existing pin and name be included so I can make the appropriate notes in the DB. This will only be allowed for FW and eventually JTL. ECHO CO on the Deadalus will be the official FW Training CO. All of this will go into effect once the training requirements are finished and the FW IWATS course is completed. Currently IWATS Core and the FW IWATS Courses will be a requirement for the CO. Another issue is the conduct over Mirc and the MB's. I would like everyone to take into account that we have a wide range of Ethnic, Gender and age groups in this club. Be mindful! I've established a very good working relationship with the SO and have already worked out a few speedbumps over the past few weeks. If any problems are witnessed, please notify your superiors, the COMM and myself so we can determine if the SO will get involved. Processing has remained the goal of my administration. I have still maintained a fast turn around for all requests coming into my office, and AD Reaper has done an excellent job with the recruits! FO TASKS: War Office: The new WO site has been completed. AD Pel is waiting to work out some server problems and once this is complete, it will be on line. FleetWide COMP: Once the WO Site is up and the rules in place the comp will commence. The BGCOMS have sent in their concerns and questions to the WO and they have hashed out many of them New Platforms: FW's is coming by the end of the week! Still waiting on JTL Wing/Ship Identities: this has taken a back burner to the new platform and the WO reforms. I will get working on this very soon. As you can see three out of four tasks are very near completion! That's all from the Flight Office. In Service.... FA Cyric FO-TCCOM/FA CYRIC/CS-4/SSSD SOVEREIGN
