FLIGHT OFFICE REPORT #25 FA Cyric reporting on March 26,2004 The TC membership count is up to 1,696 members. Of this number here is the current makeup of the Tie Corps: SSSD Sovereign [101] Wing I [27] Wing II [32] Wing III [20] Wing IV [21] TIE Corps Battlegroups [107] ISD Colossus [30] Wing VIII [29] ISD Relentless [25] Wing IX [24] ISD Challenge [29] Wing X [28] ISD Immortal [22] Wing XI [21] Aggressor Strike Force [135] ISD Grey Wolf [55] Wing XIII [54] ISD Intrepid [40] Wing XIV [39] ISD Vanguard [39] Wing XV [38] Avenger Task Force [103] SSD Avenger [68] Wing XVIII [35] Wing XIX [32] ISD Subjugator [34] Wing XX [33] Currently there are 446 members in the Tie Corps not including the Elite squadron totals. Three Wings under 25 pilots while the rest hover around 30 or so members or more. I'd like to have all wings with at least 25 or more members, so the goal of the wings with less than 25 should be to create a highly active atmosphere through competition to attract more members... This being said, the Cadet Placement page is up on the Flight Office Site http://flightoffice.minos.net. Once at the site, go to the left side menu and click on the cadet placement link. I've had the BGCOM's go over the page and they have accepted it. The page lays out what platform each wing and ship in the TC hosts, and gives a list of squadrons in the TC that are in need of members. My goal is to have the Cadets view this page and see if they would fit into a slot on one of the low membered squadrons. It does not take the place of recruitment, but is a guideline for the Cadets to follow should they be unsure of where to go. With my work load demand in RL, many of you are well aware of my inability to attend the TC meetings and some EH meetings from week to week. Though I can always be reached by mail, and have a few hours of turn around time, I do feel that the meetings are important. This being said, VA Styles has agreed to step aside as FOA, both due to his CA:TAC duties and my need for a consistent emissary for the meetings. For his service to the FO as FOA, I have awarded him a Silver Star of the Empire. Thanks Styles! VA Khadgar has been named the new FOA, and his primary duty is to attend the EH meeting as my emissary should I not be able to attend and to moderate the weekly TC meetings. This From the Science Office: For Imperial Alliance, the game we are working on, we need graphics of your unit and squadron patches. These you will then be able to use in-game. The graphics requirements are: Graphics need to be 2d (front view, not under an angle) preferably 128x128 or larger. (can be smaller, but then it will be displayed smaller as well) Any graphics file format. Approved by either OPS or the unit commanding officer. Currently we already have old patches of the ASF, Butcher, Cobra, Copperhead, Dagger, Fury, the ISD Intrepid, the ISD Vanguard, Kappa, Krayt, Mantis, Psi, Python, Scorpion, Spectre, the SSD Avenger, Storm, Tartarus, Theta, Valkyrie and Wasp. If you don't want your own unit or squad to be left out, or think you have a newer graphic then already used - send your graphics to The Science Office (DCC also accepted.) I highly recommend that all units in the TC furnish these to the SO. This game looks quite interesting and your units should be represented! The Combat Operations Office has released the Multi Subgroup Ladder System. This website allows any members of the EH to create and organize a multiplayer ladder competition. Any Flags interested in using the system can contact me to get started. You can find the website at http://ladders.minos.net. This is a great tool and should be utilized for your MP events! My Rant of the week: Recently there was an issue of a Commander being removed from position by his flags, for perceived abuse of the AWOL procedure and for failing to use the Chain of Command properly. I want to reiterate to everyone here and now, that the Flag officers of each ship and from the BGCOM of the BG's have the authority to remove any pilot from a position, that they deem to be doing a sub par job, or if they violate any of the AoW codes of conduct. It is their decision, and if push comes to shove, I will ultimately decide on the side of the Flag Officers unless there are mitigating circumstances. I encourage all pilots to view the FSO's, and the SoP's of their ships. Learn them and live by them! That's it from the Flight Office.... In Service.... FA CYRIC FO-TCCOM/FA CYRIC/CS-4/SSSD SOVEREIGN
