Hello there penguins!

Well,as I’ve mentioned on Discord, I lost 2.1 TB worth of info, including the template I use for these WSRs. How did I get this one? Well I didn’t. I saved the html code and tried to use MS Publisher to do this. I have absolutely no idea whether this ‘d work and I really need time to study and learn html as I used WYSIWYG and that gives me no control over what is going on. Really I should be with my girl but I decided I should pull out these reports. Serve the Empire above all others.
So, RtF is taking place. I’m grounded as I’ve lost my games but I really beg you to put in some time and just have fun with what we’re supposed to do. I know I shouldn’t be asking you things I can’t do but I’ve done them in the past and I’d love to fly once more...please, don’t even do it for me penguins, do it for the team, do it for the unit, do it for Alpha Squadron. We need you in all our platforms!.
Excuse me for sending just one WSR but we didn’t do much and...I’m trying to deliver ASAP. While you fly, I’ll be trying to learn html this month. Hopefully I can come up with a better format next time.

As I said, be on comms, be active or say what are you up to if you're on a LoA but let your CMDR know either you're active or you're busy. Getting along is always good for us so don't be afraid to talk and share with the rest of the unit
SL Ilios produced such a fine piece of work on this standalone mod called 'Embers of the Empire' for X-Wing Alliance. What we have here is a full campaign featuring technical improvements using XWAU plus some of his own work. I truly recommend it: interesting storyline, voice acting, awesome graphics... here https://mega.nz/file/pIQkhTCB#bCXsHynnzQ2jjU0ODrDm-penLpeNaPSgVSqKpRAcJdM also leave your comments here: https://1drv.ms/x/s!AlsTsaEmjwXbfVz4KB6jbwomGSE?e=0B8CC8.
LT Hopfot  completed his profile on the Hammer site here: http://www.isdhammer.org/alpha_roster.html#pilotview2-3  which is truly awesome. I recommend , I invite you to do the same whenever you can (and if you can have a uniform like he does, the better!). Hopfot has also printed Alpha logo on his t-shirt hehe isn't it nice? :D
COL Pryde has been streaming his gameplay. I recommend you follow him on Twitter at: https://twitter.com/PrydeTalons/status/1415378597527920643



 TIE Fighter Sequel/ImperialXWAU Project.

I leave this as a changelog. I'll try to update the mod with the latest reeleases ASAP.

#ChangelogImperialXWA
       18-08-2021   Ilios work fulfilled my gol of showing what can be done with XWAU.  I still plan on building the campaign tho.
       09-08-2021 With TFTC being the basis of the mod, the task ahead is to port previous shipset and try to understand how Babu Friki and Palpatine Total Converter works.
       09-07-2021 TFTC folks are enabling coop for TIE campaign so I no longer need to do that.
       03-07 TFTC released. I'll be using this as the basis for our CP
       02-06-2021
        I believe we can wait on the release of the RebelCP and see if we can combine it with the Imperial Concourse files. I need to talk this with the XWAU team. The rest of the custom craft can be added on demand via hooks. No need to make things complicated.

       31-03-2021
       
        1) Installed GoG XWA
        2) From XWAU site (https://www.xwaupgrade.com/index.php) installed the following:
       
        2.1) 2020 Mega Patch https://www.xwaupgrade.com/download/installers/XWAU2020.exe
       
        2.2) Update 2.0 https://www.xwaupgrade.com/download/installers/XWAU2020update_v2.0.exe
       
        3) Applied XwaExePatcher 1.0.25
        3.1) Craft count per region from 96 to 192.
        3.2) Sound format from 22050 Hz to 96000 Hz
        3.3) Fix gun convergence to AI
        3.4) Remove warhead count of 9
        3.5) Replace laser count from 64 to 256
As for modding, if all works, on XvT we'd be playing the following flight plan:

1) TIE Campaign part I - Battles 1-7 - coop enabled
2) Default XvT/BoP missions - coop enabled

3) BoP campaign - coop enabled

4) TIE Campaign II: battles 8-13 - coop enabled

5) TC PvE - coop enabled missions and battles.
Note: this would do a fine addition to the EHSP. I mean, enable the use of some of the custom craft the EHSP brings in. Plus, the 60 FPS patch and maybe the laser and bloom effects for XvT, not sure. But, I want to include the TIE campaign into it.This guy, Waylon , created a set of conversions from XW, TIE and XvT into XWA. I could adapt those into this version of XWA meanwhile ...until the TFTC is done. The XvT to XWA is a keeper tho. We could use those campaigns there. I mean, should be interesting to test them on DSUCP.
So there will be a lot of PvE for us to do on XvT/BoP.
For XWA I plan for us the following:

1) Converted TIE Campaign - Actually, I could just wait for TFTC, right? Then set them up as coop.

2) Converted XvT/BoP missions - coop enabled

3) Converted BoP campaign - coop enabled

4) (Possibly, need to talk to Yoda) converted XvT/BoP PvE enabled missions/battles - coop enabled
5) Storyline about us, the new canon and some events based on RL I wanted to propose on my fiction - coop enabled as well.
Either way we'd have a lot of PvE activity and I'd like us to try PvP not just with the default craft but also with the custom ones.
Also, whenver you have the time update not just your INPR but consider an article for your character on the wikia.
I'd like very much for us to do this on a weekly basis once it is ready. Possibly friday or saturday, I'd locally record it and post the gameplay to keep a flight record of our deeds as a squadron.
