Thought for the Week
"We've looked at the whole Solar System:
Mars, Venus, the Moon - you can list 'em.
Wherever we roam,
There's nobody home.
Perhaps they stepped out, and we missed 'em?"
Squadron News
Greetings all!
Well, the Supremacy Competition is over, and we didn't win (no real surprise there)... We didn't loose either, but overall performance was poor! Only two members of our squadron were active enough to score points, while the rest just stood by and watched. What's wrong with you guys (you know who you are)?!?? Surely it isn't THAT difficult to do something, anything at all, when you've got a whole month to do it?
Apart from a single participant in the "Out of Time" competition, no one bothered to submit something for the squadron-based competitions either! If no-one comes up with a new nickname and motto for our squadron, and designing a new banner is too difficult, I guess I will have to do it myself... (*Evil grin*)
As for the overall lack of activity: you've got one more week to shape up (or give me a really good reason why you are unable to be active), or heads will role!
Congratulations go to captain Marc Kendoran, since he is the new Flight Leader of flight 2! Well done Marc; you are an example for the rest of the crew!

Build More Custom Battles and Missions
RA Frodo
I've noticed recently that fewer and fewer new people try and create missions. I think that its because that we have alot of tutorials, and many means to learn how to create missions but few pilots know where to find them. For this reason I have decided to remind you all of the following links:
XvT mission Creation courses: http://www.imperialacademy.org/xtm/
TIE mission creation courses: http://www.imperialacademy.org/tiemiss/
XWA Mission Creation course: http://jmcx97.club.fr/xam/index.html
Mission Creation Editors (all platforms): http://www.minos.net/~sco/file.html
Mission Creation Tutorials: http://www.isdcolossus.com/tacdb/beta/tutorials.htm
The Tactical Manual: http://servelarge.no-ip.com/~frothyt/tacman3
Custom Battle Submission Form: http://www.isdcolossus.com/tacdb/beta/batsubmit.asp
I hope this helps! Now please get creating, there's still an IS-PR and GR to be won for February and for March aswell! The most battles and frees win! (Minimum of 3 battles, minimum of 5 frees)
New Mission Released
RA Frodo
XvT pilots rejoyce! For XvT Free 176 has been released.
Just a small note to all who beta-tested this mission, send your pilot file to me.
Reminder about Patches
FA Ender mBind
Since one of our COMs will just not believe the cheating policy, TAC-manual or anything unless I post it here again: You are NOT allowed to use ANY patches you cannot get from the TAC or SCO sites. If you do anyway and this is detected - this will be punished as cheating. Outside patches will also NEVER be approved for EH use, just like we'll never approve outside missions.
