Short report. Long holiday weekend coming up for those of us in the USA.
Squadron News:
- Sovereign Squadron League 2004 Quarterfinals are completed.
We had excellent TIE participation and dismal XWA participation. XWA-DB 5 turned out to be very frustrating for the last-minute fliers around here.
- Stand by for the start of Imperial Storm V!
(yes, finally! this is not a drill! this is not a drill!)
(whispers to Proton: right?)
- Missing medals and IWATS courses have been submitted.
Squadron Orders:
- Take a break for a few days until the SSL Semifinals results are announced.
- Medals/IWATS: please check to see everyting is up to date. Most but perhaps not all IWATS courses have been processed.
- XvT Week or War on battlestats.com, this is ongoing... isn't it? http://combat.tiecorps.net
EH-wide News:
- Known bug report with EHBL:
If you load a battle, but the right battle doesn't load:
(you get the original Battle 1 or the last battle you played)
The .lfd (TIE) or .lst (XWA/XvT) file for that battle is missing.
If encountered, please post a bug report stating as such.
- New TIE Corps survey up, would you use a squadron mailing list? (such as omegasquadron@ehtiecorps.org) This would be a "real" mailing list, rather than the current "pasted everyone's addresses" into the e-mail header).
Activity Reports:
CMDR/GN Brian - flew TIE-TC 214 for Sov Squadron League.
FM/GN Compton - no activity.
FL/COL Ixion Deathbringer - flew XWA-DB 5 for Sov Squadron League.
FM/LC Yoman - flew TIE-TC 214 for Sov Squadron League.
FL/MAJ Artyis - Running Sov Squadron League, flew XWA-DB 5 for SSL...
FM/COL Todbringer - running Sov Squadron League...
FWIW, regarding squadron mailing lists noted above, I really don't care either way. We've long had the option to use one ourselves as provided by omegasquadron.org ... so... whatever you feel like. :)
XWA participation this round was extremely disappointing. Turns out Mission 1 was a pain-in-the-butt. Furthermore, without the XWA s-foil patch to allow you to fly the GUN, some (such as myself) couldn't even start the mission, and I know I didn't figure out why until it was almost too late. Then I ran up against Mission 1, spent an hour on it, and gave up when it became clear that I was never going to have time to fly the whole battle. :-/
Next round, IF we make it, we need to do better. I know I WILL do better. (unless there are more bugs. heh...)
