Cobra Squad Weekly Report

Greetings,

Once again it's time for another weekly report from your beloved CMDR.

Cobra News

Both Frodo and Gidda have comps out. Participation is vital for BOTH comps. I would like to show the rest of the Wing what a Squad with just a handfull of pilots can do.

Recruiting. We are currently down to 5 pilots and need to start picking our numbers up. I would like ALL of us to put forth an effort and start offering the new CTs some help completing their training. Never underestimate what a little help can do.

Cobra Squad now has a FL position available. If you think you're qualified to do the job, send in your application to ge_phantom2002@yahoo.com.

TIE Fighter Ship Patch Released!
08:26 - AD Ender mBind [mindb_ender@hotmail.com]

Today saw the release of the "Emperor's Hammer Ship Patch" for TIE fighter '95.
This patch adds the Shipyard, Repairyard, Medium Transport, Communications Relay, Sensor Array, Astromech, Gunplatform, Large Gunplatform, Laser Battery, Super Star Destroyer and Pilot to TIE95. It fixes the bug in TIE Fighter that keeps Imperial Star Destroyers from firing their lasers.
The patch can be installed together with other patches and kept installed permanently as it does not replace any existing Craft.

This patch replaces the earlier "ISD Lasers Patch" for TC flying. Go check it out on the Patch Archive.

Design The XO Site Competition
05:53 - SA Astatine [jpboyce@indigo.net.au]

The current XO site isn't very good and hasn't been updated for a while. By the nature of the office, the XO site should be a nexus for some very important information within the EH. To address this, I'll need a new design, as the current one (at http://www.emperorshammer.net/xo/) is pretty basic.
The basis of the competition will be to design a "template" for the site, which should include graphics, menu elements, etc. The menu items on the current site can be used as a guide for the template. Everything else is left to your creative whims. Final submissions can either be hosted online, with the URL emailed to me, or the files themselves can be emailed to me. Submissions close on 30th November. The competition is open to all EH members. First place gets an Iron Star Gold Ribbon (or subgroup equivilant). Second and third, if up to scratch, will get a Iron Star Silver Ribbon and Iron Star Bronze Ribbon respectively. Submissions should be sent to xo@emperorshammer.org with the subject of "I have l33t w3b skillz".

Well, that's it. Let's start picking up the activity a bit. There are a couple of comps out there that you can participate in. Also, if it's MPing that you crave, you can fly in the MPing IRC channel at #ehcoc. You never know what can happen in there.
