<SALUTE>

Since the introduction of the ISM Points activity has been at an all time high, at least under my command. There were several contenders this week, but I have chosen the winners (See the end of the report for the results). We are well on our way to getting the WC's own for March so lets keep it up. 

The highest note for this week is the promotion of Vladimir Corax from LT to LCM. He has been a long standing member of Python Squadron so be sure the send him a letter of congratulations. Hopefully, we will have several more promotions in the near future. 

Next week look forward to fiction at the beginning of these reports, these will be the product of CPT Vallyn. With any luck he will be able to create missions to go along with these works of fiction, and we will have a legacy for us all.

 And now, on with the report :)

Battlegroup Commander Promotions
13:21 - FA Priyum Patel [spellfire@btinternet.com]
I'm very pleased to be able to announce that with the Fleet Commander's approval, Battlegroup Commanders Vice Admiral Mell and Vice Admiral Jeff 'Tiger' Loruss, have both been promoted to the rank of full Admiral! Both of these Officers are without doubt amongst the hardest working in the EH, and these promotions are extremely deserved. Congrats guys! :)

Tactical Officer on leave
13:19 - FA Striker [striker@tiecorps.org]
I'll take a leave until March 31st, my Command Attaché Vice Admiral Marcin Szydlowski will be in charge of the office in the meantime. Email both of us for any TAC-related stuff. I will be around though, taking care of BSFs but not on a daily basis. Right now I can't process them due to some remaining bugs with the database move. See you later...

Immortal Commodore
13:12 - FA Priyum Patel [spellfire@btinternet.com]
At the end of last week, Vice Admiral Toran Dan announced his resignation as Commodore of the ISD Immortal, and transferred to the Reserves. Toran was not only an excellent COM, but a respected member of the Fleet, and his presence will be missed. In recognition of the tireless support he gave his Ship and Battlegroup, he has been awarded with the Gold Star of the Empire.

Without wasting any time, a new COM has already been selected. Many congratulations go out to the now former Immortal WC, Rear Admiral Darksaber!

Wing Commander Promotions
13:04 - FA Priyum Patel [spellfire@btinternet.com]
The following Sovereign Wing Commanders have been promoted for their hard work over the course of the past several months:

Lieutenant Colonel Jahan Kalar, Wing III WC - promoted to Colonel
Colonel Reaper, Wing IV WC - promoted to General
Colonel Sickman, Wing V WC - promoted to General

Congrats! :)

New Episode II Trailer
08:25 - CM Master [capt_master@hotmail.com]
The new Star Wars Episode II Trailer called "Clone War" airs March 10 on FOX and starwars.com between original episodes of "Malcolm in the Middle" (8:30-9:00 PM ET/PT) and "The X-Files" (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT).

The trailer will also begin playing in cinemas on March 15, exclusively with the animated feature Ice Age, and other films thereafter.

Wing IV Defeats Wing V In Grudge Match
08:23 - VA Proton [Hullbreach@aol.com]
In a competition using TIE-FCHG Battle 3, COL Reaper's pilots bested the Wing V bunch led by COL SickMan. LC Halcyon of Teth and MAJ Yoman of Mem were the individual top pilots for their respective wings. Congratulations to Wing IV and the medal winners! Oh, one more thing: Because his wing lost, CM Murkrow Defender had to give up his infamous prank monkey. Wing IV promptly barbecued the pest and enjoyed the fixin's as a cantina snack.

RE: Reporting errors
00:38 - SA Astatine [jpboyce@indigo.net.au]
The web server software that this site runs on usually gives very detailed error messages as to what the problem is relating to an error. However, by default, Internet Explorer suppresses these detailed reports, instead displaying a generic "Error 500" message. In IE 6, to turn on these detailed messages, go to Tools>Internet Options. Then select the Advanced tab. Under the Browsing heading is an item called "Show friendly HTTP error messages". You want that unchecked if you want the detailed error reports to come up.

New Jedi Knight 2 trailer
06:08 - SA Astatine [jpboyce@indigo.net.au]
A second trailer for Jedi Knight 2 has been released and this one is pretty good. Twice the length of the one on the Lucasarts site, it gives a very nice indication of the scale of the levels we can expect, the gameplay and what multiplayer will look like. The good thing is it doesn't seem to play like a Quake 3 mod. You can get it at http://files.ausgamers.com/?agn=details&id=1621. The trailer is 14.6megs and a zipped AVI file, using the Divx codec.
