CMDR/CPT Calvin Nunb - March 31, 2001
<SALUTE>
Squadron News:
ORDERS FOR ALL INFERNO PILOTS:
(1) Fly the Battle for the Inferno versus Spear competition when it's announced.
(2) Participate in the Star Wars gaming survey at http://www.surveyhost.net/swsurv-l if you haven't already. We need to let LucasArts know the qualifications of a decent Star Wars game the EH can actually use :-P.
(3) Add a part of the story in the form of a mission when the Inferno Battle Project Run-on story gets to you. Colonel Jack has the file now; Colonel Torres would be next.
(4) Recruit new pilots to the EH or to Inferno. Read the Flight Officer's policies on recruiting.
...no one remembers any Thunder reports with that purple TIE Defender image in the background? Grr...
INFERNO SQUADRON ECR SUBMISSIONS
Despite Triji Boliv's claim of 100% participation in his Flight report, I got pilot files from all TIE-capable pilots but him :-P. Whether it's a mistake on his end or on mine, I don't have the file, and thus I can't submit it. Congratulations go to Bora Yar and Jack for beating the old high score, and to Inferno as a whole for bravery in a difficult combat situation >:-). The pilot files are attached.
LCM Bora Yar: 177,239
COL Jack: 171,218
CPT Calvin Nunb: 161,751
LCM Edvard: 158,295
COL Torres: 82,110
LT Oskar Holtz: 65,750
LCM Talon Zetar: excused (no T/F)
LCM Triji Boliv: no submission
Submission rate: 6/7 (85.7%).
FLIGHT I CONQUERS WING X HONOR GUARD
Hey, would we have it any other way? Bora Yar has claimed the CMDR spot of the Wing X Honor Guard by almost 40,000 points, while I came in second. Edvard came in at spot eight, defeating all the Wing X CMDRs except me and Hicks :-P. You can view the Honor Guard at http://www.isdchallenge.org/guard.asp.
TALON ZETAR ON THE FRONT LINES AGAIN?
LCM Talon Zetar has sent word that his father in Michigan (Calvin's state :-D) will be sending him a copy of TIE95 in the next couple weeks. It'll be good to once again be at full strength!
INFERNO/SPEAR COMPETITION
The details still aren't finalized, but Krax Tarnisar and I are trying to get things that way soon. The main problem is agreeing on a good battle...
INFERNO WEBSITE (PRELIMINARY)
My main project this week will be the Inferno website. You can view the layout I'm considering at http://www.emperorshammer.ca/inferno2/calv-temp/. That's not a very profound address, which is why I'm considering isdchallenge.org as a hosting alternative. If I do decide to put our webpage up there, you'll have to bear with me as I start learning ASP. Anyway, check things out and give me some comments. There's little to no content, but the layout is a divergence from my old Flight II page. Keep in mind that I might do away with one or both of the top and bottom frames if I find them unnecessary. The ultimate goal would be to create a one-stop resource for Inferno pilots, with vital webpages being no more than a click or two away.
COLONEL JACK IN THE LAND OF THE LIVING
After a troubling period of inactivity to due real life concerns, I'm happy to say that Colonel Jack is back with us; he's flown more than a few missions this week to prove so :-P.

--2. Kawolski fixed a bug in the Combat Calendar on tc.org; apparently comps on the last day of the month display properly now.
--3. Consult http://www.kawolski.com/ for updates regarding the new EH database (which will encompass the TIE Corps database...!).
Fleet News:
--1. AD Keiran Idanian keeps calling the Recon Office the "RECON Office." Nobody really knows why.
--2. As for the "RECON Office" itself, they're hosting a Web Hunt at http://www.ipgv.org/webhunt/. They also have a new domain up at http://www.eh-recon.org/ and as far as I know they're still looking for old members of the Imperial Survey Corps to help restart it.
--3. The Rebellion Tactics course is online at http://www.imperialacademy.org/rebtac/ under the tenure of Commander Predator. Looks a heckuva lot better than when I took the course :-|.
--4. Still no results regarding the EH Logo contest, so I'm assuming you still have time to make submissions.
--5. I'm also guessing that nominations for Mr./Miss EH are still being held at http://www.wam.umd.edu/~manesh/ehmrmiss2001.htm.
