Epsilon Report # 15 (2010-01-09)

This report was submitted by CMDR-TCS/MAJ RichyV/Epsilon/Wing I/ISDII Hammer


Epsilon WSR #15

Pilots of Epsilon.

Firstly, I wish to apologise for not listing the Iron Star medal awards in WSR#14. It seems they had been awarded by the TAC but I received NO email verification (and, in fact, I still haven't...). Anyway, they're listed this time around =)

It's been another good week activity-wise, with 4 of us flying, though I'd like to see more.

Leading by example, our 2 new FL's have both updated their Uniforms (again, I'd like to see more of you do this...), flown several missions & sent in their FL-Reports on-time. Well done to you both on a great start - keep up the good work! =)

When you have time - Recruit, fly, think of a motto/nickname for your Flight, and, above all, have fun...

In Closing:

This month's 'Flier of the Month' is going well with 3 pilots entering Pilot Files already! Glad to see our 2 new FL's joining the fray...

I obviously cannot enter, so I've been occupying my time with getting hold-of and installing both 'X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter' AND it's 'Balance of Power' expansion. I had trouble initially with XvT (though BOP worked fine straight-off) in that I could not 'see' any ships although everything else worked fine. Seems that it was the 3D renderer that was having problems as I had 'updated' to v1.14 and then installed BOP. Of course this isn't necessary as BOP updates XvT automatically. So after an uninstall & fresh install (this time without the 1.14 patch) I can use both fine (eventhough, strangely, I can enable 3D Hardware in BOP, but have to disable it in XvT, oh well...).

Please remember that this is your squadron and the TC is supposed to be fun. I am aware that over time several of you seem to be slowly 'drifting' away, in that I am hearing less and less from you. If there's anything that I can do to make your participation more interesting, please let me know. I don't wish to start processing AWOLs come the end of January, so I'd like to see more participation from as many of you as possible.

Don't forget we also have the 'Student of the Month' Comp running. No takers as yet, but I know that LT Caydin Makarin is looking to take an IWATS Course soon.

In fact, the TC has many Competitions running at the moment, as well as the soon-to-start TIE Golf. Good to see Epsilon Pilots signing-up!=)

Until next time...........

You are dismissed.


Respectfully submitted.

Major RichyV. Commander of Epsilon Squadron.
