Commodore's Report #5
30th March 2005
Well my 1st month as COM has flown
by, and although it hasn't been a particularly noteworthy one, at least in
positive terms, it has been a reasonable start. There is still plenty for your
new command staff to do and Ambar, the CMDRs and myself are doing everything we
can, as we can. Activity is still relatively weak in the wing, however we have
seen some good activity from members of Vortex Squadron and some small amounts
of activity from the majority of the other squadrons. I've even seen a couple of
members I've not seen around in ages, coming back to grace our presence, so
things are beginning to look up!
Enjoy the report!
- Due to Sarin being named XO last weekend, Cyric is
now after a new CA:FO. If you think you have what it takes and are interested,
read the requirements on the TC news page (posted Sat, May 21st) and send
an application to Cyric. The position of COO is now open too, details are on the
TC news page.
- The TAC Office has completed it's latest bug search,
Operation Anteater. They're also after more Testers and have announced a new
'all encompasing' IWATS course is on the way....busy little beavers the
TACs!
- The SCO site mirror is apparently down permanently. As such, do not
use the sco.emperorshammer.net address anymore. The new mirror is set at http://sco.minos.net/.
- Imperial Storm
started on Saturday, and by Monday we had an engagement with the Sith forces.
Unfortunately we lost that encounter, but there is still a long way to go and we
will do better next time I'm sure. Stay tuned for more info as the competition
rages on!
- New battles/missions released this week!: XvT-Free 189, 190, 191,
BoP-Free 34, XWA-Free 118 and 119. Fly 'em!
- The COMM has also announced
that he's a lazy bugger and is now after a COMMA, or slave :P If your interested
in working closely with Joey (*shudder*), go ahead and apply :P
Ship News;
- Closure of Valkyrie Squadron: The biggest
piece of wing news this week is the closure of Valkyrie Squadron. Due to falling
numbers and loss of Mitim as CMDR (amongst other things) I made the
decision that for the good of the wing I had to close Valkyrie Squadron. All
members have been spread across the remaining squadrons by Cyric. I sincerely
hope that this will be a temporary thing and in the not to distant future we see
Valkyrie open and back to strength once again.
- Open CMDR
positions: AGAIN!!!! I hear you all say. Well yes, until these
positions are filled I will be reminding you all (and anyone else bored
enough to read this) about the open CMDR positions in Phoenix and Odin. I
do have some other news though this week, with Ambar and I receiving a couple of
applications for the positions. I'm also expecting at least one more within the
next week, so if all goes well we may very well have both CMDR positions filled
by week's end! HOORAH!
-
Imperial Storm: Yup, it's on again and it's going on as we
speak. Unfortunately we lost our first engagement against the Sith, but lets
make sure that it will be our last loss. I'm hoping that as the comp goes on we
will get a bit more of a public heads up on this, as we were (or I was at least)
caught a little flat footed on this last round. Everybody be ready to fight for
the ASF, as we will need to do well from hereon in to ensure we're in a
commanding position towards the end of the competition.
- Roster
updating: I've spoken to Ambar and he's in the process of updating the
official Wing Roster. CMDR's, if any of you notice he has missed anything,
please make the change yourself if possible, or let Ambar know so he can change
it. I've updated the roster on the Wolfpack website, Ambar and I have got access
and it will be used regularly for news and other stuff. If you are new to the
wing, or forgotten, it can be found at http://wolfpack.tiecorps.net/ - update
bookmarks accordingly. This, our websites and our database pages are our
first visual points of contact for potential members, and/or cadets trying to
choose a wing, so I want everything up to date. To that end, if anyone sees
anything that is out of date, please let your next in command know so it can be
rectified!
- Websites: This brings me to my next
point.....websites. I know currently we dont have all our CMDR positions filled,
but within the next month, once filled, I want all Squadron websites online and
at least somewhat regularly used. I dont expect CMDRs to be posting news on them
every day, but I do want them well kept and presented. Ambar is chasing up
access details for all the existing squadron websites and any we can't get
access for will be replaced. I must congratulate Vortex CMDR Keiran for
regaining access to his squads website and getting it up to date so quickly.
Hopefully, we can get all the other websites online and up to date just as
quickly.
- Open FL positions: Okay, it has been a well
known fact for some time now that Cyric will not place cadets into squadrons
without all their FL positions filled. So guess what? Any that are open are to
be filled by CMDRs as soon as they find a suitable candidate. Any open spots in
squads without a CMDR will be handled by myself, and if I cannot find/appoint
someone before time, it will become the new CMDRs responsibility.
-
Phoenix CMDR: Unfortunately, due to no activity and no contact,
I had to step down CM Shivor Dahr this week from CMDR of Phoenix Squadron. I do
not expect CMDRs to be around every day and fly every single week, but I do at
the absolute least expect weekly reports and some form of
activity from the leaders of our squadrons. I really do not like doing this, so
dont force me to by becoming derelict in your duties. Keiran, Hex and Trent,
keep up the great work guys!
- Recruiting: Yup, this will stay in my weekly
reports until we start getting some! As I've said every report, when/if you get
the time try and recruit through forums, MP gaming on BSC etc or you can
always use the tried and true routes of offering help to cadets and trying to
coax RSV's outta retirement. We need active new or returning members to boost
our numbers and help us to remain in our rightful place as biggest and best ship
in the ASF!
- MSEs: As I mentioned last week, the end of
the month is almost upon us, and that means MSEs! The deadline is June 3rd,
US-EST. Please make sure that you send them to Ambar on time, as Gidda doesn't
want us dragging our feet getting them through to him and Ambar and I dont want
to waste time getting nice shiny medals recommended for our active
pilots!
