TC/ID/Praetorian News:
Praetorian has reached the 417th squadron citation mark with Ric & Torres's flying activity this week! Thanks for your efforts of late! The official citation record stands somewhere between 413 thru 418 squadron citations set by Krayt squadron and we shall soon surpass that!
Ric Taldrya finaly earned the rank of full Colonel (COL) after serving 11 months in Prae. Congratz' Ric! (he's also the first official Praetorian I've had promoted to Colonel- I had COL Shae Kitane's rank restored after the database crash last year- but thats not quite the same thing);p.
June 22nd marked my 1st year served as the Praetorian CMDR! It's been fun serving as Prae CMDR, and I don't intend to step down anytime soon either;p.
If you have any gfx or fiction on file (not previously submitted to the EH Newsletter) or create new fiction or gfx feel free to send them to FA Khadger (khadgar1@shaw.ca) for EH Newsletter 108. I've submitted quite a few things for the TC/ID/Tactical Office & EHDB already over the past week or so.
*Note: if you do write fiction for the EHNL check out the competition guidelines listed on the MB: http://mb.emperorshammer.net/viewtopic.php?p=14477 (for the Great Works competition).
AD Frodo March just released XWA-TC49, FXvT192, FXvT193, and FTIE257 today & released FXWA123 (Drak's mission as DGM- Frodo's first XWA mission) & XWA-TC48 earlier this week, if you have the time I reccomend flying the battle- it's kind of the EH version of "Pirates of the Carribean." :p.
The new TAC Office FCHG comp is now underway- for those Praes who have mission design skills I encourage you to try- a IS-PR is up for grabs!
http://www.ehtiecorps.org/competitions/details.asp?ID=2023 & http://ehtiecorps.org/tac/tac-man/fchg.html detials of the comp can be found in the links.
Also, a new version of the S-foils patch for XWA is available here: http://www.ehtiecorps.org/tac/tac-man/xwasfoilupdate.exe (from the latest TAC office report).
Flight Deck:
561 Battles and 616 Free Missions
3590 total custom missions online!
maybe its just my pc, but mission 4 of TIE-TC167 keeps locking up in the mission loading phase- be advised.
when loading TIE-TC182 in the EHBL it causes the EHBL to crash.
in TIE-ID2 mission 4 the friedly capital ship Ardent is not in the mission at all on easy making it incompletable; however, on medium the Ardent is present- no clue whats up here;p.
mission four of XWA-TC46 (on medium) is incompletable (easy works just fine though).
keep posting the bugs! (I do report this to AD Frodo March & VA Master so they're aware of any problems with battles or free missions).
Praetorian Orders:
-participate in the June competitions (scroll down);p.
-post on the Prae (and other) MB- the person who posts the most or is most influential in promoting discussion will earn the Prae Medal of Communication (MoC) for the month!
-Monthly flying requirements are in place: It's a mandatory requirement to fly at least one battle or four free missions a month, I will allow you to fly MP matches in place of the missions if you wish (I'm easy to work with usually);p.
*note: Ignore the recruitment orders until after we break the squadron citations record! ;p.
-Recruit, our numbers are fairly steady: however, if you know of any exemplary pilots who meet our requirements feel free to let me know about them. Remember our requirements for being accepted to take the Prae trials are the rank of LCM with 400 FCHG; however, for a full status Prae it's still CM with at least 500 FCHG.
http://praetorian.rawx.net/join.php (the only exception to this rule I'm allowing is former Prae's who served more than three months; however, they must still have the min required FCHG of 500). We are an elite squadron after all.
-work on improving your own personal FCHG levels- remember we do have a few squadron specific rewards related to this! ;p.
For every 10 squadron citations you earn for Prae I will recommend you for a Imperial Security Medal (ISM).
