Tempest Squadron Weekly Report #28 – 19th of August 2005


***~Introductory Note~***

My computer is back, but due to a virus cleaning operation, I have to install everything again, including TIE. I did reinstall, but now it’s having some problems....it’s too slow, I’m not sure why. I’m asking for FA Den Darkhill’s help, so I hope it is fixed soon.

Tie Corps Summer Patrol has started this week. I suggest all of you flying people to join this competition. You have until tomorrow to fly one of the battles requested. Information on which battle to fly and where and how to submit it can be found at:

http://www.imperialacademy.org/summerpatrol.htm

And don’t forget about our internal competition that’s going on until the end of the month, Tempest Flying Comp – August/05. TC-Tie 220 is to be flown. I have already received two tfrs, and I want more of you flying. This should be considered a priority for you, specially the new pilots.

And yes, we have a new pilot who has come to fill the last remaining position available in Tempest Squadron. Welcome to SL Arani Klojos, who joins Tempest 3-4 position.

We have a full roster now, but sadly I believe we will loose a pilot in the near future. Unless LT Haedaliel contact me in the next few hours, I’ll have to request her AWOL. But if that happens, I’m pretty sure that another pilot will want to join us, right Impulse? :)

Imperial Storm is ending for a long time. I’ll keep you posted on everything new, or check:

***~Squadron News~***

* SL Arani Klojos has joined Tempest Squadron in it’s 3-4 position, coming straight from Platform Daedalus. Welcome SL Arani!!!

* SL Dark Scorpius has flown some battles already, and so has been promoted to Lieutenant. Congratulations, LT Dark Scorius!!!!

* “Tempest Flying Comp – August/05” is running, with a few submissions already being made. I hope a lot more files will come until the end of the month

* Squadron Standing Orders: every week I want you to do one of the following:
- Fly something from the Mission Compendium
- Participate on Tempest Tie Fighter Tactics Workshop: pick a Free-Mission and lets get to it
- Take an IWATS Course
- Write some fiction
- Create a graphic
- Submit something for the Squadron Report (Fiction, graphics, garbage, etc)

* Recruitment
Tempest is already the biggest squadron in the wing, but there will be one spot available in the squadron in the near future....go recruit, and we will make history in the Tie Corps...and you will also get a medal....
I am offering an ISM per recruit (Cadet and RSV's alike) and a PC per 5 recruits, so there’s a chance for you to get lots of medals and to help not only the squad but also the wing.


***~Squadron Orders~***

* Pick a Free mission you want to fly, and tell me if you want help with it’s tactics
* Fly a Free mission......or a battle if you dare
* Take an IWATS course
* Participate on squadron and wing’s competitions
* Participate in the Tempest Flying Comp - August/05


***~Wing/BG News~***

* Congrats to VA Maverick for doing a COM Report :)

* Our COM is running a competition about drinking......what the hell are you doing, Mav? We don’t drink here..........ok......we do.......a lot......actually we are the drunkest Star Destroyer crew ever......

* Following Tempest growth is Cyclone squadron. Congrats to Kate on having 11 pilots already. And so, we are helping Wing X and ISD Challenge on being the greatest ship in the fleet....Soon we will be bigger that SSD Avanger, mark my words :)

***~Competitions Center~***

* Imperial Storm 5
Competition between the Battlegroups. It should be considered a priority!!! I’ll be bugging everybody about this for as long as it runs!!! It is almost over, and we are hanging on...

* Tempest Flying Comp – August/05
Pilots are to fly battle TC-Tie 220 until the end of the month of August. Awards are IS-BW to the highest laserless total score of the battle. An IS-BW will also be awarded to the pilot who gets more individual "wins" at the battle missions (not considering laserless scores - just like the database highscores). In case of a tie at the mission "wins", it will be decided by the highest overall score (not laserless). Deadline is 08/31/2005. Good luck!!!

I will not mention anything here about Summer Patrol, because it is a regularity competition, and so, if you do not fly for week 1, you are already out of the competition. Everybody have until tomorrow to fly for the first week.

SL Arani Klojos, for joining the best squadron ever!!!! And also LT Dark Scorpius, for flying and getting promoted!!!!


***~Ewok of the Week~***

Yub Yub!

Every story has a hero, every journey has a first step, every Fleet has a pilot who's about as much use as an ashtray on a speeder bike. This weeks's Prize Ewok is none other than:

LT Haedaliel, who is about to be AWOL’ed


***~Quote of the Week~***

Jarek: “c’est impossible :P”

We’ll see :)


***~Final Comments~***

I’m very happy with the activity of the squadron these past few weeks. We have a lot of new pilots, who have shown that they can be a great asset to have in the squadron, by flying a lot and with quality, getting a few highscores on the way. Now don’t forget to fly TC-Tie 220 for Tempest Flying Comp. Have a great weekend!!!
