How cool is to be a Kappan? ;)
Squadron News
- Major news this week concern the Victory! we achieved against Wing X's Cyclone Squadron. I'm really glad that you all still have the Kappa spirit in you. It was a really close call, and we've won by only 2000 points. Do we rule or what? ;) Full results on Misc section.
- Once again, medal frenzy for Kappa! CM Ninjawolf (kewl new name, dude! :p) LT Reb Crush and LT Tempest received nice LoAs for the inclusion of their INPRs on the latest newsletter. And someone who I'm not naming but is in command of you all and usually steals from your money accou...erm nothing...well, that person got an IS-BW (Iron Star-Bronze Wings) for getting the top score in Kappa vs Cyclone. Yay yay!!
- As you have noticed, CM Ninja has taken the Manimal way (do ANY of you remember that series? :p) and he became a talking-MIS piloting wolf. And he's now known as CM Ninjawolf. So, save some doggie bags from your meal for him :p
-The Wing II Pilot League has started!! Yay!! 7 Kappans are in!! Boys let's show why we rule around here...Get you feet moving towards some arse.
-With the recent change of recruiting policies, the Kappa Cadet Guide has become a top priority project for us. We need submissions from all of the squadron to show how cool we are.
-Revamped looks for the WSR... I was bored :p
-This week's Ol' Roasty's word o' advice: "Jessica Alba, the girl playing Dark Angel is HOT. I know, it's not an advice, but I couldn't resist. :p"

- The Invisible Enemy
Fan Films have hit a new low. "The Invisible Enemy" is a Blair Witch knock-off of stormtroopers doing a survey of Endor's forest moon. You see and hear some of the worst actors and voice overs that'll have you ripping your hair out and grinding your teeth and wondering why the hell you wasted your time downloading 45 megs of crap. The credits have several people under the "voice talent" category, but it's all lies...these people don't have talent...
It was a funny idea, but...yuck...if you're feeling masochistic...here:

- Iron Star conversion chart
For all those with competitions running now, use this conversion chart to recommend/award the appropriate type of medal.
Old System New System
Copper Ribbon Bronze Wings
Nickel Ribbon Silver Ribbon
Bronze Ribbon Silver Wings
Silver Ribbon Gold Ribbon
Gold Ribbon Gold Wings
Platnium Ribbon Platnium Wings
- New Iron Star system
The new Iron Star system has been programmed into the database. Here's how it works:
The Iron Star is awarded for winning a Training Office-approved competition. There are two types of add-ons depending on the type of competition. For all Flying competitions, Wings are awarded. For all Non-Flying competitions, Ribbons are awarded. The type of Wings or Ribbon awarded is dependent on the size of the competition.
Bronze - 1st place in a competition involving at least 6 pilots, runner-up award for Silver competitions, 3rd place/participating award for Gold or Platnium competitions
Silver - 1st place in a competition involving 4 or more squadrons or task units, 2nd place award for Gold or Platnium competitions
Gold - 1st place in a competition involving 3 or more wings/task forces.
Platinum - Training Office competition
Wings are worth FCHG points (1,3,5,10 pts respectively) but Ribbons are not.
Now, some people received awards during the first run of the Iron Star change. Your medal has been converted to the appropriate type. Check your personnel profile to see.
The FCHG point system hasn't been updated yet. I will be changing it today in an effort to redo and fix the FCHG system on the database without having to rely on moving to the new server.
- Star Wars Quake DM Test 1 released
Posted from http://swtc.telefragged.com/news.shtml:
I really don't think I have to elaborate here. DM test 1 has been released. Check the files section for details. A few comments though. We have limited the scope of this DM test on purpose to better focus on the core design of the TC, namely force use, saber use, and weapon use together with player movement. Therefore the lack of levels among other things. Don't worry though, this is where DM #2 will make your day =) Untill the however, why not do some mapping or modeling for you favorite mod? The Star Wars Universe surely offers a plethora of ideas... In any case, feel free to comment on the mod and send me bug reports or thought. I'm just happy we finally released something. Best of wishes.
Star Wars Quake is about 25 MB large and requires Quake II v3.20 to play. Download it here: http://swtc.telefragged.com/files.html
The Quake II v3.20 patch can be downloaded here: http://www.planetquake.com/quake2/files.shtml
- Duality - Fan Film
High quality Fan Film here! Actually, a lot of it is showing off the graphic design talents of a team of two guys, but it's amazing what just two people can do! The film is completely shot on blue-screen and shows off stunning special effects and beautifully rendered digital sets.
It comes in low-res (320) and hi-res (480) versions which are pretty big in size, but worth the download!
