Pilot's Lounge


"This administration is doing everything we can to end the stalemate in an efficient way. We're making the right decisions to bring the solution to an end." - Washington, D.C., April 10, 2001

"Do something, Khadgar!"
"Quiet, Droole!"
Khadgar slowly navigated his way through the lag field, generated by the LucasArts fighters.
"Wait, I have an idea, Khadgar!"
"What is it?"
"Perhaps if we modified the ship, we could make ourselves immune to the effects of lag."
Droole opened a compartment on the ship, "Look, this shiponly runs on a 56k access rate!"
Droole pulled out a Cable Modem, "I will put this Cable Modem, developed by @Home, into our ships systems, it should make us immune to the lag."
"Do it, Droole!"
After a few minutes, the ship was at normal speeds, and we started to loose the trailing fighters.
"Haha, we did it, Droole!"
Just then, a light marked "Cable" started to flash, the ship came to a hault. "Aaaaggghhhh!" Khadgar grunted, "What happened?"
"The @Home Network is down, they're probably doing more upgrades!"
"Well, that's just great! What now?"
"Wait, the Cable light is flashing, we might be back in business..."
The Cable light lit up again, and the ship came back online with a jolt.
"Computer, set course for Eras Du'kai's asteroid!"
We sped towards the asteroid at "Lite Speed" (I think Light Speed is probably copyrightted by now. :)
However, after two minutes, the cable light started flashing again and the ship came to a hault. (Khadgar's note: Now you know how I feel, my internet has been doing this the whole day! :P)
After a five minute wait, the ship was back on course.

The ship headed in fast at Eras Du'kai's asteroid.
As he got to the entrance, the door entered, and Khadgar came down for a landing.
"Wait a minute, this happened last time and we ended up in trouble..."
Khadgar sat and pondered, and finally pressed a button on the control pad.
"Why did you do that?" Droole said.
"Well, last time we came to this asteroid, some thugs were hidden in the back of the ship, I just filtered some laughing gas into the back compartment."
Suddenly we heard a laughing coming from the back.
I went to the back of the ship to see the same thugs as before, but they were on the ground laughing and rolling around.
"Ah ha, the gas worked."
One of the guards said whie laughing, "No, George W. Bush just made another speech!"
Khadgar looked at a monitor, and after a few minutes, got down on the floor and started rolling on the floor laughing (ROTFL).
After rolling on the floor laughing for awhile, Khadgar and Droole proceeded into the asteroid...

To be continued once again! :P

From the Wing XV Monastery:


Monk Mordack - Don't mess with the monastery. >:)

"The monastery is under attack by Rebels!" Monk Mordack said.
Cardinal Khadgar picked pointed his gold staff at Mordack, "Go, summon the tribe, we must protect the monastery!"
"Of course, your eminance!" Mordack said, hurrying away.
Khadgar walked up into the fields and glanced up into a tree.
An Ewok blew a horn, and seemingly out of no where, an entire legion of Ewok Warriors appeared.
Monk Mordack yelled out, "The Rebels are coming, the Rebels are coming!"
Suddenly, a large group of Rebel troops came out of the forest.
One raised his blaster and shot a bolt at Cardinal Khadgar.
Khadgar blocked with his gold staff and walked towards the Rebel.
The Rebel raised his blaster again, but it was hit down by the gold staff.
The Rebel said, "You can't hurt me, I have 2 months of experience!"
Khadgar muttered, "I was in the Empire before you were born," and hit the Rebel with his gold staff, putting him out of the fight.

Suddenly, Khadgar felt a tap on the back of his knee.
He turned around and looked down to see an Ewok.
"Chief Ender! I must say, tribe XV is doing well in the battle."
Ender bowed and said something in Ewok, roughly translating to, "I am honored, Cardinal, we will prevail over the Rebels."
Suddenly, I heard a loud battlecry... "FOR CORRUPTION - FOR BRIBERY - FOR GREAT JUSTICE - FOR THE REPUBLIC!!!!!" and saw three detachments of Rebel troops charge out position.
Khadgar waved his gold staff, and created a wall in front of the charging troops, knocking them down.
The Ewoks didn't have a very good command of the English language, so their battlecry was: "ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US!"
One of the Rebels yelled out, "What, you say?" but was hit by a rock launched from a catapault.

The remaining Rebels were driven back by the Ewok tribe, earning the gratitude of the monastery...
However, the Rebels pledged to "destroy the monastery from within" as they retreated!

Fleet News

  • Congrats to the Flight Officer, Priyum Patel (Batman), who was promoted to Fleet Admiral!
  • The Tatical Office has made a change to Tactical Order #001. Reasons attached to BSFs will not be considered Bug Reports! Specific instructions will be posted in the Tatical Manual. Hey, I thought I was the only one who actually did those reports, and I didn't think that anyone actually read them... Ah well. :)
  • Grand Admiral Ronin updated the EH Domain with the latest Fleet News and the results of the EH Logo Contest!
  • Another fan film based on some 80s movie called "The Goonies" (http://www.rainbowanimations.com/animations/slothtv3.html)... What, you say?
  • AlliED 1.56 was released! http://homepages.picknowl.com.au/troyd/... Although, it only has some more Super Star Destoryer wireframes... Hmmm.
  • Our fun-filled TO is annoyed at everyone again! This time it is because apparently people are trying to award Iron Stars without good reason! Competitions with the highest scoring person from each squadron getting a IS-BW and where the CMDR of the winning squadron gets an award will be denied. *Waves his finger* Tisk, Tisk...
  • Some Quake III mod was cancelled... Join the 21st Century and play Counter-Strike, people!

    Wing News

  • Remember, I will be on leave from Sunday the 15th until Thursday the 19th.
  • Garik Hizad resigned as the ship's Doc, it was a hard decision, but frankly I'm proud that he is concerned chiefly with his squadron. Hizad would like to be Nurse for the new Doc, I'm sure that will happen.
  • If you're interested in Doc... Go do something for your Squadron instead. :P

    War Room

    Vanguard Interactive Battle
    Next Deadline: Unknown
    URL: http://www.gimmie.tudelft.nl/homes/blok10b/ender/vib/
    Description: "The Wing XV Commander will add a piece of a story to his wing reports, together with a XWA Mission based on that part of the story. Participating Pilots in the wing send in their pilot files of that mission to their CMDRs - including a short written fictional account of their experiences in the mission. The CMDRs check the pilot files, forward the scores, the reports and their own files to the Commodore and Wing Commander and include the best fiction of their squadron in their weekly reports. The best fiction in the wing will be taken up in the wing report, arranged into "propaganda"-type news coverage. Medals are awarded to the best flying and to the best writing but also to outstanding activity like helping to run this competition. Flying and fiction both influence the story, and so the missions: the Pilots' performance in one mission has consequences on the next mission they'll fly. Making this a true Interactive Battle with a flexible story line, centered around the ISD Vanguard and it's Squadrons."
    Status: The first turn winner were rewarded, Ender said he will do the ViB related things in his COM Report. We are in need of XWA Mission designers, contact Ender MBind if interested.
