• Ranger Squadron has a new homepage! After 2 weeks of hard work I've finally put together a decent site. The url is:http://digilander.iol.it/ranger31/. Any comments, advice or critics are welcome, just use the proper submission form in the CMDR Office section :P

• FCHG: LCM Matheson reached the Hussar rank.

• TAC released many Free-XWA missions this week. I suggest you to fly them all because they're very good and fun. Moreover FXWA-25 has been updated and corrected.

• IWATS needs a mere 200 more graduates to hit the big 10,000 mark. This is why I suggest you all to complete a IWATS course this week. A full list of available courses is at http://www.imperialacademy.org/courses.asp

• ECR 4 - Phase #1: Fiction: I haven't received any submission, this is not good. I really hope to see more participation in the next phase.

• Ranger Ace: this week we'll have another round of our internal competition. You are to fly FXWA-33 (attached) and your pilot files are to be in my mailbox by Saturday (01.10.01).
