• I'm pleased to see your good participation in Operation Squadron Citations: currently we have 17 citations. The "missing" battles are XWA-15, 16, 17, 19. And don't forget that you can also fly the IW and FCHG battles =)

• Here's another good effect of O.S.C.: your FCHG points are rising. LT Coblentz is a Lancer and I've finally reached the rank of Legionnaire.

• The payroll system has been temporarily delayed: WC/MAJ Darksaber is working on a new salary system with several improvements. Anyway, I'll keep tallying your credits using the old method until a new one wont be released.

• One last thing: the Office of the CMDR is always open! If you have questions, suggestions, reprimands...anything, about Ranger Squadron or the TIE Corps in general, you can email me. I'm not a touchy guy so don't be afraid of being demoted :P

• ECR#4, Round III - Graphics: make an Imperial Storm II related graphic, submissions can be anything: a banner, a 2D image, a small movie, an award of some sort for capturing of certain planets, an award for winning the exercise...The only restriction is that only one submission from each pilot will be accepted. The ending date of this round is 29/10. If you have questions or hints about gfx creation fell free to use Ranger Squadron egroup.

• Operation Squadron Citations: keep up the good work! Fly at least 1 XWA battle at week: you can fly TC, IW and FCHG XWA battles.
