ISD Subjugator Closed

HA Cyric

It is with heavy heart that I announce the closure of the ISD Subjugator, in the ATF. This was not a decision that I came to lightly, nor did ATF BGCOM TK-2107. The Subjugators two squadrons were moved to the SSD Avenger.

Kraken Squadron pilots will therefore completely transfer to Rage Squadron http://www.ehtiecorps.org/rosters/view.asp?squadron=55) aboard Wing XVIII while Nemesis will be transferred to Chaos Squadron (http://www.ehtiecorps.org/rosters/view.asp?squadron=105). I would like all pilots to stand together as once and support their CMDRs as well as their new Commanding Officers (Wing Commander, Commodore and BG COM). Once more ? the decision wasn?t easy and in my opinion something that will make the ATF stronger in the future!

New SSD Avenger COM selected

Queries Regarding Minos Web Hosting

First of all I'd like to reiterate I can't sort out your Minos hosting issues as I do not have admin access to this.

Another issue with minos at the moment is that the domain names squadron.org and stardestroyer.org have expired. This means that any people with minos subdomain redirects to these domains will return an error. Please log on to your Minos accounts and remove these domains and update your links accordingly. tiecorps.net and minos.net domains remain active.

24/7 LoC Submission Form

FA Khameir Sarin

22 February, 2005 22:04
13 ABY
The 24/7 LoC Submission form is currently clear of all entries and all LoCs have been awarded. If you have submitted a match and have not received your LoCs, please do so again. The submission form is very picky when people fill it out. I have just discovered that any spaces placed in the form will keep it from entering correctly (meaning the COO website just throws it away and I never see it). You must fill in your name (do not put any spaces in the name block: so if your name is khameir sarin, put sarin or khameirsarin or whatever...just no spaces), you must fill in the score (the number of times you killed your opponent), and you must put in your pin number. If you fail to do any of these things, your match will not be recorded.

If at any time you submit LoCs and do not receive them within 7 days, immediately contact me. I never take longer than 7 days to award them and most times they are out after 72 hours. Thanks!

Imperial Alliance Voice Actors needed.

FA Ender mBind

22 February, 2005 09:25
13 ABY
For Imperial Alliance (our game in development) we are in need of 12 voice actors (or at least 12 different voices in case you can do more then 1) for the standard messages you hear in flight, like when you order your wingmen, when your wingmen get killed or for docking procedures.

Do not worry if you have a (foreign) accent; it adds character and atmosphere and you'll be subtitled anyway (and apparently only people from Coruscant sound like posh brits...) However keep in mind that for most characters you are supposed to be an Imperial Officer, so try to act that. We would however like it if at least one of our voices is female.

Obviously everyone picked/helping out will be rewarded suitably.

Reminder about Patches

FA Ender mBind

13 February, 2005 08:50
13 ABY

Since one of our COMs will just not believe the cheating policy, TAC-manual or anything unless I post it here again: You are NOT allowed to use ANY patches you cannot get from the TAC or SCO sites. If you do anyway and this is detected - this will be punished as cheating. Outside patches will also NEVER be approved for EH use, just like we'll never approve outside missions.

Build More Custom Battles and Missions

RA Frodo

12 February, 2005 10:54
13 ABY
I've noticed recently that fewer and fewer new people try and create missions. I think that its because that we have alot of tutorials, and many means to learn how to create missions but few pilots know where to find them. For this reason I have decided to remind you all of the following links:

XvT mission Creation courses
TIE mission creation courses
XWA Mission Creation course
Mission Creation Editors (all platforms)
Mission Creation Tutorials
The Tactical Manual
Custom Battle Submission Form

I hope this helps! Now please get creating, there's still an IS-PR and GR to be won for February and for March aswell! The most battles and frees win! (Minimum of 3 battles, minimum of 5 frees)

As reported in the RO's report, there's a demo of Republic Commando out on the 3D Gamer's site. If you insist on getting it from there, I recommend trying the Bit Torrent download as I got fairly good speeds off it. Alternatively, you can get it directly off the TC server here. The demo is 431 megs.
