ISD Challenge Weekly Report #17 –
5th of February 2007
Introduction
Greetings,
Well...MAJ Diaboli has left to take command of Omega Squadron. LT
Kaskad left for the reserves....so, yeah....RECRUIT!!! What else is
new, hey? We need new pilots....help them get in here ;)
I’ve made a small change to the statistics to include myself, so
it’s now a full ship statistics, and since this is a ship report, I
think its fair :D
The ISD Challenge Flying Competition – January/07 has ended, with
LCM Zosite achieving first place, followed by CM Saul Rostek.
Congratulations to them!!!
And there’s a TAC sponsored flying competition starting, just like
ours. Admiral Master will choose one free per week this month to
celebrate his TC anniversary. There are shinies to the highest
scorers, and also shinies to whoever beats the Admiral himself...check
the Competitions Center of this report for further details...mission
to be flown this week is TIE-Free 192...go!!!
Besides the flying comp, there are also other new TAC sponsored
comps starting...they are all in the Competitions Center...
As you may have already heard, Zosite won the Ace of the TIE Corps
in the month of January....a promising year to an already great
pilot!! He should be a great pilot, since space seems to be his
thing ;) Congrats!!!
The young Lieutenant Jaorrus Morraus, from the ISD Subjugator, has
been awarded the Gold Star of the Empire, for creating this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Di0_9XbzQTc. It’s a true
inspiration to think outside the box in recruiting...congrats to LT
Morraus!!
The competition between the Sovereign and the Subjugator has ended
with victory to the Super Star Destroyer, and the best pilot was CM
Rancorous. Congrats to both ships in a great comp, and more congrats
to the winners!!
I think there’s still time to participate in HA Frodo’s multiplayer
competition for SW Battlefront 2, An IS-PW is up for grabs!!!! Mail
fo@emperorshammer.net if you are interested...

total of six whole years. And to celebrate he’ll be running a fly
comp each and every week of February. Each week throughout Feb,
he’ll be flying one free from somewhere in the compendium. Not only
will the top three receive medals, but any pilot who beats his score
will win a IS-BW. In addition, at the end of the month. The pilots
totalled scores will be judged and the three top rating pilots will
again win more bobbles!Missions will vary from XW to XWA. All
BSF's should go through your CMDR (etc) as normal. Then FWD AD

- When Cargo Ferries Attack This mission's BSF is due no later than the
11th of Feb 2007.
* Make the LO a New
Banner Graphic Make the LO
a new banner for the LO website. The only limits is that it conforms
with the pic that is currently in use, ie. similar dimensions and
similar colours to the current websites colour scheme. Entries can
be sent to the LO at
lo@emperorshammer.org. Comp closes at the end of January. IS-GW
to the one the LO chooses.
* TO’s Own The title
of Training Officer's Own will be awarded to the ship whose pilots
pass the most IWATS courses per pilot in each month. For the
purposes of this competition, Omega and Praetorian Elite Squadrons
will be judged as separate ship-equivalent entities. IS-BR for the
participating pilots.

Training Competition Every
Saturday, 1300 to 1600 EST on #EHCOO
Multiplayer competition with XWA, XvT and IA. DFCs can be awarded.
* Competition – the
spice of life... MUHAHAHA.
A little friendly competition to liven up this very special report
(TAC Report #250). This will be AD Master’s twenty first TAC report,
in each of these reports at the top there’s is a movie/tv/game
quote.
The first three to email AD Master with all 21 correct answers will
win IS-GR, IS-SR & IS-BR (or subgroup equivalent).
The subject line of the email should read 'When TACcy Speaks...noone
listens' :P
And don't forget to include your ID Line.
Let the madness begin!
* Let’s get ready
to RUUUUUUUMBLE! Ahhhh January, the
only other time of year AD Master care about professional wrestling,
why? Cause its the Royal Rumble, and this year..it was goooooood.
So following his current trend of shameless
rip-off comps he’s starting a new comp! Start Date: 10th February 2007 End Date: 24th February 2007 Medals: IS-GW x3 (or subgroup
equivalent) Missions: Custom Missions Info: One FREE (each platform), one
winner (again each platform). The three winners (you can only win one
platform) will then have the opportunity to enter the 'Shameless
Wrestlemania competition' in April for an IS-PW. Currently he’s hoping to have three custom
missions of his done in time, but since he really hates making stuff
under pressure (comes out crap and lame) he’s not promising nothing.
Oh and don't worry, they will be beta checked
before you fly them
*
Master's Monthly Map & Mission Mayhem Start Date:
10/1/2006
Parties Involved: EH-wide
Medals: IS-GR, IS-SR, IS-BR (or subgroup equivalent) each month.
According to the System Manual (http://sysman.emperorshammer.net/)
the EH is in control of ten systems.
Each month Master is going to pick a planet from one of the EH
Controlled Systems* from the manual. Those interested will then have
the remainder of the month to create a Empire at War or SW Galactic
Battlegrounds or Jedi Academy map based on that planet. *Master may throw in the odd other planet
from SW from time to time with more bonuses.
Designers are free to do as they like with the map provided basics
stay true to the System Manual information.
Maps will be judged on: Technical realization (use wat u got),
general plotline & general enjoyment.
All maps should be submitted ala standard TACcy Rules and via the
Custom BSF (http://tac.emperorshammer.net/tacdb/batsubmit.asp)
All maps will be judged by TAC.
Additional M: AD Master has decided to change
the plot of his funkily named competition for the new year. He has added an additional M! Now the comp
also includes our flying platforms! So that means when he gives us a
planet each month you can base a TIE or even an XW free on that
planet! Awards remains as an IS-GR each month, and he has yet to
give away a single one Anyway.... February's World of the Moment
is.....Aurora Prime!!!
http://sysman.emperorshammer.net/aurora.php The fabulous EH homeworld provides, warm days,
cold nights, a Dark Jedi infested moon, three funky massive
platforms and the ever impressive New Imperial City....think of all
the fun you could have. MUHAHAHAHHAA!!!! Winning submission will be judged by AD Master
based on fun level, plotline and bribes! All submissions should go
through the Custom Battle Submission
Form as always, with a
MMMMM mentioned in the comments box.
* Ace of the Tie
Corps Starting this month, we now have a
new monthly competition series - Ace of the TIE Corps. The concept
is simple - the pilot with the most flown missions at the end of
each month will recieve an Iron Star with Gold Wings and the title
"Ace of the Month". You will be able to see the progress of pilots
over time by checking the
Pilot Kill Board. At the end
of the year, the pilot with the most missions flown will recieve an
Iron Star with Platinum Wings and the title of "Ace of the TIE
Corps".
The competition is open to all members of the TIE Corps and the
counts are based on missions.
* Frozen Doom
Competition The weekly
multiplayer combat calendar events are returning! Starting with the
Frozen Doom Competition!!! It will be held on Tuesdays from 1900 EST
to 2200 EST!
Host is GN Ric Taldrya! Matches take place in #EHCOO, COME
ONE COME ALL!
Having said that, DFCs will no longer be awarded for 24/7 LoCs. They
will only be awarded for winning combat calendar events. If you do
fly a 24/7 LoC match, e-mail the scores to coo@emperorshammer.org.
* Wing X Pilot of
the Week/Month 4 Each week the
Wing X Commander will choose a pilot he believes has performed
better then any other pilot on the ship that week. At the end of the
month, Challenge Commodore will look at the overall performance of
every Pilot of the Week for that month, and will choose one of them
to become the Pilot of the Month. Each Pilot of the Week will be
awarded an IS-BR and each Pilot of the Month will be awarded an
IS-SR. The Wing X Pilot of the week will always be chosen in the
Wing Commander’s report.
Dark Lord of the
Week
The highly
prestigious title of Dark Lord of the Week is only given to the
person who has most advanced the success of the Ship, amused the
Commodore, or slipped me the most $5 notes in a brown paper bag.
This week's winner is:
LCM Zosite Konstyte
Styles, for
winning the Flying comp and for an amazing flying activity!!!
Ewok of the Week
Yub Yub!
Every story has a
hero, every journey has a first step, every Fleet has a pilot who's
about as much use as an ashtray on a speeder bike. This weeks's
Prize Ewok is none other than:
Major Diaboli....how
can he leave the best ship ever?!?!?! Just to take command of some
elite thingy???!?!?! Madness!!! :D
Quote of the Week
Oskar:
“Its fun being a LT! Those good old days..a
LT can accidently blow up the Death Star, feed the FC's pyjamas to
an ewok or park their Tie in the wrong spot and no one cares, they
even expect it :P”
Heehehehehe....want a demotion, Osk?? :D
Oskar: “First I go mad
one, mad two, then I start going teeeeeeeekeeeeeeeeeet,
teeekeetttttttttt! Some of us are born sane, and others of us become
sane later later in life...Not for us im afraid! Tekeeeeeeeeeet!”
Nuts :D
