TO: All Naval Officers
SUBJECT: Fel's Fantastic Fleet Report: 5.22.07
==========
Introduction
==========
After much delay, it's time for another Fleet Report! That's right, in between work and partying with Germans, Fel still has time to yell at me to write a report, so here I am
Not much in the Fleet other than a large amount of cadets and FPRs. Large amounts of FPRs are always good, can't complain. Large amount of cadets is excellent, but the number of AWOLs was just about 1:1, so really just swapped out personnel across the Fleet. Unit Commanders: stay on top of your officers and try to keep retention up. Make me open a new ship!

Competitions
==========
Ladders
Host: The GE
Status: Open!
-The ladders are an (almost) always ongoing way to be active in the Empire. Pilots and ground troops face off against one another, and everyone who wins and and everyone who plays gets points. The winner at the end, and perhaps some 2nd or 3rd place officers, if there is enough activity, earn medals! Full details at: http://empirereborn.net/ladders.php?page=root
ICTE
Host: #outerrim on Undernet
Status: Ongoing
-Hosted by our allies, the ICTE, or Inter-Club Training Event, is a fun way to get together and play some multiplayer outside of the ladders. ICTEs take place every Saturday night, and your participation will earn you a pin for your Imperial Star, with placements in the top three earning the newly restored Imperial Combat Cross! Full details and rules at: http://icte.starwarsalliance.com/
EaW Mission Contest
Host: Myself, Tactical Office
Status: Open!... Still!
-Following the release some months ago of the Empire at War Map Editor from Lucasarts/Petroglyph, it is now high time to announce a competition for the creation of a high quality mission...!
The rules of this challenge are simple: Be the first to turn in a high-quality Empire at War mission to VA Jagged Fel. If you do so, you will receive not only the Medal of Tactics afforded to all mission creators, but you will also be the first to create an Empire at War single-player scenario for the combat chamber. And, of course, you will be rewarded with a medal for your initiative... You will receive a Bronze Seal!

==========
Ace of the Month
==========
Every report will feature one whose exploits are applaudable. The Ace is one who has shown dedication above and beyond, be it either in combat, overall activity, or even an epic quote on IRC. Enjoy the bragging rights for a while.
This month it goes to EF Hermann and EF Pirek, for the sheer amount of FPRs that they are completing! EF Hermann has completed 13 in this reporting period, while Pirek has had 9 approved, with more in the queue, some of them being new high scores! Congratulations to the both of you, and keep up the good work.
==========
Ew*k of the Month
==========
Every report will will also feature one whose exploits are... less than ideal. The ew*k itself is an endangered species, thanks to the carelessness of the Rebel scum. Those that know me are aware of the cages I keep in the IDMR laboratories, the contents of which are used for testing or sometimes target practice. Fortunately (or unfortunately), the type of people that earn the Ew*k of the Month "award" are plentiful, so even if the little buggers no longer fill my cages, there will always been a bountiful supply of officers as substitutes.
This report it shall go to Ensign Reem, for getting himself banned from #galactic_empire. Don't say stuff like that, it's not nice
==========
Personal Section
==========
Only a week and half until I move back to school again for a few months, before I return to the Baltimore area for another 6 months. Don't really want to go back to school, but it's going to be a light quarter and shouldn't be too bad.
Other than that, I've slowly been making the icons for YOGEME, flying, and playing a ridiculous amount of Battlefield 2. What can I say? It's one of my preferred genres. So if you play and see Darkjedibob, *waves*
==========
Standing Orders
==========
1. Be in contact
There are loads of ways to be in contact, and e-mail is just one of them. Many officers are available on AOL Instant Messenger, and some even on MSN Messenger, both of which are free downloads. Xfire is gaining popularity after being adopted by the Empire, so that is another official method of contact. If you do use Xfire, please post your screen name into the Xfire thread on the Message Boards so you can be invited to the GE's Xfire clan, or contact an existing member. Some people are also on IRC (Internet Relay Chat) all the time (myself included), so please do come by! #galactic_empire on the Undernet network. We're friendly (as long as you're well behaved) and would be very glad to have you join us.
2. Recruit
The Empire is always in need of new officers, so if you know somebody who'd like to join, or if you just want to go out on IRC, the MSN Gaming Zone, or even public servers and find people, that's very much encouraged. If you can find a way to lure someone in, do it! And if you can't find a way, there are chemicals that make coercion easier. There's potentially medals involved!
3. Fly
I'd really like to see lots of people flying, whether on the ladders, single player, ICTE, anything. It doesn't have to take much time, it's a lot of fun, and can be very effective. There's quite a bit of activity on the EaW ladders, at not a whole lot coming from the XvT and XWA pilots recently. Get moving!
4. Have Fun!
That's the most important part of the whole thing. This is why we're here. The most fun can be found in point 3.
5. Fly some more
Seriously, fly a lot. It's fun, you get to blow stuff up. And it makes you look good
==========
Closing
==========
I wish the retention for the Frigates was better, but right now the playing field for EaW is saturated with younger players, so this is unfortunately to be expected somewhat. Keep trying, keep recruiting, keep flying.
