So, if you have JA and want to participate and e-mail we with a day of the week and a good time you'll be available to play (along with your name and ID line). If you are in both the Obelisk Order and the HF, inform me and I'll talk to you. So, e-mail me (sirikxirok@yahoo.com). With your name, ID Line, a good time to play, and a good day of the week to play (for you!). If you have no preference, simply put down "No preference." Thank you for your time.

Commendations of Loyalty

I realize now that I made a minor mistake in all of this medal re-awarding. Everything has gone more than perfectly but for the Commendations of Loyalty that were added this year. I awarded some, but not all of them, and this has created a problem. So, I ask that all COM/WC duos send to ops@emperorshammer.org the listings of all their pilots that are owed CoLs, and I will add them into the database. PINs are always helpful. Please try not to double-award CoLs, because as we all know this is just something that will have to be reversed. Thanks in advance for cooperation!

New survey

There's a new survey up relating to mailing lists/groups. It's asked about whether you would use roster-integrated mailing lists/groups.

Just to clarify the language used in the question, there are already "mailing lists" available for CMDRs and above, which are just generated lists of email addresses. What the latest survey question is relating to is having an egroup-style mailing list/group based upon your current TIE Corps position. For example, members of Alpha squadron would be on the mailing group alphasquadron@ehtiecorps.org (or whatever name it would have).

Known bug report:

It can happen that after you install a battle via EHBL, you still get the last battle you played (or the original battle 1) - in these cases the .EHM file is missing the battle1.lfd file (or corresponding .lst ones for XvT and XWA) so the game cannot find your newly installed missions.
May you encounter this, don't panic: just post a bug report saying "missing .lfd or .lst file"(unless one has already been posted on the subject) and TAC will fix it as soon as possible.
iirc You are also still allowed to make your own .lfd or .lst files pointing to the right missions, so you can still fly the affected missions if you really want. :)

[Reminder] The EHSPs back up all important game files.

AD Ender mBind

The Emperor's Hammer Ship Patches for TIE, XvT and BoP make a full backup of all important files in those games upon installation. This means that you can use it to restore your game installation might you have screwed that up in some way:

After you've newly installed TIE, XvT or BoP and installed any needed update patches (like 1.14 for XvT) install EHSP into a permanent folder ([Game folder]/EHPatch for example.) and keep it installed.
To restore your fresh install of the game: uninstall EHSP, reinstall it, and its all fine again... which saves you having to reinstall the game from CD again.

Missing Medals

AD Alex Foley

I realize there are probably about 1000 medals missing because of the database loss. The good news is that a couple of smart COMs already re-submitted these medals today, so we're on our way to getting these medals back. COMs/WCs: One of you from each wing is to re-submit the lost medals back into the database. It is up to you how you want to do this (compile them from CMDRs, automated e-mails, etc.), as long as you don't submit the old medals more than once and cause some backlog problems. It is also up to you whether or not you wish to include the old recommendation, but make sure to put as the last line "Due to Database Loss", so I'll be able to tell new medals from old ones. Thanks for the cooperation, and hopefully we'll be able to work through this quickly.

Also, for those of you who have been personally e-mailing me with your lost medals, unless it's a rare case where it's a Command Staffer or BGCOM, these mailings should go to your CMDR and on to the COM so they can be resubmitted into the database. This is the easiest and most efficient way.

Thanks a bunch.
