Quaestor Report

2002/11/10, 11:00 PM, Quaestor - House Tridens

MD arrives on PLT aegis after a long, semi-leave. After wondering around the PLT to make shure all was well he made his way to the cantina. To his surprise the plase was CLEAN! Dark jedi of various ranks sat and drank, other trained and others just sat reading reports. No one was talking, at least not very audibly. We have GOT to fix this

Guys this week I would like to put special emphasis on comunication! use the e-group(some people aren't on it so you may way to use every one's e-mail individually) and the MB. We have the house run on at the MB(nothing this week, I can't make every 2nd post all the time!) So get out of your shells and TALK!

NEWS:

We have a comp up comming with another house. I need to know in the next 2 days if you can play MP or not. If their aren't enough the comp will be only SP.

As many of you have noticed, I have been away. The reason is because I have been SWAMPED with work at school. I droped one of teh courses I don't need so now I will have more time for you guys:) Thanks to AED Pel and teh CMDRs who seem to have taken care of most things in my absense.

Tarentum is the biggest clan in the DB! WOO! GO US! That doesn't mean you should stop recruiting though guys, get out there and find new people to join the ranks:)

Roster:

2 new members in the last few days:) Please welcome the new guy, JH Brouillard, and a returning vet, DJK John Clark:)

COMPs:

The battle comp for the run on will start when you guys start it up again. Remember, run on posts count towards promotions and are fun and easily made.

As mentioned, comp starting latter this week against another house! Keep your eyes wide open!

A ton of squad level comps are on going so see your CMDR's reports for all those details and participate

My GFX comp is ending today so PLEASE send in some more pics! I want an Emblem, not banner! The Sith Emblem pic to use as a base is attached.

AED Pel's got a Mission creation comp going(you don't actually have to MAKE the mission if you don't want, just the plot and stats for it) for the rest of teh month.

"_Now then, to the Batmobile, I mean to the details...this is a Mission Outline Comp. This is one of the items that are part of the Jedi Trials for Tridens. It is NOT the same as a Battleplan. Your mission is to make a mission, or at least explain to me how you WOULD make the mission, if you did make it.

Basically, if your mission creation skills are up to the challenge, make a mission with the guidelines I give, on the platform of your choice. If they aren't, then describe in as much detail as you can, what the mission WOULD be if you did make it. The more things you put in it (extras like briefing questions, true 3D waypoints, in-flight messages, etc) the better. The bare minimum is Flight Groups, arrival times, starting locations, orders and win conditions. Basically enough to just play the mission, in a very rough state. Include a minimum plotline file as well....explaining how Tridens and the Pirates are reacting....are the pirates attacking, fleeing, calling for more help, and what does Tridens command do. It can be a short story, a couple of paragraphs, or just the basics that I am giving you, and a couple of more sentences added to show what you have done.

And here's the details: Single Mission (Free mission) - Defense of PLT Aegis (or similar title, if you actually make the mission and wish to get it TAC approved). Pirate raiders, using an old chart decide to hit the Yridia sector, not knowing that Tridens has it's main base of operations around Yridia 2. At the time of the attack Stingray squadron is away on a training exercise, and Sub-zero squadron has just stood down and is off-duty. Starting Tridens forces are therefore only 1 T/I squadron (HammerHead) and the PLT Aegis. Total Tridens forces available will be 3 T/I squadrons, the PLT, and the Corellian Corvette Cerberus, which happened to be near enough to answer the call for help that the PLT issued. How long it takes for the extra forces to arrive on scene, is up to you. Remember, Sub-Zero will be launching from the platform, as soon as possible, and Stingray will be responding to the alert the PLT issued.

Pirate forces are up to you, but be reasonable...they were expecting to find a backwater planetary system, perhaps with a few defences....not a full Jedi Clan of Sith.

Remember, the goals of this comp are many-fold. Firstly, it is a chance for all of us to do something different. It is a way for those of you that will need to take the Trials to prepare. It will possibly add to the list of available DB missions. It will be a lot of fun, to see what ideas everyone has, and just to do this. Don't forget that the more entries received, the better the medals awarded will be, so help your Master or Apprentice to enter, encourage your wingmate to try it out, offer advice to your squadron, whatever you can do. _"

That is all I can think of for now. Get to work guys, we are doing really well but we can still improuve! Free beer for all those that fly more than 1 battle this week!
