-- News

I) Probably the most important news this month, is that Menshk Vrei'Sik found a bug in the current R2F mission. I have made the proper adjustments to it, and am now re-releasing it.

This is primarily for anyone who uses the TIE DOS Collector's CD. Both missions will be identical to one another, except that in the re-release it will have no mission messages in it.

II) As most everyone knows, Slayer Squadron has been disbanded. All of its members, by now, have either transfered or have been booted from the Retribution Fleet.

III) TIE Sequel petition - As I mailed about it earlier, I won't explain about it more, taking up space in this NL. I'll just leave the URL: http://www.petitiononline.com/tf2pc/petition.html

IV) In other news, the R2F's ITOD website has been redone. Check it out when you get the chance, if you need the URL, just look in the General Information section of this News Letter.


-- Special Award

Commander Menshk Vrei'Sik, and Major Ryan Coburn, please step forward. I've found that since I took a bigger role in this fleet, many others have as well. People are working harder, they're becoming more loyal and so on as they want the fleet to progress successfuly. It is my great honor if you choose to accept, to award both of you the R2F Officer Award. {!!/-OFFICER-\!!}

Commander Vrei'Sik has consistantly shown activity, dedication, and just recently even helped out in finding a glitch in the current R2F mission. You've also been a very honourable pilot not only in this fleet, but probably the rest of the club. You're one of the finest officers out there, keep up the good work! I almost wish I could offer you something higher than this medal, but it will have to do for now. ;)

Major Coburn. Though your game was on the fringe for a very long time, and you had to standby helplessly in hard times for Shadow Squadron you've held your ground, at least, somewhat. Just recently you're helping to develop the R2F storyline even more (you'll see right after this NL) and that to me shows great dedication, even though you can't participate the way you'd like to. Keep it up!
