Description:
Reviving an old classic, Sin Squadron is going TIE Golfing.
Every two weeks in the report, Sin CMDR Zekk will announce a free mission that Sin pilots will complete for the lowest possible score. These missions will be hand-picked by Zekk to ensure that the pilot has to be at least a little bit engaged in the mission, where wingmen and other friendlies won't complete the mission on their own.
Pilot files are due by the second following Sunday night.
The lowest score will earn an IS-BW! In the case of a tie for the lowest score, multiple IS-BWs will be awarded.
SCORING
A key concern with TIE Golf is the scoring, which has to be a little different than standard laserless scoring. For this competition, we're using the following formula to determine a player's score for that round:
TIE Golf Score = Mission Score + Lasers Fired x 2 + Warheads Fired x 100 - Laser Hits x 3 - Warhead Hits x 100
Basically, laser and warhead hits are zeroed out and each laser and warhead shot goes from being a deduction to adding to the score, such that every shot you fire takes you further away from the perfect 0 score.
RULES
Only the primary goals in each mission must be completed.
In-game cheats are not allowed. All missions must be flown with collisions on, limited warheads, and vulnerable craft.
Intentionally destroying friendly craft is not allowed.
Your pilot file must not show a lost player craft.
Calling for reinforcements is allowed, but the missions being picked won't have reinforcements anyway.
Flying missions on Easy difficulty is allowed and encouraged.
