Exercise Cantina Run - the BGCOM's fourth

The first round has ended, fiction, and so far I'm enjoying what you all came up with so far.. except some pilots that called me a 'he' :P The overall participation of the Battlegroups was less than what I expected.. 72 entries out of a possible 133 - 54%. But there are quite a few things to take into consideration here, school starting, the recent terrorist attacks in NYC and Washington... so heads won't roll... yet :P The Colossus and Relentless have both shown quite a strong lead, both managing to get more than 3/4 of their ships to submit a fiction. The Immortal is lurking closely behind with a little over a half of the ship participating.. and the Challenge.. well seems to be fictionally challenged and could only muster up a little more than a 1/4 of the ship worth of submissions. It will be interesting to see what happens after the stories are graded ;)

Round II - Mission Design

Mission Design is not everyones strongest point.. it takes experience as a pilot, and practice using the mission editors to make really good quality missions. For this reason, I am not asking that each and every pilot download the appropriate mission editors and whip up a free mission just to get participation points. What I'm looking for in this phase of the competition, is some quality, fun to fly and bug-free FREE missions based on Imperial Storm.

In order to achieve this, I expect each squadron to submit 1 FREE-mission (XWA, TIE or XvT) (no battles will be accepted). Simple enough.. for a squadron to achieve 100%, I expect the commanders of each squadron to organize this as a team project and each pilot assist in the creation somehow, be it writing the plotline, creating the mission, creating a medal for the mission, bug testing, and/or correcting. If pilots have bug tested the mission, I would like to see their pilot files, and in the readme file I would like to see the names of each pilot and how they contributed, and I trust all commanders to be truthful in their reports >:P

Flag Officers, you are considered a squadron of your own, so you must also contribute a FREE-mission, or prove to me that you've assisted a smaller squad on your ship (ie. if you've bug tested the mission, send me your pilot file) . With this phase, I hope to see a lot of communication and co-operation between all members of the squadrons. I expect nothing less than top notch missions here pilots!

Grading for this phase will be based on several factors, 1. creativity (plotline, briefing) 2. difficulty (ie. mission changes on different difficulty settings)
Remember that all ship names and planets must be Imperial Storm related, and just like the fiction phase, you are allowed to make stuff up :P ie. pirates that are present on a planet system that we are attempting to capture, etc.. etc..

Currently, I am working out how to award medals for this phase, but am hoping the TO and OPS will agree to IS-GR to all participating members of the winning squadron FREE-mission, IS-SR to second place, and IS-BR to third place. Points will be awarded according to the details reported with the Training Office (see below)



Details ( as posted with the Training Office ):


Exercise Cantina Run IV - With Imperial Storm coming to a close, this competition will involve making this exercise more of a reality. Pilots are asked to create 1.fiction 2.missions 3.graphics and 4.fly missions which are all related to the events which have (or should have :P ) happened. Each category will last 2 weeks, with the final overall winner being named the Flagship of the Battlegroups - all members of this ship will be rewarded with a custom made medallion. Points will be awarded for both quality of submissions and participation. Submissions not relating to Imperial Storm (ship and planet names etc.) will not be accepted.

For the pilots' submissions in each round, the following bonus points will be awarded to their respective ship:

1st place - 15 points & IS-GR
2nd place - 10 points & IS-SR
3rd place - 5 points & IS-BR
4th place - 3 points

(in the case of the flying round , Ribbons will be replaced with Wings)

Ship bonuses will be awarded by participation:

100% participation - 10 points
90-100 - 9 points
80-90 - 8 points
70-80 - 7 points
60-70 - 6 points
50-60 - 5 points
40-50 - 4 points
etc.. well, anything less than that is unacceptable :P

For each round, submissions will be scored and rated, based on averages, the ships will be ranked 1st - 4th and points awarded like so :


1st - 35 points
2nd - 25 points
3rd - 15 points
4th - 10 points

In the end, the ship with the highest points wins! Good luck pilots :)
