-All Tempest pilots are encouraged to participate in the Third Annual Tempest FCHG race! This FCHG race will award an IS-BW to the pilot how manages to increase their FCHG score by the most in the course of a month! The current standings are as follows:
Dirk Logan - 16
Locke - 9
Master - 4
This is a rather slow start compared to our usual FCHG races, so this is still anyone's match!! Try to get in there and fly a few to see if you can't be the one to win this race!
-A Training Session Competition is being ran by the WC in a effort to see how the squads to against the current Black Eagle Flight. Now, I'm a part of this Flight, and I'll be honest: I won't be going easy on you guys. But, if any squad is gonna be able to beat us 4 hotshots, it'll be this squad! I am making the TIE mission for this comp, TIE-TC #233, mandatory flying, so get to it! Deadline is the 26th of June!
-Recruit! While 6 is a good number, it is only half of what we could be :) If you have friends or such who like Star Wars, get em in here! If you meet some guy in the Zone who seems cool, get him in here! More pilots the better!
-If you guys have a comp idea, send it on over :) I always like trying new things, as you guys should well know as I invented TIE Golf as well as throwing speed comps down your throats long before they were used as Wing comps ;)
-Quite a few Tempestation rewards this week! But first I have to start with what, in my opinion, is the most monumental: The promotion of long-time Commander Rover to the rank of Captain :) I know I've personally wanted to do this for quite some time, so I'm glad that those silly regulations finally allowed me to promote someone who's earned it long ago. If he has any money left, see if you can't get another drink or too off our the newly promoted Captain Rover! :)
-In other Tempest Victory related events, we owned the May Wing Comps completely. Of all the 1st place and 2nd place events, the only ones that were not placed by Tempestations was the 1st place TIE ace, the 2nd place position for the two XvT comps, and the 2nd place for the recruitment banner comp. The rest were *all* Tempest victories, and you'll see just how much we dominated below in the Squad Activity section. Big congrats to everyone who participated in this, with some light to myself, Rover, and Master for our brand new shiney medals :)
-Tempest Webpage?? Where?? That's right, r/l has made this endevour take a lot longer than it should. But don't worry, this week I do plan on having a working update going. Some things I'll still be adding on as time goes by, but there will be an accessible version of the page this week, so be prepared!
-In other news... I got a new PC for being a cool CMDR, evidentely ;) If you ask me, I think it's just cause I've got the best squad in the fleet, it's you guys who do all the work, and thus you guys who deserve all the thanks :)
-In efforts to up our recruitment drive, our WC has put up a new Recruitment page. Use it on all your friends and fellow TCers who need a new home, and let's see if we can't up the membership of this ship some more eh? The site is at http://www22.brinkster.com/freygallandro/
-We will be facing off in a giant Wing vs Wing competition against Wing XX starting July 1st. Tis a tad bit too long for me, but it gives us time to train :) In fact, I'll use this part of the report as a challenge to ALl CMDRs out there who'd like a squad vs squad comp against Tempest Squadron. If you're intrested in going up against us in the next week or two, please email me ASAP and we'll set it up.
-Black Knight and Black Fleet were announced this week, with 3/4th of it being consumed by us no-life CMDRs ;) Here's the standing:
Black Eagle 1 CM TK-9780 (85 Missions)
Black Eagle 2 CPT Elwood the Brave (46 Missions)
Black Eagle 3 COL Locke Setzer (43 Missions)*That's me!*
Black Eagle 4 MAJ Loor (35 Missions)
Congrats to all :)
