-Squadron News-
- CM Zekk Terrik and LT Tam Weltl have returned from their wayward journey to the Battlegroups! Welcome back, you two prodigals :P Zekk re-occupies his previous spot, FL of Two Flight, and Tam fills up another space in Three Flight.
- The first round of the Sin / Psi challenge is over! After a week in which to fly Free-TIE 122, we managed a three-pilot submission rate. Disappointing, but we got a few good scores out of it..Psi's results:
MAJ Ford Prefect:
Lasers: 4,378 / 4,605
Missiles: 16 / 16
Score: 82,766
Laserless Score: 69,632

Missiles: 16 / 16

Laserless Score: 69,328
LCM Jon Doyle:
Lasers: 4,721 / 5,124
Missiles: 15 / 16
Score: 87,401
Laserless Score: 73,238
Ford doesn't have Sin's results, but conversation with CM Stele Pellaeon of Sin has revealed that Stele and Mordred Pendragon were Sin's top two scorers...meaning they will face off against Jon, Psi's top scorer, and Ford, who narrowly edged out CPT Vigsted.
This will bring us into the next round of the competition...which begins immediately! Ford, Jon, Mord and Stele are to fly Free-TIE 111, 'Ricardo's Escape'. The tag-team with the highest average wins! Top-scoring pilot gets an ISM, and the losing team's flights get their nicknames and mottos re-named by the winners! Go us! :-P
