Competitions

Check out the Competitions Center and Combat Center for more details about competitions. RTF is the order of the day and not much else at the moment. I will have some weekly and monthly competitions after RTF ends.


1.) Raise the Flag 2015 - Single Player Bonus - June 20th to June 30th - This is the last bonus competition for RTF. One battle from each platform will be assigned. The four squadrons who score the highest normalized combined score will be awarded 200, 150, 100, and 50 points respectively to themselves and their ships. IS-GW goes to highest normalized combined score. IS-SW and -BW for second and third place respectively. More info here.


2.) Star Wars Commander: Persistent Strife - Until December 31st - In Star Wars Commander PvP tournament, take a screen shot of the highest score you can and send it to LC Plif (plif346@gmail.com). With 5 or more participants the top place gets an IS-GR (IS-SR for 2nd and IS-BR for 3rd), with 3-4 participants IS-SR for first place (IS-BR for second), for 2 participants an IS-BR will be given for first place. More info here.


3.) TIE Corps on Patrol 2015 - Until December 26th - Each Saturday the SOO will announce 1 free mission or battle for TIE, XVT, BoP and XWA. (Yes that's a total of 4 things to load into EHBL each week, not just one!) You have until the following Saturday at 0800 GMT to get the files submitted. IS-SWs and IS-BWs as appropriate. More information here.


4.) Dempsy's Weekly Riddles - The Hammer COM will include a riddle in her weekly reports. First one to reply back with the correct answer gets an IS-BR. Higher versions available at milestone accumulations. Unlike most other trivia competitions, it is encouraged to reply-all on your answer to share it to the group (and save the Hammer COM the spam of a bunch of answers after the first one has already been received.)


5.) The GOG Games (TIE Fighter) - Until December 31st - Play through the original TIE campaigns throughout the year, rack up points, get awards. More information here .


6.) The GOG Games (X-Wing) - Until December 31st - Same thing but play as the evil Rebels on X-Wing. This one is only "half" as long as the other, with each Tour of Duty having two months to play through instead of just one. More information here.


7.) Ace of the TC (SP/MP) - Monthly - Get LoCs, fly missions and battles. Most in a month wins medals!


8.) One-Word Run-on - Keep posting words, making a story with other EH members! The thread is at the forums.

9.) COO Monthly Challenge - Until December 31st - This competition will be for the coveted DFC. Your goal will be to submit a victory screenshot with the highest number of kills you can get in one round of Star Conflict's Domination or Team Battle modes. So in other words, you will need to get as many kills as you can during Domination or Team Battle. More info here.

Commander's Corner

*Sigma 1-1 TIE Advanced*


Len checked his scanners again as him and his flight swung around for another pass at the fighters on the landing platform. *That can't be all of them,* he announced on the combat channel, *Spiffy, Crix get me number of fighters destroyed.* After a few tense moments Crix replied first, *22 destroyed Len.* Spiffy replied next, *Ha! We got 23.* Exar cut in, *Five fighters at point 01 angle 30 about 2000 meters out. I think that's the rests of them boss.* Len opened his mouth to give a command when the radio crackled. *Sigma squadron, it was a trap, the command facility must be...unghaa.* Len called back getting angrier at the rebel forces, *Sigma 1-1 to Strike Alpha come in. Strike Alpha?* but Len knew it was useless. The strike team was dead, the rebels had outwitted him and command, lulled them into a trap. The question is how tight the trap would get. Len coldly ordered, *Flight 2 and 3 reduce the command center to rubble, Flight 1, follow me.* After the chorus of *yes sirs*, the Missile and Assault Boats banked to their targets, while the TIEs angled up and flew towards the fighters. *Let them follow us towards the hypermatter reactor, I have a plan,* Len commanded. The New Republic T-65s altered course to intercept the flight of TIE Advanced fighters. As soon as the X-Wings turned, Flight 1 jammed their control yokes hard to bring them in line with the hypermatter reactor. So hard they turned almost on a dime. *Okay boys, punch it,* Len shouted. The TIE Advanceds hurtled in their new direction, faster and faster. The giant sphere slowly got bigger as the X-Wings tried to catch up. *Crix, Spiffy, target the hypermatter reactor, create a crack at,* Len tried to remember a detail, *31 degrees north of equator near a small hatch. Target the hatch and put everything else you have at it. All pilots prepare to escape atmosphere, 90 degrees up. Make sure no overheads.* There was silence. *Len, you do have a plan to escape right?* Spiffy asked. *Mostly,* A locked shot of X-Wing laser fire went through the Flight, *Think of that time at the Academy when we. . .* Len was cut off by Spiffy, *Right! I remember.* *Not to break up the conversation but the fighters are 40 meters from range and closing,* Exar reminded everyone. *Fire on my mark. . . MARK!* Two missiles flew directly towards the hatch. The last thing Len could see was the flash of light from the exposure of hypermatter to realspace. At that second he hit the command override autopilot button, which launched him and every other pilot back in his seat as their craft went vertical and gained altitude. . .


Well back to fiction writing in the report this week. Hope all enjoyed it. I hope that by the end of RTF we can at least move up one place. Only about a day and a half left. We are Sigma, we are the Sum of All Fears!
