    Hello folks. Welcome to another report for Delta Suqadron.

    Frankly said - I am not a happy camper today. Mostly because the Hammer is lagging the Warrior by way too many points, but also because I think activity within this squadron is not where it should be at this time. Only 4 out of 11 pilots have managed to get off the 0 mark! And with the non flying bonus competitions done, I wonder if that will change....

    That said - on to better news. We were joined this week by a returning vet, LT Nylan, who didn't waste any time and bagged himself his fiorst points for RtF (yup, someone who's in the squadron for 2 days has a better score than more than half the rest....) Welcome to you, lieutenant!

    Also good: LT Simomime has been doing a good job on the Star Conflict side of things, earning himself a nice bunch of LoCs and this ship a nice bunch of points for RtF. Keep them coming, Lieutenant!

    Speaking of RtF - the TCCOM's report should be out later today and announce the winners of the first bonus competition, the fiction. Here's hoping the Hammer scores some big bonuspoints there, we need em! The graphics bonus competition is also nearly done, and scores for that are expected in the coming days. Again, let's hope for some big points for us!

    And then for something completely different, as there are things in the TC that are not RtF related :) This week saw the release of TIE free 287: Siegebreaker, a joint effort between HA Frodo March and CPT Plif, who were both awarded a Medal of Tactics for their efforts.

    The Hammer on patrol competition was fun this week - the TIE free mission picked was a bit easy, but tediously long causing me to make mistakes and having to fly it 5 times. The fifth time, I completed it after a total real time duration of 45 minutes (almost 2 hours on the mission clock, that LucasArts for time x4) and earning myself 84,000 points. Rather a disappointment the next highest score was less than 10,000. I would have tried less hard :) Also, Dunta Polo again swiped the IS-SW for the XWA mission. That's twice ina row now!

    More big news! For his efforts on the XWA Craft Pack, CPT Nutrientman was awarded a Gold Star of the Empire this week. A rare occurrence for a line pilot - wear it with pride, Captain!

    We also saw the MSE medals arrive this week. Unfortunately, not as many as I would have hoped. Still, several people were awarded something nice. let's see if we can improve on that for June!

    Lastly, I would like to remind the TCCOM of my 1,000 point bonus in RtF for having my birthday last week. I see they haven't been added to the RtF scoring site yet, but I am sure that is just a small oversight.

  •   Important Competitions

    Competitions are the livelihood of this thing we do for fun. I encourage all of you to enter as many competitions as you want to/can. And just let me know about it! Don't forget to check out the website for more information.

    Raise the Flag

  • Raise the Flag
    TC wide competition to determine TCCOM's Own Escort Squadron,
    TCCOM's Wingman and the TC Flagship.
    Almost all activity counts for points!

  • Raise the Flag: multiplayer competition
    Fly some MP - every mission, win or loss, counts!

    Delta squadron competitions

  • Delta's Weekly Trivia
    Each day of the week (Mon-Fri) you will receive an email with a trivia
    question, same as before. 3 pts for the first correct answer, 2 pts for
    second and 1 pt for 3rd. At the end of the week, the one with the
    most points wins the shiny. As usual, there's extra shinies available for
    accumulating set amounts of points.

    Wing I/ISDII Hammer competitions

  • Hammer on Patrol
    Each week the COM assigns 3 free missions in his report. Fly them for weekly points (highest score based),
    weekly platform and monthly overall winners get the shinies.

  • Hammer's Pilot of the Month
    For every flown SP mission from the TC mission compendium and for every LoC earned each pilot receives 1 point
    for the HPotM competition. The pilot with most points at the end of the month is the ISD II Hammer's
    Pilot of the month and receives an IS-GW. Second will receive an IS-SW and third an IS-BW.

  • Hammer Student of the Month
    Points for all IU/IWATS courses taken, bonus points for a perfect score. Whoever has most points at the end of
    the month wins.

    TC wide competitions

    Each mission flown during a month will count towards your score, with shinies for the top 3 pilots.
    At the end of the year, the TC's Top Gun will win a rare IS-PW!

  • MP Ace of the TIE Corps
    Each multiplayer victory flown during a month will count towards your score, with shinies for the top 3 pilots.
