    This is Delta squadron weekly report #91.

    I won't bore you again with complaints about AWOL pilots. Out of the non active pilots, so far 2 have responded, the rest, well, I fear we shall lose them shortly.

    On to the good news: this week, Delta squadron grabbed ALL medals in the Hammer on Patrol competition. We may not have a lot of flying pilots, but we know how to fly! I got first place in all three (yet again), while LT Nylan bagged 2nd in the TIE and XWA sections, and MAJ Clark garbbed 2nd in the XvT. And with that, July ends, and the top pilots on the ISD Hammer for this month have been announced. I'm glad to say I got first place (who's going to challenge me next month....) with LT Nylan grabbing 3rd place. An excellent showing, and good for no less than 9 medals this week for us! And also: LT Benjo has also returned to activity and earned himself several Legions of Combat!

    More good news: though not a rank promotion, LT Nylan increased his FCHG points count with enough points to advance in the Fleet Commander's Honor Guard He is now a Gallant. Congrats, sir!

    Well, you can add a 10th medal for Delta Squadron since MAJ Clark ruled the trivia once again. Congrats! Unfortunately, that means you won't be eligible to win next month since you hit three in a row again.... And if I see correctly, we can add an 11th as well since my MP activity this month has earned me Hammer's Pilot of the Month.

    Alas, there's also bad news: the e-mail system on the server seems to really not like us. I've not received several LoC-e-mails for myself, I only received ONE for LT Benjo, even though he earned more, and I'm pretty sure I m issed a few medal e-mails. Also, the COM didn't receive several BSF e-mails. So all pilots: check to see if your activity log in this report reflects all you did!

    For those MP pilots - The Hammer on Patrol competition will be continued on the SP front, but now also a spin-off on the MP front: Hammer on Recon! Every week, the pilot who grabs most beacons in a single match (Domination match) wins, and the same goes for the pilot with the most kills in a single match (Team Battle match) wins. There's also a monthly structure similar to the Hammer on Patrol. I don't know about you, but I submitted my first screenshot of a match I flew yesterday. The game is on!

    With that, I am not following our COM. HoP for July has ended, since his next report will be in August. For Delta squadron however, July will end with my next report, next August the 3rd. So any activity you have in the coming week will still count for July.

    Competition wise, two new squadron competitions have been approved by the SOO. See the competitions section below for details. I do admit I was negligent, I completely forgot to announce the fiction competition, Delta's Spice Run. As such, the start date is now, and the submission date has been extended until August 11th.

    The Delta's Top Ace competition will kick off on Friday (August 1st) and run for three months, with monthly winners. ALL activity will count for this competition, so let's see what we can do. If your entry for Delta's Spice Run is received on or after August 1st, it too will count :)
     

      In the headlines this week

  • Beta CMDR and Delta FLIII Flight Leader are still open!
  • SOO Zosite ws promoted to Vice Admiral this week!
  • Hammer monthly competitions done with Delta taking the biggest slice of the medal-pie
  • New squadron competitions about to begin!
     
  •   Joke of the week

    PS: I'm trying not to get dupes in this, but the year is long and google is fast running out of pics :)

    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.

    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.

  • Delta's Spice Run
    While cleaning out the old bunk of a former Delta pilot, a considerable stash of spice was found. We need to get
    rid of it! Write a short fiction (no more than 1000 words) on how we're gonna get rid of it without the COM
    finding out! EXTENDED Submissions due no later than August 11th.

  •   Wrapping up

    So, I might as well keep track of my goals list here :) I also added a goal with regard to the bug reports even though that's a TACcy thing and not a CMDR thing.
  • be promoted to Templar in the Fleet Commander's Honor Guard (54 points to go)
  • be promoted to Ace 1st class in the Combat Ratings (265 points to go)
  • release 100 squadron reports (9 to go)
  • close at least 100 bug reports (90 to go)

    Am I the only one who has compiled a list of goals to achieve in the TC? If you got one, what's on it. Perhaps I can add more goals myself :)
