    Hi all! Welcome to my 97th report for this squadron. If ever there is a time to resign, it will be after report 100!

    Don't worry, I have no plans of resigning in the near future :)

    Welcome to Delta Squadron, SL Smashhawk. May you soon lose that annoying SL rank and start your ascension through the ranks!

    Aside from the joyous occasion of a new addition to the squad, there's, one again, bad news as we're close to having to lose a pilot as well. I got one more shot to go. Also, on the terrible news side of things, I made a complete ass of myself this past week by finishing 4th in the HoP TIE edition, after havbing to resort to using the in-game cheats to be able to win this one. Of course, it dawned on me how I should have gone about things just about when it was far too late to rectifiy the situation. Fortunately I made up by winning the XvT and XWA editions, and getting a high score on the XWA mission, earning me a bonus point for the monthly standings. Which sort of makes up for it. A bit.

    Anyways - grats to Delta squadron! Those who have read the squadron report will notice we ruled at both Hammer on Patrol and Hammer on Recon this week. Out of the 10 medals, we earned 6, with the COM taking 3. That means only ONE medal went to out fellow squadrons on this ship. Come one folks, give us a challenge here! Grats as well to Nylan and Clark, who both grabbed 2nd places !

    As I semi-announced earlier this week, this week's trivia only had 4 rounds - back to 5 next week folks.

    Also, RA Nutrientman is working hard on getting all XWA missions flyable on 64 bit platforms. The installation isn't ideal, but it beats being unable to fly. And it's easy to do, which is a plus. Go fly some of them!

    Last big news for the week: LCM Nylan earned his next promotion in the Fleet Commander's Honor Guard, and is now a Paladin. Grats on that, sir!

    That's kind of it. We're awaiting the evaluation of the ship by the Admirals, which is probably going to happen soon. Expect some shinies :)

  • SOO still on LoA
  • New XWA patches out for XWATC 20, 40, 41, 50 and 51

    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.
