Beta Squadron Weekly Report #5

Another Monday, and another Report.  This time drinking coffee during cause it's just some tasty stuff.  Heath bar creamer!

New Recruits!!  Welcome aboard to SL Lady Labyrinth and SL Coffeezone.  Both of whom join Flight 3, and will likely be moving to LT pretty soon, once I see an LoC.  I already know they play Star Conflict a bit so give the game a go if you havn't lately and get some squad matches going.  Labyrinth has also obtained an MOI already, and was within like......minutes of joining.  Nice Work!

In Ship-Wide news, our fearless leader Woody has jumped on the Star Trek Online bandwagon.  I havn't had a chance to talk with him about what type of character he made, but I'm sure he'll have some fun with it.  Despite its many flaws, it does have some good stories.

Beta's Weekly Acitivty Competition

Sept. Week #1 Results:

Upsidexumop: 14 Kills, 15 Misses

Grats to Upside for his win this week.  I can't believe no one wanted to go shoot Gungans.  I'm highly disappointed!  Next time I tell you to go shoot Gungans......damnit, you go shoot Gungans!!!!

Week #2: Sept. 8th - Sept. 15th, 2014

Make the Kessel Run!  Another flash shooter taking down some TIE's.  Damn rebels!  This one can be a little tricky (cause it's buggy).  You have 2 views, an Upper & Lower Gun, make sure you watch the little map at the top right to see enemies and switch guns as you see fit.  Use the Red/Blue sections of the mini-map, or the bottoms in the bottom left & right to switch.  The buggy part is the gun sometimes continues firing so I'd use a burst type trigger finger, if you know what I mean. (double taps ftw)

Per usual, Highest Score wins!  Submit your screenshots any way you see fit.  Take a PrtScn and paste in email, or use a camera phone and email that way.....I don't care, long as it's visible and you shoot stuff ;)  I'll even hop on a messenger of your choice if you want to share that way.  (Skype, Steam, Raptr, Yahoo, MSN....etc.)

Activity

The Start of September brought us a couple new recruits.  I'm still flopping around games as it's my nature.  I'd probably say I lean towards STO, but I think it's cause I like the flying more.  The flight in SWTOR is just.....meh.  I keep trying and trying and I still kinda hate it every time lol.  Kudos to those that can enjoy it though.  If it were more like the old SW sims, or even a bit of Star Conflict, I'd probably play that game "full time", so to say.  STO is kinda more "naval" style in a sense.

Conclusion

For Victory!

Ending another report with some mentions of what games I'm playing.  The same 3 take up most of my time, SC, SWTOR & STO.  I do play a little Civilization 5 here and there, and picked up Madden 15 for PS3 so been getting into that a little bit.  I don't play online, cause people are exploiters but I love Franchise mode and keeping a team running for many seasons.

For those of you not playing anything TC supported - try to at least say hi from time to time, let me know what you're up to and if everything is ok.  If you havn't tried any of the games mentioned, I will reiterate that they are free to play, and can actually get a lot accomplished without paying real money.

Go fly something!!
