    Welcome, ye pilots of ye TIE Corps, to which will be my last report for Delta Squadron.

    Although it's been months in the making, it still is a great loss to the TC that our SOO, VA Zósite Styles, was moved to the Reserves this week. Still, we have hope for his return - the last time he disappeared he came back as well.

    Of course, this opens up new opportunities (clouds and silver linings and stuff), and the Hammer's Commodore, VA Elwood the Brave was appointed the new SOO just yesterday. Congrats to you sir!

    This, of course, leaves the mighty ISDII Hammer without a Commodore, but I'm sure situation will be resolved shortly. With his departure, the Hammer on Patrol competition has ended prematurely. I'll go into the database later on to make the necessary changes.

    On another note - it seems that our friends at gog.com aren't the only ones releasing old Star Wars games. Yes, if your favorite game has been missing - try Humble Bundle. They have released several games that are also available on gog, but also some others that gog do not have, like Jedi Academy. And yes, it's available on Steam, but it seems it's available for offline play as well here.

    Next up - a friendly reminder to all TC pilots to get started on their submissions for The GoG Games: X-wing. Remember - X-wing Tour of Duties are twice as long as TIE Fighter battles, and they have no cheats!

    Although all the previous info in this report is great - of course there is one bit of news that trumps them all - our very own MAJ Clark earned himself a promotion to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel! For the remainder of this month, all drinks are on LC Clark!

    In the absence of a ship's Commodore, I will make the formal announcement that the ship's alert status has been raised to Code Red. With the reurn of HA Frodo, COL Gilbert H. Frown is on the loose, and emails on the TC Mailing List seem to indicate they're trying to dump him on the Hammer. Keep your eyes out for the scoundrel, and all personnel are ordered to shoot on sight. And I mean shoot to kill!

    Last bit of news this week: I'm giving myself a pat on the back, as I broke the 100 IS-BW barrier this week. Yay me. Only SOO Woody has more of these than I do, and the difference is only 8!

    Well, thus endeth this week's news. If I forgot anything, blame a very busy week.
     

      In the headlines this week

  • HA Frodo is back
  • MAJ Clark promoted to LC Clark
  • SOO VA Styles transferred to the Reserves
  • Hammer COM Elwood the Brave promoted to Strategic Operations Officer
  • January MSE pending approval
     
  •   Riddle of the week

    Every week, the report will have a riddle. First pilot to send the correct answer to the mailing list wins. Each victory earns you an IS-BR. Unless it's a 5th victory, you then get a IS-SR. Unless it's a 10th victory, which gives you an IS-GR. A 25th victory will give you an IS-PR!

    This week's riddle: If it takes 6 men 6 days to dig 6 holes, how long will it take 3 men to dig half a hole?

    Last week's winner: HA Daniel Bonini

    Current standings: VA Woody: 2; HA Bonini, COL La'an, CPT Fenn: 1

    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.

    Wing I/ISDII Hammer competitions

  • Hammer on Recon
    Each week, MP pilots can submit screenshots for Team Battle/Combat Recon matches (most kills wins)
    and Domination/Beacon Hunt matches (most beacons captured wins).
    At the end of the month, overall winners get extra 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.

    And this report ends this little stint as CMDR. It's been exactly 2 years and 4 months to the day (I started on october 8th :).
    My only regret is not reaching the rank of Imperator in the FCHG before it ends. I'm FIVEM/font> flippin' points short!
