EPSILON CMDR: CM Hav Antiel REPORT DATE: 23 January 2016 |
|
There's sad news to deliver this week. Long-time Epsilon pilot COL "Six" Joe announced his retirement to the reserves. He returned to his Fleet Admiral rank when he transferred to the FRG Phoenix. It's always a sad day when a pilot retires, and I was personally just getting to know Joe. Nevertheless, I wish him well in retirement, and I hope he can rejoin our ranks some day. I do have some good news to report: I'm finally cleared for flight after getting my TIE Advanced sorted out (in other words, I have finally figured out how to get TIE Fighter running on my new laptop). Expect a special SP challenge from your CMDR in February. There's one week left in January's Epsilon Weekly Trivia, and this past week saw increased participation. COL Gyssler was the class of the field; he correctly identified all of the TIE variant craft, even the TIE ap-1 "Mauler" (or as CM Witcher calls it, "Sorry, but I don't think that's a TIE..."). Superlative work, COL Gyssler. Next week's theme is Imperial defectors. Finally, my secret search for a droid assistant has come to an end. Alas, there was only one submission, HA Dempsey's colorful submission R2-L1, AKA "Rainbow." Details to come in my next report. |

Tuesday: TIE/sr Scout Wednesday: Lancet Aerial Artillery Thursday: TIE ap-1 "Mauler" Friday: TIE/sh Shuttle |

I will summarize competitions that apply to Epsilon in this section, but you should always check the Competitions Center and Combat Center for full details on all competitions.

Three weeks in as Squadron Commander, I'd like to review progress on my goals:
The second and third goals are harder to measure. I've had some meaningful contact with Epsilon's pilots over the last two weeks, and I'm learning more about you all, both IC and in real life. You're starting to share some jokes with me, too; I'll never look at a TIE ap-1 without CM Witcher's succinct comments coming to mind. I was hoping someone from the squadron would have submitted a droid design for the contest, but the story's not over yet. Next up is a fiction contest to find out how R2-L1 came into my possession. I might even offer up a case of Epsilager to the members of the winning flight... I've ended my first two WSRs with some open-ended questions regarding Epsilon's pride and personality. In the end, I don't want to push it. You can't force an identity, just like you can't really choose your own nickname. So this is the last time you'll see my "personality" goal in this report, at least for a while. I'll give it time and let it develop naturally. Happy hunting, CMDR/CM Hav Antiel/Epsilon/Wing I/ISDII Hammer PC/ISMx3/IS-4BW-1GR-6SR-10BR/MoC-1poc-1goc-1soc-7boc/CoB/OV [DRAG] [none] {IWATS-BFM- CBX-CTW-HIST-MCBS-SFW-SM/4-TT-WIKI-XWAC} |
