Gamma Squadron Report

Weekly Report #12 – Submission date: November 21st 2011

Introduction

Welcome to another Gamma Report!

The first week of the TC Flying Comp has ended! So far, we only had 3 pilots submitting files: me, Tempest and Impulse (with Vip also giving it a go). I urge the rest of you to participate, as even one pilot file can greatly assist the squadron. Right now, the scoreboard places Gamma in second place, behind Delta, whose pilots performed admirably in the first week. We didn’t do badly at all, but if we are going to make it against them, we’ll have to do better.

Second week assignment has been released. All pilots are to fly TIE-Free 282, XvT-Free 185 and XWA-Free 145, until November 27th. Get to your fighters!

The TC Ghost Story fiction competition was won by yours truly. Obviously, the only way I can win a fiction competition is by no one else taking part. But YEY for my new IS-GR!!

All priority should be given to the TC Flying Comp, but, if you manage to fly its missions, and still wants something to fly, don’t forget that Mission of the Week is still going on. Check this week’s assignment in the Competitions Center!

The award for The Black of Black – October – was resubmitted, and is waiting approval, which should happen very soon!

Competition Center

* TC Flight Comp
From the SOO: With a duration of 4 weeks I will post an XvT/XWA/TIE Free mission to complete within 7 days at the beginning of every week, with points awarded for participation, and bonuses for high scores and squad participation.  The rules have already been looked at by CMDRs and a few minor changes have been made to bring you this shiny new polished version...

Pilot file submitted = 2 Points per pilot
Submitting Files for all 3 Platforms (per week) = 3 Point (Bonus)
Highest Score for Platform (peer week) = 3 Points (XWA/XvT/TIE) (Bonus)
50% Squad Participation (per week) = 2 Points (Bonus)
100% Squad Participation (per week) = 4 Points (Bonus)

Weekly Award: - IS-GW for Highest Score per Platform
Final Award:      - IS-PW for Pilot scoring 2 or more Weekly Top Scores
                           - IS-GR for every participating member of winning squadron
                           - IS-SR for every participating member of runner-up squadron

Winning squadron will be awarded the honorific of "TCCOMs Own" to be held until next competition.
Winning CMDR will be awarded the honorific of "Wing Commander" (not the position, but as a "Senior CMDR" title)
Not the most complicated comp idea in the world, but I hope we will see some activity generated.

Submissions of pilot files will as usual be to CMDRs, with CMDRs sending me their personal files.  I will update a scores table on this e-mail group and the MB every week, and announce the next weeks missions the same way.
