Beta Squadron Report - June 27th 2020
New ship!
I was going to write my report when the big news arrived: the TIE Corps has recommissioned an old ISD. Welcome back to the fleet, ISDII Challenge! As a former pilot of the Relentless, it will be the only nice thing I’ll say about it. Mark the date in your calendar! ;)
Fleet news
- HA Dempsey has been named Commodore of the recommissioned ISD Challenge. Congrats to her!
- A lot of new pilots has joined (and returned) the EH. Great news! And welcome all.
Squadron News
Some promotions this week: LT Io and LT Wildfire, congrats!
Flight Leader of Flight II has been selected. Congratulations, LT Germ! Thanks for your dedication.
3 competitions are running in Beta squadron at the moment:
- Ru(i)n-on : Write a single post, ruining the story of the OP
- Maverick or Iceman : Beat the CMDR score and you’re Maverick, if not, you can be my wingman anytime!
- Weekly trivia : Beta squadron related questions!
They’re quick to do! I’m expecting participation here!
Two new pilots joined Beta: SL BonkTheGonk and SL EvilGrin
Don’t forget that there’s a run-on going on Discord, channel #run-on. Don’t hesitate to participate!
Last week for TIE Corps in Battle and Everyone’s a critic competitions! It doesn’t require a lot of time and it’s fun to do. June’s assignements are:
- TIE-TC battle 97: Hammer's Week
- XvT-TC battle 78 - ZT Force: Tunake
- XWA-TC battle 66: The TAC's Star Destroyer
You fly them, send your BSF, once they’re approved, send the confirmation to FA Plif and write a review on the TC’s administration page. Simple isn’t it?
Don’t forget to join our Discord channel! It’s a nice place to get to know your fellow pilots and other members of the TIE Corps. Here’s the link: https://discord.gg/tqj4qkN
Competitions
Here’s a few fleet-wide competitions currently going on:
TC PvP Shootout
- A MP Event for the whole TC will take place from 22:00 (10:00 PM) GMT every Saturday if possible.
- Supported platforms are XvT and XWA and the main contacts are COL Horus Blackheart and the COO.
- Voice communication is preferable but not required to participate. Game hosting will be directed through GameRanger or a more suitable system based on compatibility and stability.
- A DFC will be awarded to the highest scoring pilot. COO guidelines required, which apply in full force (at least 3 different opponents, EH or not, defeated and +3 win/lose ratio, plus the need of having a minimum of 3 EH players playing on that game platform).
- Pilots will be awarded an IS-BW for participating in at least 10 matches.
Trivia Grand Tour: Season Five
- Weekly competition, where we test your Star Wars knowledge and your quick wit.

Everyone's a Critic
- You fly a battle and think it’s the best ever? Why don’t you write a review about it?
The more reviews you write, the best medal you get! It’s a nice way to not only get involved in the fleet, but to fly great battles made in the past.

TIE Corps in Battle 2020
- Every month, a battle is selected for XWA, XvT and TIE. We fly it, we beat the high score, we get a lot of points, and at the end of the year, we get nice, shiny medals. AND YOU CAN DO ‘’Everyone’s a Critic’’ AT THE SAME TIME! *mind blown*
https://tc.emperorshammer.org/competitions.php?id=3100
COO Monthly Assignment: The Wingman Strikes Back (Star Conflict PvP) :
This competition is geared towards getting the highest number of Assists in a single Player vs Player (PvP) battle in Star Conflict.
Every victory is counted even if it doesn't fulfill the requirements for the Legion of Combat.
Submissions to the competition are made through the database like any other Legion of Combat submission. While processing, the COO staff will look for new personal bests and update the spreadsheet. Non-LoC winning screens can be sent in this way and will be approved without an LoC being awarded.
Ace of the TIE Corps 2020:
Every Single Player mission flown wins a point, whoever has most points at the end of the month wins
Each mission only counts once for the year, but missions flown in previous years can be reflown. The Kill Board statistics on the TC website are final.
IS-GW/SW/BW for top 3 monthly, at the end of the year the top 4 pilots win IS-PW/GW/SW/BW.
Bi-Weekly Fictions:
Our WARD CPT Drake Starfire has made a bi-weekly fiction competition. Write anything you want of 2 500 words or less and submit it to the WARD. More info here: https://tc.emperorshammer.org/competitions.php?id=3130
A full list of all available competitions is here: http://tc.emperorshammer.org/competitions.php?id=current.

Flight Leader 3-1 Report #1
At ease,
Welcome to my first Beta Squadron FL report! This is a special first for me, as I started in Delta about 8 years ago and wrote FL reports there, then got promoted to be Beta CMDR at the time, and after my Tour of Duty I sat back as a flight member. So this is the very first FL report for me in Beta.
Enough blathering about me though. I'm very pleased to see that we have a full flight, and more than that, 1 pilot short of a full Squadron! I am sure we are all excited about the upcoming space sim, I'm definitely counting the days!
As I mentioned earlier in my check-in email, please don't hesitate to reach out to me with any questions you might have; I'm here to help.
Let's take a look at our activity next!

Final word
We nearly have a full squadron! Something that was my objective when we opened Beta squadron a few months ago. That’s great news! And now with a third ship coming up, we’ll have more opportunities for everyone. See you next week!
Stay safe and have a nice week,
