Beta Squadron Report - October 3rd 2020
RtF is over and Squadrons begin!
Hectic week, with the end of Raise the Flag, the launch of Star Wars Squadrons and other bigs news! A lot of stuff is happening in the fleet and, of course, it’s also affecting Beta Squadron.
Fleet news
Raise the Flag is over! You can follow the results here: http://rtf.tsaunders.net/ Congrats to all winners.
Star Wars Squadrons has been out since yesterday. I’ve played it a bit already and while it’s not a replacement of TIE Fighter or X-Wing Alliance, it’s still fun. Once we have guidelines from the COO, I’ll set up a competition for it.
The Empire’s Wrath is still going on! With less pilots now...you can follow the competition here: http://bracket.emperorshammer.org/
High Admiral Elwood the Brave is stepping down as COM of the ISD Hammer. Sad to see you go, Woody. Thank you for your time and trust in your CMDRs.
Grand Admiral Rapier has officially announced we’re moving out! If you have any kind of activity you want to do about this, you can email or contact the FC to discuss it with him.
If you'd like to share your Playstation Network ID or Xbox gamertag with the rest of the TIE Corps, send an email to tccom@emperorshammer.org or send a DM to FA Plif on Discord if you want your info added to the list.
Squadron News
Lots of new recruits are joining Beta lately! Welcome SL MadTitan ans SL IronBack!
LT Corran Shub left Beta to join Lambda Squadron as FL. I wish you well and a lot of success in your future LT, and thank you for your time in Beta!
SL BrickyT has been promoted to LT! Well done!
Beta squadron has a new patch, showing the new fighters we’re flying, thanks to LT BrickyT for his work!:
Competitions
Here’s a few fleet-wide competitions currently going on:
The Empire’s Wrath
Created by LT EvilGrin, it’s a double knockout XvT tournament where you fly against other pilots, until there’s only one - you, the winner, who gets a shiny IS-GW! You can follow it here: https://challonge.com/fr/ylygen58
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.
Everyone's a Critic
You fly a battle and think it’s the best ever? Why don’t you write a review about it?
You get better medals the more you write reviews! It’s a nice way to not only get involved in the fleet, but to fly great battles made in the past.

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.
A full list of all available competitions is here: http://tc.emperorshammer.org/competitions.php?id=current.
