  •   Commander's notes

    Delta's Battle of the Flights has finished, and because several other competitions also ended this weekend, I heard the SOO, RA Zosite K. Styles has had to actually hire a cargo freighter to deliver all the earned shinies to our quarters! Congrats to all who won stuff. Which doesn't include me unfortunately. *cries*

    Congrats to MAJ Clark on his flight's victory. It was a heated fight, but unfortunately LT Cruise was at a disadvantage of having only 3 participants. Still, Flight II lost by only 4 points.... I will be running more of these competitions! Full results below.

    An extra congrats to LT Cruise who managed to defeat LC Woody for Ace of the Month this month! Nice going!

    More congrats in order, as our most junior pilot, SL Neo Roswell earned his promotion to full lieutenant! I'm sure we'll be seeing more of him soon!

    With that out of the way, I would like to remind everyone that my computer does not have unlimited storage space. And with the amount of emails that's been going through the mailing list, I fear that in seven years, 34 weeks, 12 days and 4 hours, my hard duisk will be completely filled up. AAHHHHHH

    Needless to remind everyone that the month is now over and as such, the MSE will be submitted to the TC CS shortly.

    If you pay attention to the mailing list, you may have noticed that again this week we had several reservists abandoning the sinking ship called M/FRG Phoenix. Never before in the history of the Empire did one ship lose that many pilots in this short a time! All we are waiting for now is HA Frodo March to realize he'd be better off on the Hammer than on the Phoenix.

    The mailing list is even more swamped than last week. Don't ask me how, but my inbox is being flooded!

    As you mayb have noticed in your email, Lambda commander COL Jarek La'an has issued a shipwide challenge on StarConflict MP flying. Unfortunately it seems we don't have enough MP flyers to accept this challenge. Maybe next time.

    Next up, the Encyclopediae Imperia has been reopenen for editing. Go and make yourself some pages!

    I'm probably forgetting stuff I should mention here. If so, my apologies. I do have a good excuse though... Or not. Or maybe I do. Darn, can't even think straight.

  •   Important Competitions

    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'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.

  • Ace of the TIE Corps
    Each mission flown during a month will count towards your score, with shinies for the top 3 pilots.
    At the end of the year, the TC's Top Gun will win a rare IS-PW!

  • MP Ace of the TIE Corps
    Each multiplayer victory flown during a month will count towards your score, with shinies for the top 3 pilots.
    At the end of the year, the TC's Top Gun will win a rare IS-PW!

  • Star Conflict's Beacon Hunt
    This will be a test of your skill to capture as many beacons as you can in one round with a victory.
    In layman's terms, in a Beacon Hunt mode game, capture the beacon as many times as you can in one round.
