    Welcome to another Delta squadron weekly status report, folks.

    Lotsa stuff happened last week. First off, the April MSE was completed. And although I'm very excited about the Silver Star of the Empire that was awarded to both myself and LCM Cruise, and no more less happy about the Imperial Security Medal for LT Simomime, his first merit medal, I am not happy about the fact only three out of 12 pilots were awarded a medal. I'll be spending some time pondering ways to fix that in the coming week or so. But frankly, it's not within my ability. Some of you simply aren't active enough. While I know for some they're happy with the way it's going, if you're not you really have to do something about it yourself...

    Ok, next up - Raise the Flag. This massive competition is coming to us in June, and the prospect has already generated a lot of banter on the mailing list. In case you missed it, if RtF was decided by popular opinion, we might as well close dowhn the Warrior again to spare them from the shame of their massive loss!

    De you remember I commented on LCM Cruise's recruitment efforts? Well, this week he put that to shame with no less than FIVE new recruits! At this rate, the TCCOM will be forced to open up a new squadron before the start of RtF!

    The COM has started a new competition for the Hammer and I urge all of Delta to participate. Simply take some IWATS/IU courses on the EH website. Whoever passes most wins basically, and lots of you have few if no courses taken. Alas, I won't be able to participate myself as I've basically passed every course in the IU save for two. And those are offline or beyond my abilities....
    IMPORTANT Be sure to send the completing e-mail to COM Elwood the Brave for credit!

    Next up: Delta's Nerd Search Only 4 participants, which is a shame. Still, excellent work to CPT Shado Fenn who bagged first place with 46 out of 50 points. You, sir, are the biggest nerd in the squadron! Kudos to CPT Clark, who only trailed the Captain by a single point. Still, he bagged the trivia last week, both medals have been awarded!

    For people like me, who are stuck on a 64 bit system with no way to install the XWA patches, the news is good: earlier today, a group of beta testers has received the beta release of CPT Nutrientman's XWA Craft Pack. It's kinda like an EHSP for XWA, with almost all of the craft patches already included. If all testing goes well, the final release should be close!

    Last for the week: I'll be out of town on thursday and friday. If you do stuff that can't wait till Saturday, mail the COM directly.

  •   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 squadron competitions

  • 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.

    Wing I/ISDII Hammer competitions

  • Hammer on Patrol
    Each week the COM assigns 3 free missions in his report. Fly them for weekly points (highest score based),
    weekly platform and monthly overall winners get the shinies.

  • Hammer's Pilot of the Month
    For every flown SP mission from the TC mission compendium and for every LoC earned each pilot receives 1 point
    for the HPotM competition. The pilot with most points at the end of the month is the ISD II Hammer's
    Pilot of the month and receives an IS-GW. Second will receive an IS-SW and third an IS-BW.

  • Hammer Student of the Month
    Points for all IU/IWATS courses taken, bonus points for a perfect score. Whoever has most points at the end of
    the month wins.

    TC wide competitions

  • 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 2
    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.
