Commodore's speech

First of all, I'd like to advise all Hammer pilots that any and all knowledge of the Hammer's current mission (and all its missions) is classified. I'm sure we've all read the INN news reports this past week. Whatever they think they know, they are fishing for information. As always, our only mission is to protect the Emperor's Hammer territories. Do NOT divulge any information whatsoever to them!

What you should do however, is join the One Hammer to Rule Them All competition. The trivia is open to all, and the amount of submissions so far is far far below expectations. Not to mention depressing.

As announced earlier, week 3 will be extended until Tuesday. Seems some people don't actually read this report.... Meanwhile, week 4 will begin and end as scheduled. Also, I've corrected the scores I mailed out last Monday - it seems I completely missed COL Harvey's submissions. It made no difference for the medals, but will for the points awarded.

The big discussions on Star Wars Uprising continued this week on the mailing list. I'm still not sure if I like the game or not. Maybe I need to play it a wee bit more.

The LO TIE Fighter Knock Out started this week, and as I expected I got hopelessly outgunned by LC Tempest. Good luck to you sir!

Other than all this, it was a pretty quiet week. As such, this is a pretty short report. To finish it up, kudos to AD pellaeon who managed to finally break CPT Hawkins' winning streak in the Weekly Riddles competition. Yay!

    Commodore's Competitions

    One Hammer to rule them all

    The rules are simple: Each week you will be given a flying and a non flying assignment. You can submit an entry for either, or both. Each will yield a weekly winner and a weekly runner-up. Each player gets 5 pts for a win, 4 pts for a runner-up, 3 pts for a 3rd, 2 pts for a 4th, and everyone else gets 1 pt. At the end of the 4 week, there will be a top 3 for the flying part and a top 3 for the no flying part, yielding the appropriate medals. Each week, the assignments will be different, and flying assignments will be a mix of SP and MP. Your round #3 answers can be submitted until the end of Tuesday, CET. Round 4 submissions are taken as of now.

    Round #3 Flying Assignment: Fly a Star Conflict PvE mission on Tier 1: highest amount of credits earned wins. Screenshots to be submitted to the COM for the competition, don't forget to submit them through the website to earn a Legion of Skirmish!
    Round #3 Non-flying Assignment: Trivia: complete the 10 trivia answers you can find at the given URL (link to trivia questions). Note that

  • you must be logged into the TC database to be able to access the questions or submit your answers
  • Each competitor gets the same questions, but in a different order
  • You can only submit your answers ONCE, but you do not have to leave the window open
  • You have to submit all answers in one go
  • IMPORTANT: you can only submit answers ONE time, hitting the submit button will end your competition
  • Winners decided based on number of correct answers and time needed to complete the trivia, your time begins when you first see the questions!

    Round #4 Flying Assignment: Fly TIE free 99. Your score is the laserless score multiplied by the # of warheads fired, divided by the # of warhead hits - whoever gets closest to 3274 points wins.

    Dempsey's Weekly Riddles

    Every week, the report will have a riddle. First pilot to send the correct answer to the mailing list wins. Each victory earns you an IS-BR. Unless it's a 5th victory, you then get a IS-SR. Unless it's a 10th victory, which gives you an IS-GR. A 25th victory will give you an IS-PR!

    This week's riddle: The one who invented this, doesn't want it. The one who bought this, doesn't need it. The one who does need it, doesn't know it. What is it?

    Last week's winner: AD Pellaeon

    Current standings: CPT Hawkins: 10; FA Woody: 6; LC Clark: 5; AD Pellaeon : 3; LCM Hav Antiel: 2; HA Bonini, GN Pickled Yoda, COL La'an, LC Tempest, MAJ Fenn, CM Jast, CM Doc, CM Archenksov: 1
