EPSILON SQUADRON WEEKLY REPORT #4
EPSILON CMDR: CM Hav Antiel
REPORT DATE: 31 January 2016
SQUADRON COMMANDER'S CORNER
    Greetings pilots.

    Thanks to Admiral Dempsey, I now have an R2 unit to help with my weekly reports. She’s still got a few bugs to work out, though. To be honest, I’m not sure where Dempsey found this thing, but who am I to complain? So, without further ado, allow me to introduce R2-L1.

    OK, hold on, let me shut her down and restart. Here we go.

    The first month of Epsilon Weekly Trivia is over. COL Gyssler wins with 18 points. Iron Star with Silver Ribbon has been awarded. Congratulations COL Gyssler.

    Wing I of Imperial Star Destroyer Hammer has a new commander. Major Narven Task is now Wing I commander. Congratulations Major Task. The commander has requested that any pilots wishing to “meet and greet” the major please submit form ITP-1449 Request for Introduction at least 48 hours in advance.

    CMDR Antiel still has not flown a single mission--

    OK, that’s enough. Thanks R2-L1. We’ll check back with you next week.

    Epsilon Weekly Trivia will continue in February. Thank you to COL Gyssler, CM Witcher, and GN Dunta Polo for your continued participation. I’m having a lot of fun running the contest, and I’d like to see more pilots responding. I’ll reach out to you this week for topic suggestions, so start thinking of ideas.

NEWS
  • MAJ Narven Task has been named the new commander of Wing I. Your very own CM Hav Antiel won the In Search of a Wing Commander competition. Check out MAJ Task’s wiki page here.

  • The first month of Epsilon Weekly Trivia is in the books, and COL Gyssler is the winner with 18 points. Last week’s theme was Pixelated Star Wars Characters. For the first time, I stumped the squadron with Wednesday’s entry. Let’s see if anyone else in the TC can figure it out:
  • Pixelated Star Wars Character


  • January’s Epsilon MP and SP Ace of the Month contests are over, and GN Dunta Polo and COL Gyssler have won, respectively. Nice flying, pilots! Now let’s get some more Epsilon pilots flying.

  • GN Dax Corrin hosts a 24/7 Star Wars Battlefront 2 server and GameShare has client files that will replace Gamespy here: https://filebase.gameshare.co/1-star-wars-battlefront-ii-client-files
COMPETITIONS

I will summarize competitions that apply to Epsilon in this section, but you should always check the Competitions Center and Combat Center for full details on all competitions.

  1. Epsilon MP Ace of the Month - Until 29 February - Fly PvP missions on approved platforms and send me your screenshots and totals each week. The Epsilon pilot with the most multiplayer victories in the month will receive an IS-BW.

  2. Epsilon SP Ace of the Month - Until 29 February - At the end of each month, the Epsilon pilot who flies the most single player missions will receive an IS-BW. Each mission flown is worth one point for the purposes of this competition. Missions with high scores are worth two points.

  3. Epsilon Weekly Trivia - Weekly - Every day, I'll send a Star Wars-related trivia question via email. Respond individually, and the pilot with the most points each week will receive an IS-BR. Additionally, the pilot with the highest score at the end of the month will earn an IS-SR.

  4. Epsilon Scholar of the Month - Until 29 February - Flex those Epsilon brains! Complete IWATS Courses (double points for a perfect score). The Epsilon pilot with highest score at the end of the month is awarded an IS-BR.

CLOSING COMMENTS
Non-flying activity held steady this week, but this is the first week in my short tenure in which no Epsilon pilots flew SP or MP missions. That’s not a good sign. I’m going to introduce a new fiction contest next week, and I’m still looking for the best way to engage some Epsilon pilots that I haven’t heard much from yet. And even though we have the SP and MP Ace competitions, I think I’m going to need to devise a new way to encourage some flying in this squadron. And that goes for me, too.

Happy hunting,
