Beta Squadron Report - May 30th 2020

First battle!

Imperial Storm II is ongoing, and we have our first battle against Warrior’s battlegroup. We need to fly as much as we can! 

Fleet news 

• The Fleet Commander has declared that Discord will be our « official » communication platform, meaning that Telegram will be used mostly for random stuff, while Discord will be for all communications, including serious (and not so serious) stuff. If you aren’t using Discord already, please do so!

Squadron News

A new pilot has joined Beta squadron, welcome SL Jack Be’Flippen! 

As mentioned in a separate email, you have until Monday evening (GMT) to fly TIE-FREE #262. Submit your pilot file as usual, and then send your BSF report to GN Phoenix for official participation. I’ll take care of them too, just to make sure he gets it :)

You can also fly any official MP game. The more we fly the more we get points!

Last chance to participate in the TIE Corps in Battle and Everyone’s a critic competitions for May!. It doesn’t require a lot of time and it’s fun to do. May’s assignements are: 

• TIE-TC battle 96: Deep Strike
• XvT-TC battle 77: Assassination Time
• XWA-TC battle 65: The Garuda - The Fight Continues

You fly them, send your BSF, once they’re approved, send the confirmation to FA Plif and write a review on the TC’s administration page. Simple isn’t it?  

Don’t forget to join our Discord channel! It’s a nice place to get to know your fellow pilots and other members of the TIE Corps. Here’s the link: https://discord.gg/tqj4qkN

Competitions

Imperial Storm Deux is going on! See what I wrote just above for more details :P

We have currently two competitions in Beta squadron: 

Recruitment Boost Juice - In addition to the Medal of Instruction for a new member, you’ll get an Iron Star - Bronze Ribbon for recruiting 1 member to Beta squadron, and Iron Star - Silver Ribbon for 2 members and more. This is the last weekend for this one!

Beta Squadron Ru(i)n-on - I’ve sent an original post this week. Your mission: Write a single post that ‘’ruins’’ the story. Last week-end for that one too!

Here’s a few fleet-wide competitions currently going on: 

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.

Trivia Grand Tour: Season Five

• Weekly competition, where we test your Star Wars knowledge and your quick wit.

Everyone's a Critic

• You fly a battle and think it’s the best ever? Why don’t you write a review about it?

The more reviews you write, the best medal you get! It’s a nice way to not only get involved in the fleet, but to fly great battles made in the past.

TIE Corps in Battle 2020

• Every month, a battle is selected for XWA, XvT and TIE. We fly it, we beat the high score, we get a lot of points, and at the end of the year, we get nice, shiny medals. AND YOU CAN DO ‘’Everyone’s a Critic’’ AT THE SAME TIME! *mind blown*
