Gamma Squadron Report

Weekly Report #13 – Submission date: November 27th 2011

Introduction

Greetings,

The TC Flying Comp is currently on its second week, but not for very long. I believe we’re not doing very well this week, since only three pilots submitted pilot files again. This is not enough to fight other squadrons. I hope next week we can do better.

As you have probably figured, participation in this competition is even more important than scoring, so, if you have little time, turn on in flight cheats, select easy difficulty setting and submit your pilot file. You can do all three assigned missions in just a few minutes, and greatly assist your squadron by doing so.

Third week assignment is TIE-Free 251, XvT-Free 211 and XWA-Free 125. If necessary, do what’s explained in the paragraph above, but go fly those missions!

News

* TC Flight Comp second week is about to end. Delta has first place, Gamma is second. FLY!

* Fly, even if you have to blaze through the mission with in flight cheats.

* Second week assignment is TIE-Free 251, XvT-Free 211 and XWA-Free 125!

Competition Center

* TC Flight Comp
From the SOO: With a duration of 4 weeks I will post an XvT/XWA/TIE Free mission to complete within 7 days at the beginning of every week, with points awarded for participation, and bonuses for high scores and squad participation.  The rules have already been looked at by CMDRs and a few minor changes have been made to bring you this shiny new polished version...

Pilot file submitted = 2 Points per pilot
Submitting Files for all 3 Platforms (per week) = 3 Point (Bonus)
Highest Score for Platform (peer week) = 3 Points (XWA/XvT/TIE) (Bonus)
50% Squad Participation (per week) = 2 Points (Bonus)
100% Squad Participation (per week) = 4 Points (Bonus)

Weekly Award: - IS-GW for Highest Score per Platform
Final Award:      - IS-PW for Pilot scoring 2 or more Weekly Top Scores
                           - IS-GR for every participating member of winning squadron
                           - IS-SR for every participating member of runner-up squadron

Winning squadron will be awarded the honorific of "TCCOMs Own" to be held until next competition.
Winning CMDR will be awarded the honorific of "Wing Commander" (not the position, but as a "Senior CMDR" title)
Not the most complicated comp idea in the world, but I hope we will see some activity generated.

Submissions of pilot files will as usual be to CMDRs, with CMDRs sending me their personal files.  I will update a scores table on this e-mail group and the MB every week, and announce the next weeks missions the same way.

Conclusion

I guess I should not expect more than 3 or 4 pilots participating in every round of this competition. This will place us most likely in second place overall, behind Delta, which is doing a better job at participation. This is not bad, but Gamma is better than that.

Can we turn this around in the second half of the comp?
