Beta Squadron Report - June 20th 2020
New people!
Well, if you haven’t seen the trailer for Star Wars: Squadron, you’re certainly not in the Emperor’s hammer, as it was THE subject from last week. And we got a lot of new recruits, along with some veterans coming back, thanks to the game of course but also by the work of LT Germ, who did an excellent job on recruitment. I’d like also to thank everyone else who’ve been talking to the new people coming on Discord (LCM Genie, Zekk, Alejandro), great job!
Fleet news
- As mentioned, EA has announced a new Star Wars game coming October 2nd, Star Wars: Squadron. You may love or hate EA (I’m not a big fan either), but this game is what the EH has been waiting for years. Check the trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCcfJ9uEwvs
- Imperial Storm Deux is still raging! A new battle is happening right now; the mission has been selected: XvT Free #11. In addition to that, fly as much as you can in MP to get LoCs and LoSs!
- Epsilon CMDR is now closed! Our very own CM SkyShadow has been selected as CMDR. Congrats to him!
Squadron News
CM SkyShadow has been promoted from LCM to CM, and from FL to Epsilon CMDR! Congrats, a well deserved promotion!
Three new pilots have joined Beta: COL Silwar Naiilo, SL Io and SL Wildfire. Welcome! Glad to have you with us.
With the depart of CM SkyShadow, Beta’s Flight Leader of Flight II is opened. I’ll give you more information about this in a few days - stay tuned!
Don’t forget that there’s a run-on going on Discord, channel #run-on. Don’t hesitate to participate!
TIE Corps in Battle and Everyone’s a critic competitions for June has started! It doesn’t require a lot of time and it’s fun to do. June’s assignements are:
- TIE-TC battle 97: Hammer's Week
- XvT-TC battle 78 - ZT Force: Tunake
- XWA-TC battle 66: The TAC's Star Destroyer
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 fourth battle is ON! Fly XvT-Free #11 and as much MP games (Star Conflict, XWA or XvT) as you can. We need the victory!
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*
https://tc.emperorshammer.org/competitions.php?id=3100
COO Monthly Assignment: The Wingman Strikes Back (Star Conflict PvP) :
This competition is geared towards getting the highest number of Assists in a single Player vs Player (PvP) battle in Star Conflict.
Every victory is counted even if it doesn't fulfill the requirements for the Legion of Combat.
Submissions to the competition are made through the database like any other Legion of Combat submission. While processing, the COO staff will look for new personal bests and update the spreadsheet. Non-LoC winning screens can be sent in this way and will be approved without an LoC being awarded.
Ace of the TIE Corps 2020:
Every Single Player mission flown wins a point, whoever has most points at the end of the month wins
Each mission only counts once for the year, but missions flown in previous years can be reflown. The Kill Board statistics on the TC website are final.
IS-GW/SW/BW for top 3 monthly, at the end of the year the top 4 pilots win IS-PW/GW/SW/BW.
Bi-Weekly Fictions:
Our WARD CPT Drake Starfire has made a bi-weekly fiction competition. Write anything you want of 2 500 words or less and submit it to the WARD. More info here: https://tc.emperorshammer.org/competitions.php?id=3130
A full list of all available competitions is here: http://tc.emperorshammer.org/competitions.php?id=current.
