Beta Squadron Report - July 4th 2020
Summer time!
July finally arrived, with the celebration of Canada (July 1st) and the US (today!). Normally I would expect a slow summer, with all people going somewhere for a few weeks, but with COVID, it’s hard to tell what the plans are. So, I’m expecting you to be active!
Fleet news
- The first squadron of the recommissioned ISD Challenge has been selected - Welcome back, Inferno squad! CPT Drake Starfire has been appointed as the first CMDR of the Challenge. Congrats!
Squadron News
Our last recruit joined this week : Welcome, SL (now LT) Dorjan Kell!
Congrats to our pilots for their promotion to LT: Dorjan Kell, BonkTheGonk, EvilGrin!
Know your Beta Round 1 has a winner! Congrats to you, LT BonkTheGonk!
Maverick or Iceman has been a TOTAL victory for the CMDR. Just kidding, it was nice to see you participate! I’ll get a new mission this week.
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
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*

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
