Beta Squadron Report - September 19th 2020
A flood of activity!
A lot of activity happened this week, from a lot of different pilots. I’m proud of you guys! I’ll get back in my TIE later today to do more battles.
Fleet news
Raise the Flag is still on! You can follow the results here: http://rtf.tsaunders.net/
Bonus competitions for RtF are: Graphics and Puzzle #2!
In less than two weeks, Star Wars Squadrons is out! A lot of pilots have pre-ordered it this week. I’ll conduct a poll soon in Beta about it!
GN Polo resigned from his position as CMDR of Tempest Squadron. A former pilot of Beta Squadron has been assigned as his replacement, COL Silwar Naiilo! Congratulations!
If you play Elite Dangerous, GA Rapier has set up a EH squadron in the game. If you search for EH94 or Emperor’s Hammer, you will find it - he’s accepting all applicants!
Empire’s Wrath is still going on; Wildfire and EvilGrin are still in the game!
If you'd like to share your Playstation Network ID or Xbox gamertag with the rest of the TIE Corps, send an email to tccom@emperorshammer.org or send a DM to FA Plif on Discord if you want your info added to the list.
Squadron News
LCM Germ has sadly left us for the Reserves. We’d like to thank him for what he’s done for Beta, and hope he will come back with us sooner rather than later!
LT Wildfire is the new Flight Leader of Flight II. Congrats!
We’ve done a tremendous effort for RtF; so did Lambda squadron, which is now above us. We have to increase our efforts, I want us to be the best Hammer’s squadron!
Competitions
Here’s a few fleet-wide competitions currently going on:
Raise the Flag:
This is the biggest competition of the year in the TIE Corps. The best ship, squadron and pilots are rewarded, and thus, we have to fight as best as we can! You can follow it here:
The Empire’s Wrath
Created by LT EvilGrin, it’s a double knockout XvT tournament where you fly against other pilots, until there’s only one - you, the winner, who gets a shiny IS-GW! You can follow it here: https://challonge.com/fr/ylygen58
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.
Everyone's a Critic
You fly a battle and think it’s the best ever? Why don’t you write a review about it?
You get better medals the more you write reviews! It’s a nice way to not only get involved in the fleet, but to fly great battles made in the past.

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.
A full list of all available competitions is here: http://tc.emperorshammer.org/competitions.php?id=current.

Final word
We’re on the right track for RtF, and I must say that I’m quite happy with your activity so far. We’re not done yet! I really want us to be the best squadron of the Hammer (which helps the ship too), so keep flying!
Stay safe and have a nice week,
