ISD WARRIOR WEEKLY REPORT #8

REPORTING OFFICER: Rear Admiral Zekk Terrik
DATE SUBMITTED: March 1 2021
FROM THE DESK OF THE COMMODORE

It's that time again. It's the end of the month and your CMDRs are busy processing your shinies. I noticed a slight uptick in activity this month, which was great to see.

Warrior MP night was a pretty decent success, enough that I'd like to try it again. I will probably be sending out another address after all four squadrons finish their MSEs and I have a good look at how activity went for February. I encourage you all to read and please respond with any pertinent feedback. My airlock is always open.

Warriors Stand Together was a pretty solid success and I'd like to try it again in the future, with a slight twist to the scoring system. I'll be coming out with an art competition basically as soon as Miles approves it.

I only have one submission for History of the Warrior, hoping for more...you still have a couple weeks left!

WARRIOR ROSTER
  • The roster currently stands at 46 members.
  • We regret the loss of COL Daniel Stephens to the Reserves, and hope he'll rejoin us soon.
    • FLEET NEWS
    • Make sure you catch episode 7 of The TIE Pilot Podcast at this link, where CM Jack Wynand and I discuss the early history of the EH with SA Maverick. We have migrated ALL episodes of TTPP to the official EH YouTube channel.
    • I am proud to welcome COL Doyon to the crew of The TIE Pilot Podcast. We are currently working on episode 8!
    • Led by COL Mordechi Wolfe of Sin Squadron, we have progressed to Phase II of Project Sovereign. CPT Genie and COL Silwar have taken the lead in designing the Imperial Armory.
    • A new TIE Corps logo is soon to be released! It's my understanding that we are just working on the coloring.
    • The Squadron XO position has been formalized within the TIE Corps. Congratulations to MAJ Hermann of Sin, CM Victor O'Brien of Kappa, LCM Wodi Untok of Theta, and CM Frenchie6 of Rho Squadron. Your actual assignments should be coming down shortly.
    SHIP NEWS
    • I have had a couple of people reach out to me about being long-term interested in a CMDR spot. I want to encourage anyone who's interested, even if you've been a CMDR before, to reach out to me so we can begin the process.
    • History of the Warrior competition is out! See it in the competitions section below!
    • Warrior MP night was a good success, looking forward to doing it again! I am also looking to draft people interested in hosting it, which will give us more flexibility. Maybe rotate the hosting between squadrons? Thoughts?
    • Warriors Stand Together standings: - 1st place - Pickled Yoda with 182, 2nd place - acetiepilot with 98, 3rd place - Wodi Untok with 72. You still have until the end of the day Pacific time!
    SHIP COMPETITIONS

  • History of the Warrior - You may notice that the Warrior currently has no backstory on our Wiki page. It is time to create one.

    Turn in a new fiction of at least 200 words to qualify! Please email it directly to zekkterrik@gmail.com.

    I will judge the best submissions. Please note that there is an entry for an ISD Warrior on Wookieepedia, but this may not be the same Warrior!

    Let's get creative with this because it WILL be added to the official EH wiki when I choose the winner and become EH canon! Did this ship serve during the Galactic Civil War or did Ronin have it built? What famous battles did we participate in and what famous heroes have been stationed on this ship? Famous drunken parties? Remember that time we saved the fleet from certain destruction? Get as creative and as in depth as you want!

  • Warriors Stand Together - We will show the rest of the TIE Corps why we are the flagship - because Warriors stand together. We stand strong in our bonds of teamwork and camaraderie.

    Let's show them our teamwork! From now until the end of February, earn points by flying with other Warrior pilots. Any Star Conflict match with another Warrior pilot is worth 1 point per match. Any XvT, XWA, BF2, or Squadrons game with another Warrior pilot is worth 2 points per match.

    Earn multipliers by playing with other pilots. Example: if you play with at least one other pilot during the competition, your multiplier is x1 (this gets you on the scoreboard). At least two other pilots, x2. At least three others, x3. And so on. If you play against each other, the losing pilot will still have their multiplier increased, but they will not be awarded their 1 or 2 points.

    To participate in the competition, send your screens directly to zekkterrik@gmail.com. And yes, playing with your beloved COM can increase your multiplier. ;)

    • FLEET COMPETITIONS

    Here’s some fleet-wide competitions currently going on:

  • TIE Corps In Battle

    • TIE Fighter - TIE TC 223 The Search for Mosh

    X Wing vs TIE Fighter - XvT TC #48 Bravo Company Training

    X Wing Alliance - XWA TC 42 ECR V Training Maneuvers

  • SP Ace of the TIE Corps 2021

    • Every Single Player mission flown earns the pilot a point on the Kill Board and the top three pilots at the end of the month earn medals. Yearly, the top four pilots earn medals.

    Each mission only counts once for the year, but missions flown in previous years can be reflown for points on the Kill Board (but not additional FCHG points). The Kill Board statistics on the TIE Corps 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. The top pilot at the end of the year also receives the title of SP Ace of the TIE Corps 2021.

  • March COO Objective Scramble: The Invincibles

    • Pilots, There will be a rotating COO Objective each month for a chosen platform and goal. This month is based upon a combination of two benchmarks in Dogfight, the most kills combined with the least deaths.

    Objective: Submit your best game scoreboard screenshots from Squadrons Dogfight mode containing the most kills and the least deaths via e-mail at tc-combat-ops-office@googlegroups.com between March 1, 2021 (0:00 GMT) and March 31, 2021 (23:59 GMT). The COO and COOAs will have access to these submissions and place them in an online tally. At the end of the month, the top three pilots will be determined and be given awards.

    In the case of a tie score, the determining factor is which pilot had the least deaths. If kills and deaths are tied, score will be the breaker.

    To encourage further participation, each winning pilot per month will be given a rating of 3 points at maximum, scalable to 2 or 1 if less than 3 pilots participate a month. The top three pilots at the end of the year will attain the annual awards.

  • COO's Star Wars Challenge Episode VII - 2021

    • Pilots,

    Welcome to the 2021 refresh of the COO's Star Wars Challenge.

    Platforms Involved: X-Wing vs TIE Fighter, X-Wing Alliance, Squadrons.

    Objective: Accumulate the most missions in a Star Wars branded approved multiplayer platform. You may submit PvP battles (Legion of Combat) or PvE battles (Legion of Skirmish). You have from 00:00 GMT on the first day of the month to begin and your submissions must be approved by the Combat Operations Office no later than 23:59 GMT on the last day of the month.

    At the end of the month the totals will be tallied for each pilot's LoC and LoS scores and totaled into a sum. The top three scoring pilots will receive the respectively monthly reward based on ranking.

    There will also be an ongoing annual ranking so you are encouraged to continue participation. The top pilot will be given 3 points for that month towards that ranking, reduced to 2 or 1 if there are less than 3 pilots participating each month. At the end of the year, the top three pilots overall will receive the annual awards.

  • Squadrons Completionist

    Given the current set of achievements in the game of Squadrons, a race for the entire TC on who will complete all the achievements of the game first. Any new achievements that will be added after Oct 2020 do not need to be completed.

Neko will choose her favorite and the runners-up.

    I'm extremely happy with the slight uptick in activity I've seen, let's keep the momentum going! Things are already getting better! As always if I can help you in any way at all, whether you are on the Warrior or not, please don't hesitate to reach out to me! I really appreciate those that turned out to Warrior MP night (every squadron was represented if you count CM Firebreaker crashing the show). Let's get some good submissions for History of the Warrior!

    Until next time, the only way forward is THROUGH!
