Beta Squadron Weekly Report #15

Welcome to the fifteenth Beta Squadron Weekly Report!

We had a solid week with lots of chit-chat and moderate activity levels. The trivia went on strong, with commander Ups joining last week's trivia-trio, boosting it to a... quadrillo? Hopefully the trend will stick and we'll have 5 participants by Friday!
Speaking of trivia, Lieutenant Lommax showed the rest of the Betans how to play, winning for the second time in a row! Congrats on your Bronze Ribbon, LT!

Another great news is the arrival of Colonel Doyon! Welcome to Beta, Colonel, hope you will have fun blasting random people out of the sky with your Missile Boat Mk. II!

Lieutenant Commander Ups and myself indulged ourselves in the joys of Galactic Starfighter, getting our butts handed to us multiple times... it was still fun, though! I'd love to fly with other members of Beta, too. I know Star Conflict takes up most of the space-time(-continuum), but even 2 games in GSF would be great! I know we can't report it yet, but we can keep our screenshots and submit them once the game is implemented into the TC site, so it's not a waste of time to fly.

As usual, Star Conflict activity was focused around colonel Zoron and Stephens. Keep it up, boys!

We still have two weeks left of February, Beta's Training Excersize is XvT-TC 33: Wing XV: Python Squadron. Let's try to get some squad high-scores! After completing the battle, you will get this nice holo-medal, which is not good for anything, but looks nice:

Well, that blue is a bit bright, but whatever. A shinie is a shinie, regardless of color or the fact that it only exists in our datapads. To the training room!

Star Wars Fun Fact of the Week

In early drafts of the script of Star Wars: A New Hope, R2-D2 could speak standard English, and had a rather foul vocabulary. Although all of Artoo's English speech was removed, many of C-3PO's reactions to it were left in.
