    Welcome to another Delta squadron weekly status report, folks.

    After being away for three days, I remember the time where I would open up my email inbox and find 3 or 4 e-mails there regarding the TC. Fortunately, those day are over!

    Lessee, in no order of importance, just what comes to mind: a kazillion e-mails about the new and upcoming Star Wars Episode VII. This should be good.

    Several new cadets have left PLT Daedalus behind them and received their assignments, welcome to you all. It's good to see these days we're acquiring new pilots faster than we are losijng old ones. It's a good change! Especially I would welcome SL Benjo who completes Delta squadron and makes us the only full squadron in the Fleet! Now to get rid of that pesky SL rank! Also kudos to LCM Cruise who finds himself on the receiving end of several Medals of Instruction because of this!

    When RA Woody became COM he created a few flying competitions. Which is nice for me as I finally get to participate in competitions again, and I set myself to winning both of those competitions. It's always good to win the first one, as they say in poker. And so I did. Yay me :)

    I've already lost count of how many Legions of Combat have been flooding into my inbox. Thank you for those!

    The COM has returned from his short LoA, and so have I. My next ones are already scheduled though: I ill be off the grid on May 14/15, and also on May 29 to June 1. I'll remind y'all at the time!

    Squadron wise, I would like everyone to participate in the Delta's Nerd Search competition due to start tomorrow! Details are explained below.

    The TC website email issues are out of my comprehension at this point. Stuff was getting lost, then everything worked, then stuff stopped working again. And started back up again. Always a fun thing, but rest assured it has the full attention of our Fleet Commander!

    The final details of the next Raise the Flag competition are also being worked on. Tis major competition is scheduled to run all through the month of June and I do hope everyone will participate in the total and utter obliteration of the ISD Warrior. The ISD Hammer shall reign supreme with Delta squadron as the leader of the pack!

    We have a new installment in the series of TIE Corps recruitment videos. Kudos once again to LCM Cruise for this one, And thanx for using MY uniform :)

    More congrats: COPL BubbaX for taking down last week's trivia, LT Simomime for getting his Commendation of Bravery and LCM Cruise for finally getting himself the coveted Distinguished Flying Cross.

    Have I said already that Delta is the best this ship has to offer? It shows! The Hammer Banner Competition>/font> has ended, and 1st place, 2nd place AND 3rd place went to Deltonians! Excellent showing guys!

  •   Important Competitions

    Competitions are the livelihood of this thing we do for fun. I encourage all of you to enter as many competitions as you want to/can. And just let me know about it! Don't forget to check out the website for more information.

    Delta squadron competitions

  • Delta's Weekly Trivia
    Each day of the week (Mon-Fri) you will receive an email with a trivia
    question, same as before. 3 pts for the first correct answer, 2 pts for
    second and 1 pt for 3rd. At the end of the week, the one with the
    most points wins the shiny. As usual, there's extra shinies available for
    accumulating set amounts of points.

  • Delta's Nerd Search
    We are all nerds, but which of you is the biggest of them all?
    Each day of the coming week (Mon-Fri) you will receive an email with 5 images to test your nerd-ness.
    Each image is to be guessed! Winner is the one with the most correct guesses.
    There's an extra shinie available for everyone who gets them all correct and proves his uber-nerd-ness!

    Wing I/ISDII Hammer competitions

  • Hammer on Patrol
    Each week the COM assigns 3 free missions in his report. Fly them for weekly points (highest score based),
    weekly platform and monthly overall winners get the shinies.

  • Hammer's Pilot of the Month
    For every flown SP mission from the TC mission compendium and for every LoC earned each pilot receives 1 point
    for the HPotM competition. The pilot with most points at the end of the month is the ISD II Hammer's
    Pilot of the month and receives an IS-GW. Second will receive an IS-SW and third an IS-BW.

    TC wide competitions

  • Ace of the TIE Corps
    Each mission flown during a month will count towards your score, with shinies for the top 3 pilots.
    At the end of the year, the TC's Top Gun will win a rare IS-PW!

  • MP Ace of the TIE Corps
    Each multiplayer victory flown during a month will count towards your score, with shinies for the top 3 pilots.

  • Star Conflict's Beacon Hunt 2
    This will be a test of your skill to capture as many beacons as you can in one round with a victory.
    In layman's terms, in a Beacon Hunt mode game, capture the beacon as many times as you can in one round.
