Howdy folks. This will be my first Weekly Report as the new Beta Squadron Commander.
A salute to the former Commander, Kyle Kroan, who is still with us and snagged a vacant spot in Flight 1. I believe I can speak for everyone when I say thanks for your hard work in TC.
As some are aware, I've already made a handful of changes to the Squadron. First major one being the Beta Patch. While I didn't have a huge issue with the former, I decided to make the change anyway and give it a bit more modern look. Removed the old swords and replaced with Force Pikes. Also changed the TIE Defender silhouette to a TIE Advanced since there's 2 flights that use them, and none that fly a Defender. I've also changed our banner, which you can check on our roster page. (btw, it says Death's Gambit in the middle of the patch)
Another change was to the Nicknames/Mottos. I wasn't a huge fan of the Latin thing (no offense to anyone hopefully). I wanted myself, and any new members that join the Squad to know exactly what they meant, so I sat down a few minutes and changed them all. The overall motto, which translated to "For Victory!" (or perhaps To Victory....I like For).....I kept, as well as Death's Gambit. You can view all the changes in the Roster below.
Next big change is the Trivia. I'm sorry to those that are really big on it, but I've decided that I will not continue that particular activity. I'll be changing this to something a bit more active, like playing some Star Wars (or other) flash games and the like, which will be browser based stuff so everyone should be able to participate. Plus will just be 1 game a week, and will outline that in the next section.
Closing this section with............NEW UNIFORMS AVAILABLE!!! After working with Kyle on the new patch, he went ahead and updated everyones uniforms. It'd be really nice to see us all update our profiles and get these new ones out with the patch. I will be checking next week and whoever doesn't update, I'll make fun of you in every weekly report till you change it ;)
