Wing XIV weekly report #9
COL Gidda, 11/16/2003


- WING NEWS -

Greetings everyone!
It's good to see such a high flying activity from many pilots, especially from all our new Lieutenants. Then I wish to personally commend Phantom and CrimsonFury for flying a lot and give the good example to their pilots and CM Shikie who has completed 18 battles this week, excellent work!

On the Multiplayer side congratulations to LT Big Poppa K and CPT Drako of Diamondback who got 4 LoCs and 1 DFC this week! Unfortunately our MP Top Ace, CM Machinari, transfered to the Vanguard to become the new Echo Squadron Commander. It is sad to have lost a good pilot like him but I'm also very happy for his promotion, congratulations Mach I couldn't think to a better pilot for that CMDR spot.

CM Penfold transfered to Reserves due to a new RL job (congratulations! :p) and the new Asp Squadron Commander is MAJ Tyr Anasazi. Good luck Tyr, do some practice with your new TIE Phantom and keep those Asp pilots in shape! ;-)

The most important competition currently running is the Beer Cup or Sovereign vs Intrepid & Vanguard. Battles to fly are XvT-TC 75, XWA-TC 24, TIE-TC 211 and participation seems to be good so far. Remember that I expect all pilots to submit AT LEAST one pilot file for this competition whereas I expect CMDRs to complete ALL three battles, deadline is 30th November so you have plenty of time to do that.

Then there's the Realistic Combat competition. This isn't as important as the Beer Cup because it's "just" a Wing-wide competition still I'd like to see a good participationbecause Cooperative Multiplayer is very fun. Today I have received Krayt's submission: Crimson Fury, Cutter and Arid have flown together against the evil Rebels, they defeated them and got a good score too, well done!

Congratulations to LCM Arid Foxtrot who won the third ASF Recruitment competition and got a shining Imperial Star with Gold Ribbon and to CM Spade who received an Imperial Star with Silver Ribbon for winning the Create a Battle Plotline contest. Too bad the OPS still has to process our MSE medals, I hoped to list them in this report but I guess we have to wait until next report.

I want to conclude saying that with departures of Penfold and Machinari we are down to 43 pilots. It's time to start some recruitment effort again, be sure that everyone who will bring "fresh meat" into the Snakepit will be rewarded with a special prize.

Intrepid Combat Patrol:
Start Date: 10/27/2003

Mission Used: XvT Free #73

Medals to be awarded: IS-SW to all members of winning Team, IS-BW to all members of 2nd Team.

Details:
Fly XvTF-73 in Co-Op mode, it's up to CMDRs whether to stick to Flights roster or create mixed Teams (i.e. 1 pilot from Flight I and 2 pilots from Flight III) but each Team must have either 2 or 3 pilots (for obvious reasons 1 pilot Teams aren't allowed!). Once a Team has completed the mission ALL pilots of that Team must send me their ZIPPED pilot file and a screenshot showing the mission scores. The total score of a squadron will be calculated summing the Teams score.
