Omega
Omega Squadron

Omega Squadron has chosen not to officially join the Competition, however, any Omega pilot wishing to join is still free to do so.


Purpose

This competition was originally started as a competition between the members of Alpha Wing, but was expanded to include the members of Devestator Wing and Omega Squadron.  It is designed to build esprit-de-corps among the TIE units by fostering competition among Imperial Navy Pilots.


Procedures

 A new mission set will be distributed every month.  Pilots will submit a TFR file with just the current missions flown.  Pilots will send all information to Grey Wolf 06 (71053,2124).  Pilots will only send one entry. Therefore, they should make sure that the file they send is the best they can do.  Name the TFR file using the following system:

Unit Designation + Flight Roster Number (as two digits) + Mission Number.TFR

Unit Designations:

PH= Phoenix

   	DR= Dark Rider

   	DE= Devil Recon

VM= Vampire Recon

GW= Grey Wolf Recon

   	BK= Black Knights

 	OM= Omega

DC= Devestator Command Group

DS= Devestator Escort

DB= Devestator Bomber

Flight Roster Number:

Due to Devestator's unique pilot numbering system, they will use the following for flight roster number:

LD= Unit Leader

XO= Unit Executive Officer

CO= Chief of Operations

IO= Intelligence Officer

All others will use their number designation expressed as a two digit number.

Examples

DE06100.TFR = Devil Recon 6, Mission 100 Pilot File

DCLD100.TFR= Devestator Leader, Mission 100 Pilot File

The mission number is the three digit number following the ACOMP in the original mission file name when distributed (ie. ACOMP100.TIE is mission number 100).


Missions

Missions can be found in section 21 of the FSFORUM, by using the search for filenames ACOMP*.*  The description of the mission will include a deadline.  In order to be eligible for the next set of awards, pilots must submit their TFR on or before the deadline.  Even if a pilot misses a deadline, they will still want to submit a TFR late, so that they can get the points added to their file and be competitive when the awards are issued again.

When you unzip the file, you will find TIE Fighter missions (file extension .TIE) and text files.  The text files will provide you with some insight on the storyline that relates to the missions.  Occasionally, you will find a README.TXT file.  If it is present, read it, as it will contain important information about installing the missions or changes to competition procedures.

To install the missions, replace missions in battle one in your \TIE\MISSIONS directory.  They will be identified as B1MX*.*, where X is the mission number.  If you receive two missions in the set, then replace the first two missions.


Statistics Format

The following format will be used to determine a pilot's standing within the competition.  All statistics are cumulative for a battleset, but are reset at the start of a new battle to give those pilots who don't do well on one mission a better chance at earning awards later.

Score:	As per TFR File

Missions: 	As per TFR File

Kills:	As per TFR File

Capital Kills:	As per TFR File (CRVs and larger)

Accuracy:	Lasers Hit + (Missiles Hit *25)

     	          	         ------------------------------------------

            	         Lasers Fired + (Missiles Fired *25)


Pilot Awards

Common Awards

Will be awarded to all members that qualify.

Marksmanship Ratings:

• Marksman:  Any pilot with a 65% or greater accuracy rating.

• Sharpshooter:  Any pilot with a 75% or greater accuracy rating.

• Expert:  Any pilot with a 85% or greater accuracy rating.

Elite Pilot:  Awarded to any pilot whose score exceeds the average score for the competition missions.

Battle Medals:  Pilots will be awarded a medal for completion of a six mission competition battleset on time.  Pilots who complete the secondary and bonus awards for battles can expect to receive additional awards and recognition.

Single Awards

Pilots who fail to turn in a mission set before the deadline will not be eligible for single awards.  Pilots should still turn in a TFR file late, so that they are "caught up" and will then be eligible for awards the next time they are awarded.  Pilots may only qualify for the highest award for which they are eligible.  Each unit has identified and set criteria for their own individual awards.

•  The Black Knights

•  Devestator Command Group

•  Devestator Escort

•  Devestator Bomber

At the end of a battleset, a file will be uploaded to Starfighter Command that will provide a mission by mission breakdown of pilot statistics.  This file will be in a Windows Help format with charts and graphs.  It will be titled COMPBX.ZIP, where X is the number of the battle set.
