This section will, in future, focus on competitions running primarily for Theta pilots as well as the Wing or TC, but it is always advisable to look at the Competitions Center and Combat Center for full details on all competitions. Two Theta competitions are now pending approval, with a focus on flight and fiction, with the latter only eligible if a pilot has taken part in the linked flight competition. We'll see how these go!

• Thetan Aces
  Every squadron report will include a randomly picked Free mission for TIE, XvT and XWA. Every member of Theta has 10 days from announcement to fly these missions. Highest score in each platform will earn an IS-BW - if one pilot sweeps all 3 highest scores, they will earn 2 IS-BWs and the 3rd will be upgraded to an IS-SW.
  
  This weeks missions are: XWA Free-73 & TIE Free-138 & XvT Free-192
  
  
•   After Action Reports
  Any participant in Thetan Aces is eligible for this competition - they are to provide an after action report as a fiction or narrative of one of the missions flown by them, of no more than 400 words. All contributors will have the same 10 day period from announcement of the Thetan Aces mission to submit. Best report will earn an IS-BR and inclusion in the next Thetan WSR.
  
                  
• TIE Corps on Patrol
  For 2018, TCoP is moving to every other week. VA Pete Mitchell is taking the TCoP helm this year, so please note that BSF emails/pilot files will be due by 5 pm Pacific/8 pm Eastern/1 am London one every other Monday starting January 15.
  
                 
• TIE Corps Pilot League
  Like TCoP, the Pilot League is a single-player comp taking place every other week. The difference here is that pilots have a rolling handicap. Each round, the pilot with the highest handicap score (expressed as a percentage of the high score) in each platform will earn 4 points. The next highest score will earn 3, the next highest 2, and all other submissions will earn 1. If the winning pilot in a platform also beat the high score (without the handicap added), that pilot will earn 5 points for that platform. There are more details about the handicap calculations on the competitions page, but needless to say, I'm very excited about this one!
  
                 
• TIE Corps on Recon
  Submit a screenshot each week from one of Star Conflict's multiplayer game modes (Domination, Beacon Hunt, PvE, Team Battle, and Combat Recon). Iron Stars are awarded weekly and monthly based on unique criteria for each game mode.

               
• TIE Corps vs AI
  Submit a screenshot each week from Star Conflict's Player vs. AI modes. Iron Stars are awarded weekly and monthly based on unique criteria for each game mode.


• Wing II Commander's Escort Flight / Warrior Commodore's Escort Flight
  These are MP and SP versions of the same comp: fly enough missions to rank among the top four on the Warrior for the month to earn points. Iron Stars are awarded to the top four every month with a quarterly bonus. For the Commodore's Escort Flight, LoCs and LoSs are summed for the total.
