So.... Is the flight training just for fighters or is there a course for bigger ships?
The flight training is for light / medium fighters, brevity, formation, procedure, tactics, but when you bring a big ship, then escort missions will give the escorts a nice challenge when doing ICC or comm array missions. It changes the course of a training mission.
During the summer pauze we also used to do escort missions. Even I have flown a Starfarer on the ICC missions (for the first time). When I had to land on Olisar to finalize the mission, everybody was waiting in vain for a truly TEST landing.... nothing... I just put the starfarer manual down on the pad without a bump.

As a former grunt, with some claim to a Scottish Castle (not sure how good a claim. LOL) and, in a King Ralph Scenario, in line to the Throne of England, I only have this to add about US military training:

The US has only had 73 years of peace throughout the entire history of the country. We're just good at wars (or bad at ending them).

Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face. Americans have a plan even if they get punched in the face and normally that involves headbutting the enemy's fist.

This very well may be the most patriotic thing I have ever read.


Amen, brother. Nobody wants to fight the crazy guy.

Unless he sees himself in the mirror. Is this why Americans are allowed guns?
Nah, Americans are allowed guns because we are all silently hoping for a Red Dawn situation. Until then, we'll just practice on each other.

Combat Flight Training

Spanish Conquistadors were feared and respected throughout the known world for their combat skills and ability to drink large quantities of wine.

Our very own Spanish TESTie @IcaroSP carries the DNA of his warrior ancestors and passes along his knowledge with Combat Flight Training every Saturday and Sunday at 20:00 UTC.

No matter how much you suck, or how elite you are, there is a place for you in our weekly CFT events.

This is a no pressure, no expectations and not much ridicule!

It's just a bunch of TESTies getting together for some fun!

Interested in joining next week's event?
