Send reports with your pilot file attached to:

pbfreports@yahoogroups.com

You must also cc your Squadron CO or the Squadron egroup to assure that there are no "lost" reports. Failure to cc your report will result in a "no report" in cases of "lost" reports.

The Rules of Engagement for flying PBF missions are:

  1. You may run this mission as many times as you like but you MUST get the MISSION COMPLETE message and have a valid *.plt file in order to be eligible for the PBF Medal of Victory. FAILED MISSIONS count towards Squadron & Wing totals & activity. In addition, any score not accompanied by a pilot file for verification will NOT be counted by the PBF Command Staff. The PBF Command Staff may require additional verification when deemed necessary.
  2. Run the mission as "defect.xwi" (this will place it as X-Wing TOD 1 Mission 1) so that your stats will be recorded in your *.plt file.
  3. Make a new pilot file each time you run the mission. If you fail the mission and wish to run it again make sure to use a new pilot file instead of re-running it with the same pilot. Any pilot file found to be "unclean" will result in the score NOT being counted by the PBF Command Staff and will be reported as "0".
  4. Destroying "Friendly" craft to pad ones stats is strictly prohibited. *.plt files containing "Rebel" craft kills will be considered invalid and will be reported as "0".
  5. You should also include a written report with your score, laser/ion shots and hits, missile shots and hits and kill totals in the email, as well as your name and Squadron.
  6. Pilot files will be manually calculated using the official Patriot Battle Fleet scoring chart for X-Wing.
  7. No individual scores will be changed after the deadline! If a report is submitted that is never received at the report address given above, it will not be added after the deadline. Neither will the PBF CO accept a late pilot file. The only thing that can be changed after the deadline are errors made by the Command Staff.
  8. There is a Fleet Wide competition based on each PBF Tour. Every pilot submitting a valid completed mission report will receive 3 merit points. A failed mission report is worth 2 merit points. The pilot with the best overall score for the mission will be awarded the PBF Medal of Victory, along with receiving 3 points in the PBF Merit System. In addition, participating members from the Squadron with the best overall combined score will receive 3 merit points in as well as the "Top Squadron" bragging rights. Also, the reporting members of the Squadron in 2nd place will receive 2 merit points while the reporting members of the 3rd place Squadron will receive 1 merit point. The Pilot who receives the Mission Report Medal for the best Narrative will receive 3 merit points.

    *Note* In the event that the Top Pilot for the mission also happens to be in the Top Squadron he may only receive the 3 Merit Points for Top Gun. Same thing applies if the Top Gun is from the 2nd or 3rd place Squadron.

  1. Mail problems including undelivered mail and corrupted *.plt/*.tfr files are not the responsibility of the PBF command staff. If your *.plt/*.tfr file becomes corrupted and you do not include a written accounting, then your score will be counted as "0".
  2. If a pilot retires from the PBF at any time during the course of an active mission after having submitted a report, his report will no longer count for his former squadron. He will still receive credit for running the mission, but will be listed as "Independent". If a former member of the PBF submits a mission report without "rejoining" a Squadron, the score will be listed as "Independent".
  3. If a pilot transfers from one PBF squadron to another (such as attaining a squadron CO position) during the course of an active mission after having submitted a report, his report will now count towards the newfound squadron.
  4. Flying/Incentives

    A) For every squad that reports at 75% (70% if fewer than 12 Pilots), the PBF Medal of Activity will be awarded to the squad for that mission.

    B) For every squad that reports at 100%, the same mission ribbon will be offered, as well as an additional merit point for the mission.

    C) When the Fleet reports at 75% or higher, each participating pilot will recieve 1 Bonus Merit Point for that mission.
