I'd like to join, i think i met the minimum qualification as of 5 mins ago.
Storm squadron was definatly, intresting. Id have to agree with the common sentiment that it IS the hardest one. I definatly liked the storyline better then Inquisition or Black Epslion, it seemed to fit better into the overall picture of the game. But make no mistake about it, storm is mission intensive. Infact i think its the only one that spilts teir 2 between two different trainers, just to better facilitate its mission/backstory. From teir 2 your doing long missions, teir 3 is still teir 3, but teir 4 (unlike most other pilot squadrons) doesnt get any easier, infact it gets a bit harder.
Id have to say that the third teir 4 mission is the hardest. TWO long escort missions back to back, followed by a rebel assault of gunboats, nova's and full fighter compliment. As mission difficulty goes, im not sure which is harder, this one, or RSF's teir 4 exit mission. Both of em are up there. Although i did manage to pull it off, i was geniulnly worried that i might have to be redoing this mission again. A buddy of mine was doing it awhile back and he was so upset when he failed it, i dont think he logged in to play for a week. As long as those first two escort missions are, i dont blame him.
As the saying goes, "Friends don't let friends to Storm squadron as their first pilot mastery". If this was my first, i'd have ran away from my computer screaming in agony!

lol It was my first squadron in Beta, then they reset the server and I did it again. Then of course I did it when it went live. I must like pain
It's still the only squadron I've ever done. I'm considering doing one of the other Imperial ones when I get some time, but its hard to give up master pilot and deepspace.

Grind Jedi, get an alt character, then grind that to Ace and you'll always have that to go kill stuff with and vent out frustrations lol

Gratz, took you long enough

I took my time, it wasnt exactly something i *planned* to do, it just sort of happened when i found i had the patience for more escort missions.
