idk if you're planning on it/have already but I really think you should send that trials data bungie's way. i think it's important that, even though they have that data, they know people outside of their company are also looking at this matchmaking and going "uhhh yeah this doesn't work for anyone who isn't a top tier pvp player" (also great work I really enjoyed reading it)

Bungies already has this data to a much larger degree and I know they’ve looked at it because they have talked about it in some TWABs. I’ve been working to get all 100 million trials matches and make a much more encompassing post regarding matchmaking, unfortunately I can’t get what Charlemagne has stored (their code is closed-source and it’s dozens of TB of PGCRs of trials data that they understandably won’t give me) and I do not own an AWS server that’s more or less purpose-built for this application, and at my current speed it would take over 4 straight months of runtime to pull every PGCR. Once I get my hands on a lot more data I’m planning on sending something off to bungie but I can’t imagine it’ll be any more useful than what they already track.

Project I mentioned earlier, the 1/3 scale Black Brant 5 sounding rocket. Standing at 7’ 5” tall, it has a 5.6” diameter body tube and weighs 3 kg unloaded. The avionics bay is capable of holding 3 perfectflite stratologger 100s, a raspberry pi 3b+, a buzzer, 3 9v batteries, and a phone battery for powering the pi with room to spare. It has a 60” diameter main chute and sims to 1k ft on an I255.

A closer look at the Joe's Bottom sitting on the prep table post-recovery

I don't have the date for this photo, but I believe it was a December launch. This is the original base section of the Modified Onyx after severe failure at ejection. This is actually from the second launch of the base, the first also failing similarly, though less spectacularly. The gaff tape I used to try and keep the ring in place, while ultimately failing here, was still able to be removed and used elsewhere lmao

Photo of my L1 certification rocket from my February launch (Lovingly dubbed the "Joe's bottom" after the inscription on the side of the body tube), I didn't actually get any photos in-flight because I was watching nervously lol. Came down safely, albeit with a cracked epoxy fillet.

Photo of a modified LOC Onyx I launched back in February, if memory serves this is the first flight that didn't rip itself apart at ejection (doubling the shock cord length and a stronger eye bolt helped) and flew on a G118 to ~1560 ft AGL
