TC NEWS

EHCOC Website
11:21 - VA Kyle Katarn [Kyle.Katarn@isdcolossus.com]
inally I managed to get time to create a professional EHCOC Website. It can be found here. The Combat Manual is still the old version. There will be a new one with updated stuff soon. The Manual can be found here. Feel free to eMail me your comments. But be aware, not everything is working yet and the site is not fully finished. You also need at least Internet Explorer 6.0 or Netscape Navigator 7.0 to view the XML Scripts of the site. Please do not include this problem in a bug report!

Sovereign Wargame Begins!
05:58 - FA Priyum Patel [spellfire@btinternet.com]
The new SSSD Sovereign wargame, Operation Outrageous Fortune, begins Sunday, Jan. 19. It pits Team Blue Falcon (Wings I, IV and V) vs. Team Red Dragon (Wings II, III and Omega Squadron) in a war of space superiority, planetary conquest, continental invasion, and assassination and prisoner rescue missions. Sovereign personnel will wage the war on the TIE, XvT, XWA, Jedi Knight II and Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds platforms. The Task Force Leaders are LC Frodo (Blue) and LC Jon Doyle (Red). The gamesmaster is WO/AD Pel.

Relentless Commodore
11:03 - FA Priyum Patel [spellfire@btinternet.com]
The position of Relentless Commodore in the TIE Corps Battlegroups is still open to applications with the following requirements:



Absolute familiarity with Fleet Manuals and the Fleet Standing Orders
No serious AoW convictions, and none within the past 12 months
Command experience at a Wing Commander level or above, for no less than 4 consecutive months. Squadron Commanders will only be considered with 3 excellent references from superior Officers
Familiarity with Single and Multiplayer aspects of X-Wing: Alliance
Email response time of 24-36 hours.
Everything else detailed in the Training Manual
Applicants must possess the drive and motivation to work towards stabilizing the ship, plan future activities and work with fellow Flag Officers in the Battlegroup. The position of Commodore is not to be underestimated. If you have any doubts as to your suitability for the position, then don't waste our time by applying. Applications should be sent to Vice Admiral Krax and Fleet Admiral Priyum with the subject RelCOM. You may include up to 3 references, two of which must be from current or former superiors. Ensure that you have their permission before listing them.


Reporting of Violations
18:44 - FA Brad [bafordham@earthlink.net]
Remember to use the chain of command first when reporting complaints. Almost 2/3 of the time complaints are better handled by your superior officers. They can get them resolved faster since I have a large number of complaints and each of mine needs thorough investigations as I send people to the High Court of Inquisitors if I find them suspect. Also, do not send an entire log file of the channel. Including some of the log before incidents happened helps, but I do not need to see logs of several months before (or after) a violation.

Skipping missions!
07:35 - AD Marcin Szydlowski [pbmike@go2.pl]
Recently, I've noticed that many pilots are skipping missions and submit battles to their CMDR. Also, CMDR process BSFs even when plt file shows missions has been skipped. Hear now, loud and clear: This is not allowed.
Skipping missions is not considered cheating however, battles will be removed from your profile.
All battles are playable. If you have problem with patches, contact SCO Ender mBind.

XWA testers closed
14:00 - AD Marcin Szydlowski [pbmike@go2.pl]
I've received so many XWA applications that I don't have spots anymore. Do not send applications for XWA testers. But you can still join TIE or XvT/BoP team. But remember about few basic rules:

Always include your PIN
When applying for TIE, cc TCC:TIE, XvT, TCC:XvT. Also ALWAYS cc my Command Attache.
You must have current mission design course passed (for TIE it's TM, for XvT it's XTM/1 and for XWA it's XAM). Do not apply if you don't have this course passed.
I don't tolerate slacking in my office. It's not squadron. You fail to test, you are out.

COO on Emergeny Leave
08:14 - VA Kyle Katarn [Kyle.Katarn@isdcolossus.com]
Due of catastrophic snow problems in Lower Austria, my Firefighter Unit is going to be reassigned to another Unit for 1 or 2 weeks to help them with their problems. I am able to join the Internet in that time, however I will not be able to do any COO work. For questions, please address my COOA, Autoris Maximus, LoC's are on hold till Sunday 20th! On Saturday, I am able to award LoC's and also to write a report.

TIE Corps Banner Design Competition
07:49 - FA Priyum Patel [spellfire@btinternet.com]
As many of you may have noticed, the TIE Corps' current front page banner, found here, shows the wrong page address. To correct this I've decided to hold a small competition to design a new banner, with the correct URL. This competition is open to all TC members, including Reservists. The size of the banner should be similar to the current one, but that's not particularly important. All submissions should be sent to spellfire@btinternet.com zipped and with the email subject "TC Banner".

You have until 26th January to get your submissions in. The designer of the selected banner will receive the Iron Star - Gold Ribbon, with further awards going to other submissions.
