<Salute>

Welcome to my last report in 2016!

We are on the final lap this year, in some hours it is time to welcome 2017. My last 3 days were full of wrapping up the paperwork piles from the last 3 months of missing evals, MoCs and final competition scores including their awards. But finally I can say my desk is now clean awaiting new challenges in 2017.

Speaking of 2017; after evaluating our current competitions the TCCS came to the conlusion, that we've thrown out too many Iron Stars for Star Conflict only. To prevent the same phenomenon we adjusted the award rules for TCoR and TCAI. What exactly was changed is in the competitions description. I also changed the score balance for Beacon Hunt and Domination mode. Details are as usual in the competition description.

2017 will deliver us many changes. Both Star Destroyers will have new Commodores. Squadrons will have new Comanders. I wish all Officers in Command all the strength, assertiveness and creativity for their tasks in 2017. And the most important for all: Have fun and enjoy your time in our small club.

I wish everybody a happy and successful new year!

For the Empire!

SOO Competitions

TIE Corps on Recon - 2017:

Competition Medals:

- IS-SW/IS-BW for the 1st and 2nd based on combined score of all 5 game modes (weekly)
- IS-GW/IS-SW/IS-BW for 1st, 2nd and 3rd based on the points earned (points from all match types added together for the monthly part!)
- IS-PW/IS-GW/IS-SW for 1st, 2nd and 3rd based on the points earned over the entire year 2017
- IS-GW/SW/BW for 1st, 2nd and 3rd for every game mode based on the points earned over the entire year 2017

Description:

This competition is split up into multiple parts, all based on Star Conflict Multiplayer matches. The different weekly parts are split up based on the different match types Star Conflict is offering.

Here the goals for the 5 different game modes used in this competition:

- Domination/Beacon Hunt (counted seperately): 3 points per captured beacon, 1 point per kill, 0,5 points per assist
- PvE/Team Battle (counted seperately): most kills (Assists count as half kills)
- Combat Recon: most kills (Assists count as half kills), killing the Captain gives 2 extra points, surviving as Captain 3 extra points. There are "only" 2 points for the Captain kill, because there is 1 additional point for the kill itself in the calculation.
- Suvival, Capture the Beacon and Detonation are not counted for TCoR
.
For the monthly part of the TCoR competition a points system will be used. For each victory in one of the weekly sections of this competition the winner will gain 4 points, second gains 3, third gains 2 and every other participant gains 1 point. Even if only 1,2 or 3 TIE pilots participate in one game mode, the 1st place still gains 4 points, 2nd 3 points and so on.Those points will be added up until the last weekly SOO report of a month and then the monthly winner will be announced based on those points. The points are also used for the calculation of the overall winner of the year.

Every participating pilot that isn't eligible for a medal reward from this competition earns himself an TCoR-activity point for each match type he participated in per week.

10 activity points = IS-BW
50 activity points = IS-SW

After gaining 50 activity points, the pilot's points will be reset to 0.

To make a match count for this competition screenshots of the matches need to be send to the TIE Corps Strategic Operations Officer before the weekly report is released on Sunday. Only one submission per week, match type and pilot will count, even though you might send multiple screenshots to the SOO in case you manage to gain more kills/captures during a week than you've had in the first submission. Only screenshots for victories are allowed!

Everyone that wants to participate in this competition needs to submit screenshots himself. If in one match 2 TIE Corps pilots participated and want a screenshot for that match to count for this competition they BOTH need to send their screenshots to the SOO!

Tie breakers:

- most Beacons in Domination and Beacon Hunt; in case of the same amount of beacons, most pure kills will be the tie breaker
- Captain kill or survived as Captain in Combat Recon
- pure kills for PvE, Team Battle

Note that PvP matches against bot-only teams are not eligible.
