IN DEPTH

Ideally I would've talked about the new WARD being chosen last week, but I didn't and so here we are! The Warden of the Imperial Archives serves as our point man on the non-flying interests of the TIE Corps, and he's already taken it upon himself to launch two fiction competitions. More details about those in the next section. In addition, he's working on the rules for a long-term campaign that will involve SP, MP, and another aspect that'll be unique to this event. If you've been waiting for something different, I think this'll be it!

The position of Kappa KMDR has been vacant since my appointment to COM and I'd like to see someone take the lead role in Kappa soon. If you've got the guts to guzzle Kappa Hype by the gallon to take on the assignment, please let me know!

After staring at screens and HTML code for a while, the newest edition of our newsletter, The Commodore, has been published! You can find it right here and the full list of published newsletters here. It's also not too early to start thinking about the next edition, which should arrive in mid-November and could use all the submissions it can get.

Our newest arrival from the Daedalus, SL Rando, very quickly earned his first promotion by earning his first LoCs and an LoS. Congratulations to LT Rando! His next challenge will be to sign up on the EH database to take IWATS Core, assuming he's not too busy winning MP matches.

After about a month away, CM Bodhan Grayson sent out a signal so that we could pick him up and bring him back. He's resumed his post as Kappa 1-3. Welcome back!

Following our first batch of game testing in the search for a new game to support, only World of Warplanes made the cut and will be put to a vote when a TCCOM has a chance to put that together. Personally, I like the idea of having another game to play for the Corps, but I definitely understand the argument that it's too far outside our wheelhouse. Unfortunately, there aren't a lot of games coming out that fall into the niche space flight sim category, and sometimes the ones we do get aren't top-notch (Battlefront, Elite: Dangerous). Quite a pickledyoda we find ourselves in, isn't it?
