Opening Remarks
Yet another late report and this one will be quick since my next report is due in only a few days. So here we go..
IMPORTANT FLEET ANNOUNCEMENT!!!
As per TCCOM's direct order all TC members must follow the chain of command when they have Questions, issues, comments and/or complaints about any active comps or any TC procedures.
No Pilot FM/FL or CMDR should ever use the open email group to voice complaints. Any pilot not following the chain of command can be punished as the Admiralty deems fit.
JUSt in case you don't know the Chain of Command (CoC) it goes Flight Member - Flight Leader - Squad CMDR and then HA Frodo. DO NOT email the TCCOM directly without first going through the CoC.
HA Frodo, your Flight Leaders and I are here to help you please let us know if you have any questions and we will help you out.

Active Competitions -
Raise the Flag 2014 :Single Player Bonus Competition
http://tc.emperorshammer.org/competitions.php?id=2604
The last Bonus competition of Raise the Flag will involve Single Player battles.
One battle from each platform will be assigned. The four squadrons who achieve the highest normalized combined scores* will award themselves and their ships 200, 150, 100 and 50 points respectively.
The number of missions flown for this competition will also count for Raise the Flag global scores for each pilot, as well as any high scores, if achieved, regardless if the pilot has already flown that particular battle this month. Every participant will earn their squadrons and ships 5 points per platform. Competition runs from June 22nd to 30th. TIE scores are laserless.
Assigned battles:
TIE-TC 161
XvT-TC 48
BoP-TC 14
XWA-TC 48
* Normalized Combined Scores: The scores will be normalized considering percentages of the TCCOM’s scores (or the highest ranking TC officer who completes all 4 assignments), which will warrant 100 points in each platform. So, if a pilot’s score in a battle is 120% of the TCCOM’s score, he will be awarded 120 points for that battle, and so on. Note that these scores are only for SP Bonus Competition results, and not for the overall RtF pilot’s score.
Raise the Flag - Main Comp
http://tc.emperorshammer.org/competitions.php?id=2593
* Raise the Flag 2014!
This competition will determine the Flagship of the TIE Corps for the next 12 months, the TCCOM’s Own Escort Squadron and TCCOM’s Wingman for the next 6 months. The Flagship/Escort Squadron/Wingman will be the ones who manage to acquire the highest number of points in the competition throughout the month of June. Any forms of activity presented by the pilots will grant points to their ships. Points to each activity are listed as follows:
- 1 point to each Single Player mission flown from the TC Battle Center (each battle/free mission in the compendium can be flown only once throughout the month for credit in the competition, not considering eventual battles selected for the bonus comp). Note that battles already flown in previous months of this year are eligible to be re-flown for points in Raise the Flag, however, they will not count towards Ace of the TC awards.
- 1 point for every LoC awarded in any COO-approved platform
- 5 points for every mission high score
- 5 points x # of missions in the battle for every battle high score
- 1-10 points will be awarded to each fiction submitted, judged by the TCCOM and SOO (TCCOM and SOO submissions will be graded by the COO and ship COMs)
- 1-5 points will be awarded to each graphic submitted, judged by the TCCOM and SOO (TCCOM and SOO submissions will be graded by the COO and ship COMs)
- 10 points for a DFC (in events taking place in June)
Bonus points:
Bonus points will be awarded only to the pilot’s ship and squadron, but regular points coming from Bonus comp activities will be awarded to the pilots regularly.
- From June 1st to 8th, a fiction competition – 100, 75, 50, 25
- From June 8th to 15th, a graphics competition – 100, 75, 50, 25
- From June 15th to 22nd, a Multiplayer competition – 200, 150, 100, 50
- From June 22nd to 30th, a Single Player competition – 200, 150, 100, 50
All other participants in the bonus competitions will have their squadrons and ships awarded 5 points for participation. Bonus competitions details will be released separately.
There will be no:
- Points for Squadron Citations earned: all squadrons and ships must get into the competition with equal conditions, and citations might be easier for one squadron to get than for another;
- FCHG/CR Rank gains points: these rank gains can be more easily achieved by one pilot than by the other, and pilots must enter the competition with equal conditions to award points
- Points for IWATS/IU Courses taken, because of the current EH system not allowing the retaking of tests.
- Points for Mission Creation: because Mission creation takes too long to be placed in a month long competition, and it would be difficult to see results.
Medals to be awarded:
- Pilot’s overall scores: IS-PW, IS-GW, IS-SW, IS-BW, if the majority of the pilot’s points came from flying, OR IS-PR, IS-GR, IS-SR, IS-BR if the majority of the pilot’s points came from non-flying activities
- Pilot’s SP points – independent from Ace of the TC competition, since the point system is different: IS-GW, IS-SW, IS-BW
- Pilot’s MP points – independent from MP Ace of the TC competition, because of the award of points for losses during the Bonus MP competition: IS-GW, IS-SW, IS-BW
- Pilot’s Fiction points: IS-GR, IS-SR, IS-BR
- Pilot’s Graphics: IS-GR, IS-SR, IS-BR
- Ship with best participation rate: IS-GR, IS-SR, IS-BR to ship flags
- Squadron with best participation rate: IS-GR, IS-SR, IS-BR to Squadron Commanders
- Fiction bonus comp: IS-GR, IS-SR, IS-BR
- Graphics bonus comp: IS-GR, IS-SR, IS-BR
- MP bonus comp: IS-GW, IS-SW, IS-BW
- SP bonus comp: IS-GW, IS-SW, IS-BW for overall three first places in the comp. Plus additional medals for winners in each platform
All disputes will be settled by the TC Admiralty.
Command Staff officers will be allowed to participate in the competition and its events.
Bonus competitions details will be placed here separately. However, stay tuned at the TC news page for announcements regarding the bonus competitions!!
