Greetings,

Another hectic week in the Tactical Office...

1/ Cheating: after making some investigation on several suspect files for TC78
and reviewing quite all the pilot files for CR#13 of the Squadron League (TC78
was used), I discovered several cases of cheating, from pilot editing to Imp cap
ships killing or other nasty things. I am rather busy collecting evidences on
these several cases for the SO and HCI, and it costs a precious time which could
have been used for the release of new battles. Cheating on any form is NOT
tolerated and will be deal very severely. Here is an excerpt of the 1-Sept
announcement made by High Inquisitor High Admiral Paladin:

Those convicted of cheating shall, upon the first offense, be stripped
of rank, medals, and position and be reduced to the rank and position
of cadet. All their scores will be erased from the battle board, formerly
awarded battle medals will be revoked, and such members will be banned
from ever submitting a battle board score or holding a position in the
FCHG again. Those convicted of a second offense will be banned from the
fleet for life.

Cheating is not worth it, it only dishonors you, your squadron, the whole fleet.
I am quite skilled in catching fraudulous files, do not ever try....I will do my
best to make sure no edited file goes through me, should I spend my nights on
your pilot files. Tie Corps cheating policy are available here:
http://www.tiecorps.org/tac-man/cheating.asp .

2/ Audits: I remind you you have a week to reply to an audit... otherwise your
BSF will be rejected.

3/ I selected my new Command Attachés... welcome to Vice Admiral Wlodek and Vice
Admiral StarLion ! Vice Admiral Wlodek, former Psi squadron CMDR, has been in
the past a key element of Project Phoenix, has created several patches like the
ISD TIE95 patch, and has already helped me correcting some bugs. He will help me
with bug correction, and will take care of the bug reports done on the EH Battle
Center. Vice Admiral StarLion, former COO, has been TACA for the past year, and
has been a very reliable element of the TAC Office. He will be my second Command
attaché, and will take care of BSFs for COs/CAs. He will also assist me in
administrative task, like the future update of the Tactical Manual.

4/ New mission standards: the Tactical Manual will be updated soon with stricter
mission standards; debriefings/hints and animated maps should not be any longer
an option for custom missions.

5/ Beta Team: I should need some more TCT and TCS any time soon... I will post
an anouncement in time on the TC Domain. A XvT Tactical coordinator (TCC/XvT) is
currently seeked, please check the Tactical Manual for a description of the
position, and send your applications to me and TCHC/RA Samuel Shadd III at
EH_Striker@mail.com and weasel74@intelos.net.

6/ A large number of missions/battles are currently in the hands of the Beta
Team; I apologize in advance for the delay it will take for your mission/battle
to be approved, this huge backlog will be dealt with as soon as possible once
the Beta Team is back on feet.
