TAC Report # 73 (2003-01-24)

This report was submitted by AD Marcin Szydlowski


Skipping Missions!!!
     Remember people. Using unlimited waves IS allowed. Skipping missions IS NOT. So do not do it. Also remember that in order to skip mission in TIE, you have to edit pilot file what is violation of acticle 407. I am pretty sure you are aware of consequences. So do not skip.
     Also to clarify for some people. Using unlimited waves in XvT is allowed! So stop talking about it.

IRC
     Our XO started new rule and I'm going to do as he does. Hear that loud and clear. I'm not going to do any EH business via IRC. If you have something for me, use email. I use IRC to chat and discuss. You can always come to me and ask question, but do not ask me to do this and that cause I will ignore it.
     Email is the best way. Every email I receive is added to my queue and usually processed withing 2 days. The same with high score. They are not waiting in queue longer than 3 days so stop asking about them.

MS Citations Storm
     I've created advanced Excel application to help CMDRs to get citations. You can see results looking at Diamondback Squadron. Right now I've FWed ver1.31 to ASF BGCOM to allow extensive testing. I'm also working on major update.
     Let me tell you how this works. The only thing you have to do is to update querries or my application, simply adding PINs of your pilots or link to blank page (www.ehnet.stnet.pl/blank.htm). And then my application downloads all data from TC database and calculated everything. Battles are splited by types, so you have different sheet for TIE-TC, TIE-DB, etc. It's 1.5MB big, but when you zip it, it's 150kB.
     It also allows you to perform simulations. For example: "How many citations would be in squadron with best TC pilots". I've bought Excel book today, and I'm going to make some advanced features like dialog boxes, some color indicating how many pilots needs to fly battle in order to get citation, auto adding new battles and types, etc. Also, I'm going to create major application CMDR+, including my citations application, ATR makes, and MSE generator. But don't expect it anytime soon.

TAC hits 23
     Yes. In 4 days I will be 23 :P So rejoice. No I don't plan any celebration party or MP competition.

Xunami Wings Ended!!!
     Yes! We have winners! Congrats to Tissaya & Frey who won XvT division and RogueWing who won XWA. Your battles are/will be available for download soon.


Tactical Office Person of the Week:
     This week I've selected Zexiphir Van Taelyan, as Person of the Week. As recommended by TCC:XWA/CPT Hunter:
D'oh! Forgot to include this part in my report. Sorry, Mike. I recommend TCS Zexiphir Van Taelyan as Tactical Office Person of the Week. He has completed his assignments very quickly and timely. His reports are informative and detailed and he has completed 3 assignments very quickly. I think he'll be a great addition to the system. For these reasons, I think he should be PotW.
     Great job Tealyan. You have earned 1 point. I remind all TCCs to send their PotW recomendations. So current standings look as follows:
Frodo - 1
Tealyan - 1

Cheating cases:
     There were no new cases this week, however I'm observing few pilots. I will probably have first results soon. Remember, if you cheat better mail me and confess before I will find you. Noone will escape. And one note to people who use Hold Steady in TIE ( making enemy ships all hold steady ). Yes, I know how to catch it, if you think it's impossible to catch, expect mail from me soon.

Rate the battles you fly:
     When you complete mission/battle rate it. Soon there will be competition for those who write good reviews. Also, I won't tolerate any personal wars. If you don't like the creator, don't even try to lower rating of every good battle. That will only result in your HCI case. So be good :)

Final word:
     My office is always open, and you can find me on IRC. Don't hesitate to ask or mail me. Visit Tactical channel #tac and ask question there. Cya next week
