Admiral Frodo March Reporting for the Emperor's Hammer Tactical Office on 02/18/05, report #173.
Tactical Officer's Opening Statement
Yet again I've had BSF problems all week for me to fix. I will be writing up a BSFing tutorial for Flags and Commanders, many of you have multiple problems with this and I think its about time we wrote down in EVERY detail EVERY possible mistake you can make and every possible solutions and what to do in order to prevent them. Once it is complete I will naturally assault you all with the url. Expect it soon.
We've had some more progress with XWA bugs, Master is hard at work on them. Also, TAC DB 2.0 is getting better and better.
Oh, and the Battle Lackey has joined the TAC Staff! Along with Commander Brukhar.
Tactical Announcements
-Go Check out XvT Free 176! Released this week.
-Operation Ant Eater continues! XWA/BoP bugs are getting fewer and fewer. The site was also updated.
-I need TMDs, TCTs and TCS for ALL PLATFORMS! Send applications to myself and Master, see TC news for more details.
-Welcome CM Brukhar to the TAC Staff!
Tactical Projects
-Operation Ant Eater:This is a lot like Project phoenix, the TAC staff will set out to destroy all bugs in the Mission Compendium! We now have some progress, more details here.
-Frodo's Quest for More Missions:This is my own personal quest to get mission creators to create more, We have gotten quite a few submittions. I got some February submissions! Hurrah!
Tactical Tasks
-More missions and faster turnaround in relation to testing: My quest for more missions is still under way. Still getting used to the new TAC DB, although things are looking up :)
-More support relating to new platforms (Jedi outcast academy, SWGB): We have a few SWGB battles in progress, anybody interested in JA, or JO or SWGB can contact myself right away. Support is important and we need some competent staff for these new platforms. Anybody interested in a Mission Creation course for these platforms can contact me immediately and I'll make sure you get all the support you need to get me my support.
-Coordinating with training office to set up new training resources for new platforms: Still no TO, feel free to check the TAC Network for some training ressources, IWATS courses are also available, the news post had all of the links on it.
-Restart Project Pheonix and fix any bugs in the mission compendium: Operation "ant-eater" is under way!
-Reform the TAC staff from a corps of testers to mission creators: Only three people are actually on the list to become TMDs. I am Accepting applications for TMD. I also removed TCCs which is sort of a reform.
Competitions
-Mission Creation Incentive: The pilot who submits the most battles to the TAC office in the month of January will be awarded an IS-PR, an IS-GR for second place and the same goes for February and March. You must submit at least 3 battles, and the same goes with missions, except the award for top missions is IS-GR and you must build at least 5. February has just begun, gooo!

Frothy's Corner
We now have 3,450 missions on the compendium! My CA and I will work as hard as we can next week on Bugs and emptying TAC DB 1, its annoying switching back and forth between the two. Also, build more battles! The mission creation incentive is coming to an end soon...Only 12 days remain in February and then theres March, after that the comp is over and the unique chance to get the PR will be gone, at least for a while. So gooo build!!!!!!! 3 battles or 5 frees is all you need!
In service of the Battle Lackey,
