Admiral Frodo March Reporting for the Emperor's Hammer Tactical Office on 03/06/05, report #175.
Tactical Officer's Opening Statement
Hello everybody and welcome to the 175th TAC report. I'm a little late due to being sick and out of town for a little while. Nyquil to the rescue! At any rate, this week I wasn't able to work as hard as I could, I did manage to do my regular duties: high scores, bsfs and such. However, Master delighted me with quite a few XWA bugs to delete! Hurray.
Its time for the last month of my mission creation incentive competition...last month we only got a winner in the free mission division, congradulations to VA Gidda. I expect some very good participation for March.
We are no longer in the need of TCS (Beta testers). However, TCT and TMD are welcomed to apply.
Tactical Announcements
-Go Check out XvT TC 108, released this week!
-Operation Ant Eater continues! XWA/BoP bugs are getting fewer and fewer.
-I need TMDs and TCTs for ALL PLATFORMS! Send applications to myself and Master.
-SWGB progress continues, we are in extremely dire need of corretors for this platform, anybody with extensive SWGB creation knowledge should contact me at once.
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, March has begun, we'll see what March brings in!.
Tactical Tasks
-More missions and faster turnaround in relation to testing: My quest for more missions is still under way. My comp shall end soon, so that I may get into the next ideas to get more missions and battles.
-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: I have been approached about an SWGB creation IWATS course, I'll keep you posted. Talks have begun with the TO.
-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. March has begun, an IS-PR is up for grabs!!

Frothy's Corner
Custom Mission submissions are defenetly waay up, I haven't seen numbers these big in a while, and its not because we're not releasing stuff, we released quite a bit during February as you can see with the constant spamming of TC news.
Now give me a good show for March!
Good luck!
