Admiral Frodo March Reporting for the Emperor's Hammer Tactical Office on 02/25/05, report #174.
Tactical Officer's Opening Statement
Great news everybody! This week I'm not going to complain because I had nooooo new notable BSF problems. Which is either the result of, A. Not flying or, B. my tutorial! I'm just going to assume it was my tutorial ;)
Other than that, Master went crazy on XWA bugs and XWA battles in the TAC database! Proof? We released two XWA Battles and you can look forward to flying XWA TC 10 and 19 bug free! Wooo! Goooo Master! :D
I myself corrected 4 BoP bugs this week end, only bugs that are left are for BoP TC 9 and 19, but they shant last long. In case you're wondering, we have corrected 29 bugs since we started correcting bugs...which is probably about a month ago. I have alot of time off school during March, so I will be going crazy on them as well! Hurray!
You all may check out my new BSF tutorial at http://ineedbsfhelp.minos.net/.
Welcome aboard our new TCS: CM Ayudanter de la Clars, LC Ric Taldrya and CPT Tolbr! There are still a few spots open for new testers! Apply!
My "Mission Creation Incentive" competition doesn't seem to be doing good for February...IF YOU HAVE BATTLES TO SUBMIT, DO IT NOW!!!

-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. medals.
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: I have been approached about an SWGB creation IWATS course, I'll keep you posted. I will annoy Stuart about this very soon.
-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 is coming to an end! gooo!

Frothy's Corner
The TAC office, 3460 missions later is doing excellent. Ant Eater is going fine, battle releases are going acording to schedual and with great haste. As well as TAC DB 2.0, which seems to only get better for us. TAC DB 1.0 is almost closed, I look forward to the day where I can transfer all our beta points over. Testers, correctors and Master remember, pilot files for battle releases go straight to me now, and High Scores aren't given.
For the Frothy in you!
