Welcome to this 67th Tactical Office Report. It's been one week since I've been appointed as new Tactical Officer. I can say that my office is working without any delays, and I'm going to improve cooperation between multiple EH Subgroups on TAC level.
     Few words about my plans. Well, my main plan is to improve this office as much as I can. Tac Office is working very good but I know there is always something to improve. I want to increase number of battles in compendium, but also some big changes like Multi-Player mission compendium, new types of battles and new platforms
     I plan major cooperation with TO, SCO and COO offices and most of Subgroup Commanders.
     I only ask people to give me some time. I am TAC for one week, judge me when I will be TAC for year or so. Then I will be able to show you real effort, not now. I didn't have enough time, to do something great.

1. "Xunami Wings" - Tactical Office Competition No.1
     As you probably know Tactical Office started new mission creation competition. Our goals is to create plotlines for CAB battles, and use the later to create CABs. All details can be found on Mission Creation MB, here. Good luck to all. And side note. Remember, best form of plotline is fiction. I don't need list of all ships and squadrons you will use. I want storyline addition to you battles.

3. Project "Exterminator" update:
     XvT-TC battles has all been corrected, and TIE-TC correction is proceeding well. This week I am going to correct rest of XvT and probably all BoP battles. My staff will try to deal with TIE and XWA corrections. I expect EH Mission Compendium to be clean on New Year, but we will see about that.
On side note, I have to say that I am very pleased with increasing quality of all submissions. I guess EH members know much more about mission creation than they used to. That's good thing.

4. TIE testers sought:
     Tactical Office needs additional testers. Applications to TCC:TIE Mark Schueler and me. Details can be found Mission Creation Message Board. Good awards for hard working people.

5. Pending High Scores:
     Our XO is working on mailer and it seems it's working now. I have approved some of high scores, others are still waiting. Don't worry. You won't have to wait for weeks, I will do them all soon.
     Also one word about cheating. Two days ago I had to sent one person to HCI and case will start soon. Remember people. Editing mission is forbidden. Killing you own ships too. Do not do it. I have one word to all those who cheat: mail me and confess. We will try to treat you better, but remember. You will have to face trial, but at least you will save your honor.
     I am now working on new methods of catching cheaters, and I will soon present it too HCI guys, SO and my bosses. You can be sure that noone will escape us. Remember, we are not sending innocent people to trial, and I always mail suspect first. We don't start case until we are 100% sure suspect is guilty.
     DO NOT CHEAT! Think about everything you can loose. Your honor, respect of your buddies and superiors. And what you can earn? One more high score? One more medal?
     Every time you are not sure if something you do is cheating or now, refer to Tactical Manual or email me. I will explain everything to you. My office is always open. ;)

6. Incoming Projects:
     At the moment we are trying to clear Mission Compendium (Exterminator). Then we will work on removing on rather big project which I can describe as "Database of Tutorials". Also, my CA (which I hope will be approved soon) will be working on classified project related to High Scores checking. Current TCC:TIE, will take over everything related to beta testing.
     Those are my plans for nearest future. Next in line is upgrading Tactical Manual to version 3.0 and update of Tac related course.

7. XvT Mission Design Course (XTM/1) updated:
     I've completly redesigned XTM/1, so it should be even better now. Right now, I need to update one thing: online test. However this will have to wait for new TO. But don't worry, you can still pass old test, or take offline version of new one.

8. Final word:
     Remember. My office is always open for you. You can email me anytime and ask question and I will reply for sure. Do not be affraid of me. I know some people paint me as cold-hearted bastard but trust me I am here to help you all, so in case of any questions just drop me an email at pbmike@go2.pl
