Tactical Officer Report # 113

Introduction:
This week I bring sad news.

CA:TAC resigns
Sad news. My CA:TAC, VA Philo has to resign due to extrime time restrictions in RL. He was really great CA, and he will be really missed. So, now I have to find replacement. Life sucks. There are no real requirements. Mail me with "CA:TAC application" and take your best shot. TCCs/TACAs have best chances.

New patches
All hail SCO for new patches. BoP and TIE ones. This means XvT-TC #28 will be finally unlocked. Good job Ender.

Final word:
I have more time now, but still use mail. I am on IRC from time to time and I try to join EH/TC meetings, but sometimes I am unable to do this. Mail me, or my Command Attaché with any questions or simply join #tac and ask your question there. I am sure someone will be able to answer it.
