Tactical Officer Report # 107

Introduction
Hello guys and gals.
I don't have anything to say, so let's go.

Project Shield - final phase, 80% done
I have updated around 80% of links, and I will try to finish tomorrow. And then, Project Shield has green light.

New idea
I've been thinking about it in the last few days, and I am going to restrict competitions like FCHG, CAB or MCW. Because of high merit medals awarded there (GS in MCW). So there will be system of passed (from Nickel to Platinum). Here's what I propose:

Platinum Tactical Pass - authomatic advance to 2nd round in league style competitions, 10% bonus in points competition. Can be earned in Tactical competitions only.
Gold Tactical Pass - required to participate in MCWs. Can be earned in SG wide competitions. 3 Gold become 1 Platinum.
Silver Tactical Pass - required to participate in FCHG/CAB competitions. Can be earned in BG wide competitions. 3 Silver become 1 Gold.
Bronze Tactical Pass - required to participate in line Tactical Competitions. Can be earned in ship wide competitions. 3 Bronze become 1 Silver.
Nickel Tactical Pass - Can be earned in squadron wide competitions. 3 Nickel become 1 Bronze.

By competitions in mean FCHG races, HSs flying comps and mission creation comps.

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.
