Mr Homolka. Stop eating my sasame cake. STOP EATING MY SESAME CAKE!

     This week was much better than previous one. Although I am still extremaly busy with my real life, but I found more time for EH. This fruits in number of new battles released. A lot of new stuff for all 4 platforms. That's good and TAC3K is closer. Only 106 missions to go
     Also, my CA has resigned, and this week I had to do everything on my own. But ya know, I am not as bad and lazy as they tell, so I did everything from HSs checking to hiring/processing new staff. So my counter jumped up to 1743 approved/processed HSs. And 106th person has been added to Tactical Database. This means over 100 different people worked for Tactical Office now and then. I am happy with that.
     My new CA:TAC has been selected. I have mailed GA Ronin and SA Astatine with my suggestiong and I am waiting for their approval. But I am sure they won't have any problems with this person. His HSs checking and mission creation experience will help me a lot. And of course, I will teach him new things and prepare him to take over while I'm on leave or gone :)
     As for other things. Rummor about my resignation or my being fired by GA Ronin, are not true. Someone who told you that is lieing. So don't listen to all what they say about me. Truth lies in the middle. Remeber that :)

IW battles updated
     As you know all IW battles were special. They had weird numbers, without any order. After agreement with IWTAC about 2 months ago, I have finally managed to make the normal. So they are no in good order. I am sure there won't be any problems with that. You get use to it, and it will be fine.

XWA and XvT/BoP staff sought
     I have fired a lot of people recently so we are now searching for replacements. XWA TCTs and XvT/BoP TCTs are needed. We don't need testers anymore so don't apply. All requirements can be found on Mission Creation Forum. Apply to me and TCC of the platform you wish to join. If you cannot find email of TCC, then don't apply. Also, ALWAYS include your PIN in your application. No PIN = application denied! I mean it.

Final warning
     I am sick of people who do no read report or new, so I am going to say it last time. From now on, every mail to me, asking about update, wrong BSF, application, ect will be ignored. I encourage you all to add your PINs and emails to your ID lines, so it will be easier for us, command staff. Thank you for your attention.

Mission Creation Corner
     Thanks to COL Frodo for sending his ideas. Here they are

1. Always make sure that any craft Entering an SSD In BoP has high A.I, or else it crashes into it.
2. XvT/BoP Mission files can never exceed the size of 200KB, or else XvT Crashes
3. Always un-install the MIS patch before you put on the SMIS patch for anything, creating or flying!
4. XvT/Bop Can only have 19 messages with sounds attached, although #s 17, 18, 19 are reserved for specific messages.
5. You can always add more then one condition for any Goal, Order, Message, or Arrival, just click on the (always True) or (no Order) in the blue box and add away;)
6. The #0 briefing string is reserved for the XvTED Windows heading, don't use it for the briefing!
7. The easiest way to get a ship to remain immobile, but face a certain position, is to assign it a waypoint!
8. Make sure you enable a waypoint when you set one, you do this by clicking where it says the waypoint's name, example: If I set Waypoint 1 as X=5.00 Y=5.00 Z=5.00, then I click on were it says Waypoint 1 in the Waypoint screen until it gets Highlited in blue.
9. The "No lazers" status never works for a player fighter craft...you get lazers anyway.
10. Make sure you never give an order to "attack targets: Type *X*" if there is any of that type of ship in your team aswell, or else your wingmen will attack it.

Oath of Loyalty
     New mission creation competition starts on June 1st. It's about EH vs rDB situation and it's been approved by GA Ronin himself. I guess it's worth trying, so keep your pants on and get ready to rock :)

Uber Project (SCO Part) ender, Project Shield (TAC part) started
     Thanks to hard work of SCO staff, Uber Project has been completed. It's highly classified project and I can truly say: the greatest achievement in the history of EH. Cheating will not be possible anymore. Now, when SCO guys have finished their part, I am starting my part. It will take me some time, but as soon as I will finish no cheater will escape our justice. LONG LIVE THE EH!

     If you have question and I am not available, try joining #tac and ask there or use mail. Ultimately you can use Mission Creation Forum :)
