Introduction:
     This week was the end of FCHG restoration. Finaly. Now I have time to concentrate on the tasks given by our XO. We will complete them all, so EH will benefit from our work.

Tactical Office Objectives:
Task: How to do it?: % done:
More missions and faster turnaround in relation to testing New orders has been issued with new deadlines. From now on, tester has 1 week to complete his testing assignment, engineer has 2 weeks to perform correction and TCC/TCHC has 1 week to do final check and send the mission/battle for release. TCCs/TCHC will watch over deadlines. N/A
Better attitude/interaction with members regarding EHBL and in general Actualy, I will try to be more helpful/friendly from now on and do not react with emotions. N/A
Revise/update/fix the Tactical Manual I've started updating Tactical Manual, to version 3.0 as soon as I took TAC. But in the meantime there were so many changes, like release of EHBL and other thing, so I had to update/change it all the time. It was endless task, but this time I will try to release it, chapter after chapter. I have chapters 1 and 2 ready (out of 14), working on 3rd. As soon as I finish with 3rd I will release first alpha version of Tac-Man 3.0. 10%
Consolidate Tactical Office resources under a single working website Started working on it already. Made basic layout, added some graphics by my TACA, Justin. Right now I am writing some texts for the page, like roster and history. Justing is working on top banner. I think the alpha version will be released in two weeks, maybe less. 30%
Add EHBL content to the Tactical Manual and other relevant areas Included in update of Tac-Man project already. Will be relased along with chapters. Also there will be EHBL FAQs direcly on new TAC webpage and links to EHBL related materials on webpage. I will try to complete FAQ next week. N/A
More support work relating to new platforms (Jedi Outcast/Academy, Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds) My plans are simple. Release SWGB/JA mission creation course, together with TO, and join SWGB/JA mission creation communities to find more tools/hits/idea. SWGB course is ready, just waiting to be released. I am looking for someone to make JA course. I will contact SGCOMs this week and ask for their help/support, because SWGB/JA are not TC platforms. 5% done
Coordinate with Training Office in setting up training resources for new platforms I am still thinking how to do it. I will have to talk with TO. 0%
Restart Project Phoenix and clear out any bug reports currently existing Actualy we are trying to fix bugs all the time. Many of them are invalid. I do not think another special project is needed because XWA/TIE queue is empty so tactical staff is already working of those bugs. XWA is almost clear and they will fix bugs on daily basis. ~33%
Reform the Tactical staff from mission testers into a corps of mission designers I don't think we have to change current system completly, but add new position, Tactical Office Mission Designer. With Core squadron being reintroduced, it's members will be able to serve full time TMDs, and make missions when asked. N/A

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.
