Blurred Lines #2

-“Well…” Starfire tugged down his gaberwool tunic –“That went well after all”. He tried to break the silence as the other two along with him, headed straight into the turbolift where their CMDR was waiting on both the elevator and the group. Blackheart’s eyes turned to scowl the younger officer –“Keep your…tastes to yourself”. The man wanted to leave the incident behind. As any good drill officer, he couldn’t find the fun even on a Gungan circus. Once they met their CMDR, all of them silently entered the turbolift.

- “I now fully understand why you stepped down”, Araujo himself broke the silence staring at Pryde.  –“Actually, why you two stepped down” deviating his look at Horus and tightening his lip. None of them replied but Pryde sighed heavily. CMDRship might look like a brilliant spot but it has a fair share of harsh realities and quite a lot of burden over those who dare taking on the job. Still, Pryde is one, if not the one, that lasted longer on the post – more than 6 years in one tour of duty and he had 3 ToDs. Araujo wanted to honor the man’s dedication to the squadron...but at what price? He wondered often.

Compared to the upper deck, this entry hallway had a triangle-shaped section and had a smaller height. Subtle ways to communicate you were on lower decks Araujo thought. –“Follow me”. He dryly addressed the rest.

As they walked down the corridor, the blast doors opened and two officers came in...

 

Want to know the rest? for now, I'll submit it on the runons channel but later on, we'll use the new features of the site. Don't miss this new episode!
 

Intro & News
  • Roster updates: Updated FG DM groups on Discord, MSE sheet update is completed with latest personnel rotation. Will update with current stats after submitting this WSR. 
  • Descrption update: updated info on EH site.Squadron description is now from both in-universe and RL.
  • Wiki update: in progress I've been working a lot on the information on our wiki site. It is still a WIP but at least we got the structure of the article after a research on RL SpecOps articles and air force squadrons. Proceeding to fill it. I really suggest you guys fill up your INPRs and wiki articles if you haven't done so. If you do not have wiki access send me the information while we manage to get you a working account if posssible. 
  • WSR format: I took the time to build a brand new WSR format on a free onlne html wyswyg editor whose limited characters had me editing the report by pieces. Yes, I type, when I reach the limit I cut and paste the code in notepad++ and keep typing. WSR format is being updated yet again to provide more information and attempting to display it visually better. 
  • Embers of the Empire: LT Ilios is still working on Embers so any testers that could help providing feedback are welcome. DM him for details. In case you don't know, EotE is a submod of XWAU like TFTC but revolves around the Post-Endor era, around the Peace Agreements time on Legends. A very professional work. Please, support him by trying it!
  • Pryde is still our XO. As per command's orders all SQXOs are positioned in 2-1 while 3-1 will be for FLs. Therefore Pryde and switched positions. The FL will be a sort of 3rd in command. SQXOs will have roughly same access authority than CMDRs. Both are lacking a precise descrption on their roles but I do plan to have ones. This will go on thel likes of the FL being your drill sergeant and the SQXO ensuring additional activities, morale and administrative procedures are being carried out by the regular personnel (you). They'll be like the bad cop/good cop duo.
  • Welcome Ty Seerlan and former Alpha Drake Starfire into our unit! :D I'm happy with the current roster. I expect good things from you.
  • Son has left :( My happiness with the current roster didn't last much for our e-son Woofwolffe, was recruited by Inferno's SQXO. I wish him well.
  • TIE Sequel Campaign: I think the TIE Fighter Sequel can wait for TFTC1.3 to be released and I think it will be released after some updates on XWAU5.5 Either way, maybe I can start programming some of the missions. I'm aiming to make of whatever the outcome of our runon is, a full campaign. I already begun by posting this short episode. So we need to work on the details on how we'll RP.
  • Standing Orders updated: Renamed non-flight as auxiliary activities and specified SQXO can recommend to consider an activity as regular/extraordinary and a subclass of flight/auxiliary/administrative. This will be updated in the coming weeks to suit operative needs.
  • Evaluation tables on WSR updated: Since command wishes to discriminate between flight and non-flight activities (something we've been doing since...a couple years ago), there is a good reason to expand on the evaluation table but this time to avoid saturation and spacing issues, we'll be using multiple evaluation tables, one per activity class as specified on the Standing Orders

Aaand to this one. Hammer: Crewmans Log As Admiral Phoenix Berkana said: "This weeks prompt: The ISDII Hammer is home to a incredible group of pilots, who outside of flying also have to live their lives aboard this massive vessel. What do they do when they’re not on a mission? How do they spend their time? What places on the ship to they frequent? Who do they hang out with? The prompt for this round is to write about how your pilot character spends their downtime. What do they do, where do they go? Fiction can be told from and point of view and should be a minimum of 500 words. Please email it to the COM by 23:59 Sunday GMT."

Observation: So this month I finally managed to fly the expected quota and a bit more. Did a bit of everything but mainly I worked on other areas areas: researching on squadron management with USAF books on the subject, restructuring the WSR format for which for the first time I fully did it on html instead of WYSIWYG so yes, had to learn html on my own. It is a WIP as I plan to better present the information. I'm also planning out the logistics of the squadron , figuring out better ways to communicate like the FG DM groups for example, using the Wiki to create resources for us like the Standing Orders page and updating our squadron page as well plus building up a list of additional secondary games for us. There is still a lot to do but my motivation is back I think. I just didnt fly more because of all this research but I got all platforms save BF2 and SWS installed, even tested TFTC and reported a couple bugs to their dev team. Really, this month I invested countless hours behind the scenes for the EH. Right now I'm offline so I had to borrow wifi on a mall to submit this report

Observation: Good job. Quite a decent job considering the time constrains. I'lll allow him to be a lone wolf insofar as SWS because of this. I'm happy with his performance.

Miscellaneous

  • Campaign Role Play.

    About the campaign project:

    As you might know, we'll be flying cooperative missions hopefully for TFTC but if that doesnt work, we'll go for XWAU or BoP as plans "B" and "C". With the OPT_Limit hook desynching connections, chances are we'll have to revert to base XWAU and for that I might be just trying to follow a EaW gameplay to draw inspiration for the battles as we figure out how it works before we move forward

    Depending on the outcome of each mission (we might win or lose them) the next missions might change their context.

    As special forces we might have the benefit of mission rehearsals, meaning we can fly the mission 2 times under what we believe would be the "real" scenario according to whatever data Intelligence can provide (which may or may not vary).

    However, for the mission to be fully successful after rehearsals, we'll have to achieve a bigger score on the "real" deal. And we'll have just 3 waves on rehearsals. Fail there and you won't qualify for the mission. On the "real" deal you'll have just 1 wave. If 50% or more doesnt qualify, mission fails and story will change. If we are successful on the rehearsals but fail on the real mission, we'll fail eitherway and depending on how we fail, story will change.

  • Auxiliary Platforms

    As the EHTC adopts the concept of secondary games, we expand further on it and propose a list for us all to have fun with other suqd mates. I'll eventually dump this list into a wiki page and update it as we see fit.

Ilios is not only one of the TFTC devs but also an amazing guy and a very talented mission creator. I'll never cease to promote his work which can be downloaded here on the latest version that I'm aware of. He did what I originally wanted to do for XWA. I'll work on my own campaign inspired by his work. Let's support him penguins, he is one of us!

  Pazaak!
https://pazaak.parsely.io/join/KCEsca Pazaak is like Blackjack or 21, except the goal is 20 and you have to stay 20 or under. This is the mini-game that could be played on KOTOR iirc. Fun stuff. Thank VA Marenta for this.

Basically anything else you suggest can be added to this list of games for fun that might eventually be the subject of competitions but our focus remains on the primary platforms.

Star Wars Book List:

As the site says "This is a simple list of all of the full-length Star Wars novels to date, in chronological order of when the stories take place, with the movies and TV shows also added for context. This list does not include most young readers' books or short novellas, or TV shows aimed at young children. Books whose stories overlap within the same timeline are listed in recommended reading order based on my own judgement. Release dates are for the US - dates and availability may vary in other countries". You can check this most useful list here: https://www.yodasdatapad.com/booklist.html. Bookmark it! I already did!!!

GoG XW Series

Commander's Analysis
Still a lot to do. I hope I'm not overwhelming you with info but I want to make sure you have at your disposal the Rules of Engagement for your participation in this unit before we continue. Let us focus on you owning the main platforms, knowing where you are stationed, who to reach, what it is expected from you and how to do it. 

Closing
Hit me up on Discord or email. I’m usually able to respond 24/7.
