Blurred Lines #4

Unknown space, 30 ABY. 

 

- "That was the last of them!" exclaimed Hopfot. 

- "Alright, good job everyone. Alpha Commander to Hammer, requesting permission to land"  Araujo just wanted to be back at his quarters. 

 

- "Alphas, this is Hammer: permission granted, we'll jump in 10 minutes." 

 

The Missile Boats and TIE Defenders of Alpha Squadron entered the hangar of the ISDII Hammer one by one while Narven Task observed the arriving fighters from the flight control -"Have the commander, and the briefing officer meet me at the bridge” he ordered to officers controlling the activities from the deck consoles.  

 

Moments later, the ship made its jump into hyperspace,  the pilots were debriefed and following the regular post-flight procedures , the two officers met at the bridge with Wing Commander Task and saluted him.

-”Gentlemen”, Task returned the salute, “Thanks to your efforts, after the destruction of the jamming vessel we were able to send a message to the fleet. Admiral Berkana has been informed on the incident as well as high command. We must analyze the data and present him a report as soon as he’s back on the ship. He along with the rest of the squadrons are on our way to the rendezvous point with the rest of the battlegroup at entryway of the Kazahlia system, two jumps away from planet Kazah”

-”So that’s the name of the system.” Araujo followed after ensuring the silence was long enough for him to respond. 

 

-”Indeed, we’ve received telemetry from the planet and the fleet forwarded it to us. Basic pertinent information is available now for you to review. Check your emails” indicated Task.

 

 The men kept talking on mission details, readiness of the fighters , their feedback on the updated control systems and the comparison with the new avionics which Araujo found detrimental to pilots as the A.I.-assisted aiming atrohpy a pilot’s ability to fine aim. A personal conservative and hardliner opinion that cost him a rivalry with many newer top guns on the TIE Corps. I don’t get the point of this meeting - Araujo thought, suddenly tired of the talk.


Half an hour later, he was on his way back to his quarters. He was hoping to be able to complete his WSR and his MSE before anything else took place. 
 

Intro & News
  • Roster updates: Updated FG DM groups on Discord (again), MSE sheet update is in progress 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.
  • 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

 
 

Competitions

You already know this: RtF is over. Check Discord announcements. I think we did better than last year and we didn't finish last. I think we did good considering all things. Next year will be even better hopefully. We'll be running a series of matches on this context to evaluate your flight performance. I'm halfway done evaluating your performance and I'm glad with the results so far. A full list of active competitions is available on https://tc.emperorshammer.org/competitions.php?id=current

Under the column "Units Involved", those marked as either TIE Corps or ISD Hammer are the ones within our scope. Yes, click there and check the competitions.

    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.

    Update 08-10: TFTC #1 is done, working on TFTC-2, still havent submitted the pertinent IUs

  • 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.

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

The classic Star Wars games (TIE Fighter, XvT, XWA, etc.) are available for digital sale at https://www.gog.com/ and http://steampowered.com/. The GOG version is generally preferred by most members for ease of patching with custom EH game content.

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.
