COO REPORT #4

FROM: COO/RA Hawkins DATE SUBMITTED: 25th October 2015

TALES FROM THE AGGRESSOR

It was short past midnight, a long day with evals and a hell lot of paperwork had barely come to an end. Woody was just ogpong through the latest reports from Rear Admiral Hawkins. The latest activities were succesful. But even those good messages made the report a dry lecture, and after all those hours of paperwork of the day made Woody fall asleep. ***** It was a hectic race to the next beacon. Woody in his Nyx flying like a deamon, Dempsey in her Interceptor flying right next to him. 'Maybe this time we'll be able to get that beacon' Woody wispered while he checked the radar screen for any signs of the oposing team. Nothing to see there et, but it was stil 2000 m before his board computer would access the beacon and start capturing it. Then, out of no where as it seemed, the first bullets of the enemies fire hit his fighters shields making it glow in bright light. Woody tryed to avoid the enemies fire, but his opponent seemed to be quite competent. Woody was unable to shake him. After a short time his shields gave up the fight and a missile finished of the job, letting Woody's cockpit turn into a fireball together with the rest of the fighter. ***** "What the hell..." Woody shot up appalled and needed a second to realize where he was. The COO report was lying on his desk. Woody still felt the heat of the exploding ship burning on his skin and the adrenaline rushing through his veins. "That was an awesome dream, until I died." Woody shook his head. "Maybe I should get myself a couple of simulator sessions." Woody checked the time and decided to call it a night. "Tomorrow I will give this report to Pell and get myself some time in my TD again." Woody stood up "It's been far too long since it was on its last mission." Submitted by FA Elwood the Brave

NEWS

LOC screenshots waiting to be processed: 0 LOS screenshots waiting to be processed: 0 Since last week, I have been trying very hard to differntiate the time to the end of the month, and the time till my week's holiday! As much as I'd wish that would give me more TC time, I've packed it so full of family stuff, drinking trips, work (in a holiday! yay!) and other assorted shennanigans, I'll be lucky to see my dear old cockpit for much more than a few mins at a time! However... Very soon I will have a new COOA bursting with enthusaism and just desperate to process all those lovely sceens. Should free me up a bit! THE SEARCH FOR A NEW COOA DRAWS TO A CLOSE The search for a new COOA has now ended. As of today, I have made my decision and will be contacting all the applicants shortly in order to inform them of my choice. It was an insanely hard choice, as each candidate put in a very strong application, and every one of them was deserving of the position. A huge thanks to MAJ Drachen, CM Jast, LCM Sparky and LT Silvius for your excellent applications. You'll hear from me soon. The official annoucnement and re-assignment will be organised for next weekend, to allow a week of handover. COO FICTION I hope you enjoyed Woody's submission this week! It is very fitting, and reflects the very reason why I am inviting pilots to make fiction submissions. However - please do not wait for an invite! Any budding fiction writer who would like to submit a story, please email me any fiction submissions you would like to write. AVENGER SQUADRON Ideas have begun to come in for how to develop Avenger Squadron as a more meaningful entity within the TC. Here are some of the suggestions so far: One - The problem with the current Avenger Squadron is that it's based on the same criteria as MP Ace of the TIE Corps and MSE awards are also based on the same activity, so you can't award Iron Stars or Merit Medals for being in Avenger Squadron the way it is now. So, change it. Turn Avenger Squadron into a dueling society where pilots have to establish a 1v1 history against other TC pilots. The TC pilots with the top twelve dueling records are Avenger Squadron members, at risk of losing their spot if other pilots are more active duelers than they are. Records would have to be based on both win/loss ratio and overall matches played to make that work. The problem is that this would only really work for XvT and XWA and all of the MP issues with those platforms. You can duel in SC, but it might be weird (or might not?). Avenger Squadron members earn Iron Stars based on how long they've remained members of Avenger Squadron and their position within the squadron. Two - Make Avenger Squadron membership based on XvT and XWA MP only. Avenger Squadron members earn Iron Stars based on how long they've remained members of Avenger Squadron and their position within the squadron. Different from the previous idea because win/loss ratio isn't a factor , it's not just 1v1, and MP PvE would also count. Three - Turn Avenger Squadron into a recognition program for TCoR and COO competition/event participation. Some number of points for each week/month/competition participated in, more points for winning. At the end of the year, Avenger Squadron pilots would receive Iron Stars (or merit medals?) based their point totals. Please, discuss these ideas by replying to this mail, and email me if you have any other ideas on how to move Avenger forward!

COO COMPETITIONS

This Month's Competitions: Ok... this really IS the last week for this month's COO Competitions! The SC kills competition is very close, with only 6 kills seperating the pilots in 1st and 5th place... One big push on Kills/Assists could easily change things last minute! AD Pellaeon briefly overtook COL Aznable to land 2nd place in the SC objectives competion only for Aznable to come back in the latter part of the week, whilst the battle for 2nd and 3rd place in the MP COOP ACE competition is very close, with HA Dempsey and LT Silvius very close for 2nd place, only a short way ahead of the 4th placed pilot (LT SuSaWo).
