NEWS

LOC screenshots waiting to be processed: 0 LOS screenshots waiting to be processed: 0 SALUTE Been a quite a quiet week. Hope we will see more activity as the easter break period arrives! STAR CONFLICT COMBAT EVENT PROPOSAL After a small ammount of interest, I'd like to propose the weekend of the 2nd and 3rd of April of the Combat event. Please let me know if this is a good time for you all! This will not be the normal 'highest kills' used during the monthly challenge, but an actuall competative event in which TC pilots will need to organise and fly matches in competition with other members. Now, actually organsing to be on opposite teams is going to be near impossible, so I would like to propose the following: Each match will be between two or three TC Pilots, who must form a team. Each match must be PvP, but at any Tier agreed by the pilots in competition. If there is disagreement, the lowest Tier requested will be used. To win a match, a pilot must achieve the highest Efficiency (EFF) compared with his TC opponents. Each highest EFF will be counted as a Victory for that pilot, irrespective of whether the match overall was a victory or not. You are competing against your fellow TC pilots, not everyone else. Leave that for the LoCs! The pilot with the highest number of victories will be the overall winner, and recieve a Distinguished Flying Cross. Other medals for particpation may be added if there are sufficient members taking part. No pilot may compete against an opposing pilot more than three times. After the first three match reports featuring those pilots have been recieved, no further points can be scored when competing in a team containing that pilot, even if another pilot is present. If you are interested, please let me know, especially about the date. Thanks! COMBAT OPERATIONS COURSE I am please to annouce the release of a brand new Imperial University course; the Combat Operations Course, available here: http://www.emperorshammer.org/course.php?id=197 The course was written by myself with the support of CM Silvius, and other members of the TC who let me generate/use MP report screens for part of the test. Thanks to all, escpecially FA Tomaas Montte and FA Elwood the Brave, for their help in getting this course published! From now on, this course will be a requirement of serving in the COO. It is based upon the Combat Operations Office Manual. If you are interested in the activities of the COO, or simply enjoy the more academic side of TC life, please check it out! HUMBLE BUNDLE STAR WARS SALE If you missed the news, Humble Bundle is holding a Star Wars sale, which can be found here: https://www.humblebundle.com/star-wars AND... if you ask REALLY nicely, The TAC may consider getting it for you! This generous offer should very much be considered, as it supports charity, and the time to buy is almost up, AND the bundle comes with two of our MP platforms - X-wing vs TIE Fighter, and X-wing Alliance.
