Strategic Operations Office Report #39

From: SOO/VA Pete Mitchell
To: TCCOM/FA Pellaeon
CC: Entire TIE Corps Fleet

News

FA Pellaeon has returned from his leave, and I have to give up command of the TC and the Challenge…  He found some new dents in the Challenge, so I will begin a thorough investigation.  If anyone has any information, please see me (not Pellaeon).  I was definitely not drinking while piloting the Challenge; nor was I playing chicken with Miles and the Hammer…

In Imperial Storm, The TCCS and the Warrior are engaged for control of Vultur!  The battle has just concluded and we should hear the results before long.    

It’s also MSE time again!  I have passed the Warrior’s up to Pell and await the Hammer’s.

SOO Competitions

TIE Corps on Patrol 2018:

Round 10 Assignments:

TIE-Free 279: Wing Commander's Own 2009 #1: Cargo Convoy

XvT-Free 207: Cyclone Squadron Chronicles - Convoy Escort

XWA-Free 133: Dream Sequence

BSF emails/pilot files will be due by 5 pm Pacific/8 pm Eastern/1 am London on Monday May 21.

Rules:

It’s a new year, so this will change a little.  Every TWO weeks, there will be a free mission from each of the major SP platforms (TIE, XvT, XWA) assigned.  Pilots will fly each mission that they choose and BSF the battles to the TC database and forward the BSF email to Pete Mitchell.  If the pilot has earned a high score, BSF it and also send the pilot file to Pete Mitchell in case the BSF is not approved in time. 

Each week the pilot with the highest score in each platform will earn 4 points.  The next highest score will earn 3, the next highest 2, and all other submissions will earn 1.  If the winning pilot in a platform also earned a high score, that pilot will earn 5 points for that platform.  Points will accumulate for the week, month, and year for more awards.

Awards:

Annual:

IS-PW/GW/SW for 1^st 2^nd and 3^rd total points for the year.  (at least 5 participants)

IS-GW/SW/BW for 1^st 2^nd and 3^rd total points for the year in each platform (at least 4 participants)

XvT-Free 12: The Collision – Current HS: 54,410

XWA-Free 19: Attack at Abaddon – Current HS: 19,385

Rules:

This competition is similar to TIE Corps on patrol, but it is handicapped to make it accessible to more pilots.  Every TWO weeks, there will be a free mission from each of the major SP platforms (TIE, XvT, XWA) assigned.  Pilots will fly each mission that they choose and BSF the battles to the TC database and forward the BSF email to Pete Mitchell.  If the pilot has earned a high score, BSF it and also send the pilot file to Pete Mitchell in case the BSF is not approved in time. 

BSF emails/pilot files will be due by 5 pm Pacific/8 pm Eastern/1 am London on May 28.   

Each week the pilot with the highest handicap score (expressed as a % of the high score) in each platform will earn 4 points.  The next highest score will earn 3, the next highest 2, and all other submissions will earn 1.  If the winning pilot in a platform also beat the high score (without the handicap added), that pilot will earn 5 points for that platform.  It is possible for a pilot to be the only pilot to beat the high score, and not win that platform.  If for example, pilot A got 90% of the high score and has a 25% handicap for a total of 115%, and pilot B got 105% of the existing HS (and earned a new HS) with a handicap of 5% for a total of 110%, Pilot A would win the platform for the week for 4 points and pilot 3 would only earn 3 points. Points will accumulate for the week, month, and year for more awards.

Handicaps will be calculated as follows:

The average score in the platform as a percent of the high scores will be calculated as an average of all scores on that platform since the beginning of the League (avg).  The handicap will be calculated as the difference between the average and 100%.  For example, if a pilot’s average score in TIE is 75% of the HS, his handicap will be 100%-75%=25%.  If a pilot then scored 85,000 pts on a mission with an existing HS of 100,000 points, his handicap score would be 85% + 25% = 110%.

*The first round any pilot flies in any platform will not have a handicap added as the pilot will not have an average.  Therefore, the first round, there are no handicaps, only scratch scores. 

**I reserve the right to create a maximum handicap.  At this point, it is 75%. 

Awards:

Annual:

IS-PW/GW/SW for 1^st 2^nd and 3^rd total points for the year.  (at least 5 participants)

IS-GW/SW/BW for 1^st 2^nd and 3^rd total points for the year in each platform (at least 4 participants)

IS-GW/SW/BW for 1^st 2^nd and 3^rd most improved averages over the year in each platform (at least 4 participants, must have flown at least 10 missions)

Monthly:

IS-GW/SW/BW for 1^st 2^nd and 3^rd total points for the month (at least 3 participants).

Weekly:

IS-SW/BW for 1^st and 2^nd total points for the week (at least 3 participants).

IS-SW/BW for 1^st and 2^nd in each platform (at least 2 participants).
