Strategic Operations Officer Report # 7

SOO REPORT #7

REPORTING OFFICER: Admiral Plif, Strategic Operations Officer
DATE SUBMITTED: 29 Aug 2018

NEWS

For the first time in a while, the roster in the database has banners for both ships, both wings, and all six squadrons. The squadrons also all have patches displayed. It's not the most important thing ever, but it's oddly satisfying. Big thanks to GA Rapier for recovering the last image that was missing: Wing I's banner.

The July evaluation process is finally reaching completion with the Hammer's ship evaluation having been reviewed by myself and the TCCOM and returned to the HamCOM. That'll lead to a number of merit medals and a whole slew of MoCs, so I'll have a lot to cover in my next report.

This week, we decided to shift our live chat focus from Telegram to Discord. That's not to say that we'll stop using Telegram, it's more that Discord has some features we wanted to use and doesn't have a phone number requirement. We'll see how it goes? I'm cautiously optimistic.

The Trivia Grand Tour continues and is in its fourth week, URL for this round is http://tc.emperorshammer.org/timetest.php?testid=663183. Congratulations to our top two from Week Three, GN Mark Schueler and GN Pickled Yoda!

The two competitions for XvT-TC battle 146: Securing the Line will be over by the time I'm writing my next report, so this is the last week! We've got two participants for the flying competition and none for the review competition, so there are still medals that are entirely unclaimed. Both competitions end on the 5th at midnight GMT.

AWARDS

	AD Pete Mitchell In his first month as TCCOM, AD Pete Mitchell handled his new duties with vigor, kept up with running his competitions, and still made time to win 572 SP and MP sorties. For his fantastic work in July, I'm awarding Pete the Silver Star of the Empire. Recommended by: AD Plif
	FA Silvius During July, FA Silvius rolled through another 250 Legions of Skirmish, performed his COO duties admirably, and maintained an impressive eight competitions that he runs though there might even be one or two more that I missed when I was counting.
