Freshly promoted SL Pete Mitchell and SL
Treb Helfest stepped off
the transport onto the deck of hangar bay 3 of the SSSD Sovereign, home of
Wing III and Gimel Squadron. Both of
them looked around. Pete’s eyes first enjoyed the view of
all the TIE Advanceds, TIE Defenders, and Missile
Boats. Then they saw a couple female
officers talking. “This is what I call
a target rich environment!” Treb shook his head, “You live your life
between your legs, Pete.” “Treb, even
you could get laid in a place like this.” “I’m telling you I’d be happy to find a
girl who’d talk dirty to me.” “Helfest,
Mitchell!” Pete and Treb saw an officer yelling at them. “Into Commander Darkhill’s office, now!” Pete and Treb
walked into CM Den Darkhill’s office and stood at
attention. “Gentlemen, welcome to Gimel Squadron
and the SSSD Sovereign.” CM Darkhill greeted
them. “Why are you here?” “To be the best fighter pilot in the
Navy, Sir!” responded Pete. “That is quite a statement from someone fresh
of Daedalus, Mitchell. You are here to
serve the Emperor. Now, go find your
bunks and report to the ready room at 0600.
Just remember, if you screw up just this much, you’ll be flying a
cargo ship full of rubber bantha poodu out of Tatooine! As the new pilots walked out of the
office, Treb said “Thanks Pete, I needed that!” “We are gonna
have fun here…” replied Pete. |

First,
congratulations are in order for the freshly promoted COL Earnim Branet and
LT Garuth Dahala! In
the Top Muse Competition, the one entry was AD Miles Prower for his idea to
go back to old school Pete Mitchell, which I did. He earned himself an IS-BR In
TCPL, COL Gyssler took the cake this week, but CPT Rando won out for the
month. It’s
MSE time again, and the deadline is here.
I have the Warrior’s, now I need the Hammer’s. I need them ASAP. I
go on leave starting this Saturday 9/22 and will return on Wednesday
10/3. I will be in Hawaii with limited
access to email and even more limited time, so Plif will be in charge. |

TIE Corps on Patrol 2018: Round 19 Assignments: XvT-Free 183: Python to the
Rescue! XWA-Free 113: Battlegroup VII
Relocation BSF emails/pilot files will be due by 5 pm
Pacific/8 pm Eastern/1 am London on Monday September 24. 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 1st 2nd
and 3rd total points for the year.
(at least 5 participants) IS-GW/SW/BW for 1st 2nd
and 3rd total points for the year in each platform (at least 4
participants) Monthly: IS-GW/SW/BW for 1st 2nd
and 3rd total points for the month (at least 3 participants). Weekly: IS-SW/BW for 1st and 2nd
total points for the week (at least 3 participants). IS-SW/BW for 1st and 2nd

Round 19 Assignments: TIE-Free 78: Corran
Horn #1 – Current HS = 84,767 XvT-Free 33: Hyperdrive
Repairs – Current HS = 75,640 XWA-Free 38: Blazing Fury! – Current HS = 8,225 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 October 1. 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 1st 2nd
and 3rd total points for the year.
(at least 5 participants) IS-GW/SW/BW for 1st 2nd
and 3rd total points for the year in each platform (at least 4
participants) IS-GW/SW/BW for 1st 2nd
and 3rd 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 1st 2nd
and 3rd total points for the month (at least 3 participants). Weekly: IS-SW/BW for 1st and 2nd
total points for the week (at least 3 participants). IS-SW/BW for 1st and 2nd
in each platform (at least 2 participants). Top
Muse: Competition runtime:
Through the end of the year. Units involved: All active TC members Competition medals: IS-PR/GR/SR for the remainder of the
year (4+ entries) IS-GR/SR/BR for the month (4+ entries) IS-SR/BR weekly (3+ entries) Description: This is the easiest fiction competition
ever! You only need to come up with an idea, not write a whole fiction out.
Each week, please submit your idea for the short weekly fiction in the TCCOM
report each week by Sunday at midnight GMT. Your idea can be as simple as a
sentence or more of an outline. Do NOT write a whole fiction. The winning
idea will be turned into a work of fiction by the TCCOM for his report. The
author of the winning idea will win an IS-SR and 2 points towards the annual
and monthly standings. The second best idea will earn 1 point towards the
annual and monthly standings. Ideas will be judged on criteria such
as: originality, relevance to recent events and previous TCCOM fictions, ease
of turning into a short fiction, and other whims of the TCCOM. Any ties for
the monthly or annual totals will be broken by selecting the best idea over
the time period as judged by 3 members of the TIE Corps Admiralty Board that
are not part of the tie. How to participate: Each week, email your idea directly to
me. |
