REPORTING OFFICER: Admiral Plif, Strategic Operations Officer
DATE SUBMITTED: 28 Dec 2018

After some discussion about Imperial University courses, GN Dempsey has implemented a change to the database that allows credit for any IU course to be displayed in a pilot's profile! Previously, we'd only kept up with the ~50 courses that were part of IWATS. Switching to the full IU curricula brings us north of 130 courses. While we were making changes, we also updated ID lines in a couple of ways: IWATS Core is now officially renamed TIE Corps Core (TCCORE) and we've designated a handful of courses to appear on the ID line as opposed to every course. These courses are:

• TIE Corps Core (TCCORE)
• Combat Operations Exam (COE)
• Mission Creation and Beta Testing Standards (MCBS)
• Multiplayer 1/2 (MP)
• Squadron Management 1/2/3/4 (SM)
• Tactical Staff Course (TCS)
• TIE Fighter Mission Creation 1/2/3 (TM)
• Wiki Editing for Dummies (WIKI)
• XWA Mission Design (XAM)
• X-Wing Mission Design (XMD)
• XvT Mission Design 1/2 (XTM)

We picked these courses as they reflect certification in the skills needed to perform certain duties, which is a handy thing to know at a glance. All of a pilot's course completions will appear on their database profile's Academics tab and their ATR will show an entry each time we add a course to their profile. I'm working on updating profiles to reflect each pilot's course completions based on what's listed in the EH database, no need to email me anything just yet.

MAJ Aldaric's running the TIE Corps Holiday Tournament for us with flying and non-flying assignments weekly until mid-January. Check out the description here. The second round of assignments went out on the 23rd, see Aldaric's email on the TC Mailing List for the links.

MP Nights on Thursdays at 5:30 Pacific are still running, though a little lighter on participation during the holidays.
