TAC Report #6
REPORTING OFFICER: Admiral Pickled Yoda, Tactical Officer
DATE SUBMITTED: 6 Jan 2019
Long Time No See

Remember me? I haven't gone anywhere, but I have gone silent for some time. I'm sorry if you missed the TAC reports, but here's one to make up for it!

One of my goals as the incoming Tactical Officer was to improve communications... it's fair to say that has been a failure so far. I'll try to do better for 2019.

Ace of the TIE Corps

Ace of the TIE Corps will return for another year , this time returning once again to the auspices of the TAC. Thank you to Plif who has been looking after it for 2018.

The competition itself is unchanged - fly some of our fine single player content, and if you're in the top 3 of the killboard each month, you get a shiny.

Projects

Project Pyrite is progressing, but slowly. I hoped to have something ready for the end of the year and I didn't get anywhere close to that.

It's clear at this point that I need to be more realistic about what's achievable, but I'm still trying. I've got front and backend code doing a lot of the necessary work in terms of parsing the missions and it's getting to the point of just connecting pieces together in a useful way.

Tyrga reported a bug for TIE-TC 28 which had actually been fixed... but only in the EHM version. I was able to use some scripts based on Project Pyrite to decrypt the EHM version and apply the same change to the ZIP (a mission critical collision avoided by setting a single waypoint).

Following that, I was able to scan the TIE battles en-masse and identify a few other places where the ZIP and EHM content was not identical (or worse, was identical because the ZIP was accidentally encrypted). I'll be checking through those for potential fixes too.
