Strategic Operations Officer Report # 35

SOO REPORT #35

REPORTING OFFICER: Fleet Admiral Plif, Strategic Operations Officer
DATE SUBMITTED: 31 Mar 2019

NEWS

This past week, the TCCOM advanced me to the rank of Fleet Admiral! Writing “FA” at the end of emails hasn’t become my habit yet, it’s usually “AD Plif” and then I have to delete it and start over. First world problems, for sure.

The MSE spreadsheeting I’ve been working on is in its final phase, with one squadron’s sent out and the others nearing completion. Per the usual intent behind a paperwork process change, I think the leaders won’t have to spend as much time putting their evaluations together with the new format.

The Trivia Grand Tour is in its eighth week, which wraps up later tonight. If you haven’t played yet, head over to http://tc.emperorshammer.org/timetest.php?testid=899825. Congratulations to last week’s winners, AD Miles Prower and CPT Lanil Jast!

REMINDERS

If you complete a new Imperial University course, you'll notice that your EH database profile gets updated automatically but not your TC database profile. The latter are updated manually by me and the TCCOM, please give us a day or two after your test is graded for the new course to appear in your TC profile before you email us about it.

TC MP Nights for XvT and XWA are on Thursday nights at 8pm Eastern. Participants meet up in the Hangar voice channel on the TIE Corps server on Discord.

We also have a weekly MP event with the Rebel Squadrons on Saturdays at 7pm Eastern. Participants meet up on the Neutral Ground server on Discord.

How the MoC is earned: In the monthly evaluations, each leader in the TIE Corps (CMDR+) lists all of the pilots that have checked in that month or communicated in a public forum. Those members are awarded an MoC with an oak cluster based on how many times they've earned the MoC in the past.

Oak Clusters: The MoC is always awarded with an oak cluster (MoC-boc, MoC-soc, etc.). For first two awards, it's a Bronze Oak Cluster. From there, the third award is Silver, the fourth and fifth awards are Bronze, the sixth award is Gold, the seventh and eighth awards are Bronze, the ninth award is Platinum, the tenth and eleventh awards are Bronze, and then the twelfth award is Diamond. After that, the cycle begins anew.
