It's been a long time since I've done one of these, but I am in fact still alive. This may surprise anyone who's seen some news about my part of the world being literally on fire (which is not very fun, but I'm fine).

My hardware was out of commission for a short time towards the end of last year, but I've now got a shiny new computer for TC stuff. I chose the case because it's literally styled after a lightsaber - if that sounds like fun to you, it's a Bitfenix Saber

Ace of the TIE Corps medals for all of 2019 have now been awarded. Congrats to the overall winners

- GN Anahorn Dempsey - 1058 missions (IS-PW)

- GN Elwood the Brave - 545 missions (IS-GW)

- LC Rando - 415 missions (IS-SW)

Here's the full table, month by month:

No one took home more than 5 monthly medals, which was a surprise to me. If you'd like to change that this year, Ace of the TIE Corps will run again in 2020!

I needed to test a SWGB mission, so I made an EHBLv2 that could handle that, amongst other things. It's in a distinctly prototype state at this point, but I hope it can develop into something useful.

The TAC Office website is getting an overhaul behind the scenes to incorporate some mission design tools that I've been working on.

The TAC admin section of the TIE Corps Database now has an XvT Pilot Viewer, which is better able to explore the 0 score from using unlimited waves, amongst other things.

- Updated TIE-TC #244, thanks to Tempest providing an update. If you want to be the Lord of the TIEs, the reported bugs have been fixed

- Tried out Empire at War for the first time in almost 15 years. It runs ... not very well, but a bit better after installing the MP lobby / >2GB RAM fix that's on starwars.com

- Manual review of pilot files

- Worked out a method of merging two combat records in the database.
