Good
day pilots. Have a seat, grab some coffee (or tea or chocolate and if
it is chocolate, give me some :V) because there's a lot I need to
communicate and I need you to be aware (that somehow has a rhythm, lol)
Overall, SWS (Star Wars Squadrons, get used to those
initials) accelerated our activity. I think we're heading back into
high levels of activity as a club. This puts an additional pressure on
us, CMDRs - and the whole CoC, to increase efficiency in administrative
processes. Lucklily I've formatted the WSR in a way you're pointed
right into the news and we get to know how much each one of us have
done both in flight and non flight operations. Makes easier the monthly
evaluation. We have a new flight sim after 20 years, we've one of our
ships back, a few of its squadrons, interesting proposals on fiction, a
modification of rules regarding PvE and PvP activity and modifications
insofar as activity status on the fleet which I'll briefly comment.
Plus we still have IS going on and we've a change in our rosters with a
new (veteran) joining our ranks. I told you, a lot was going on.

Emperor's Hammer
- Latest news can be found here.
Well, here I
do link you to the EH news but since a lot has been happening I thought
we
could talk a bit over here to be a bit consistent with my own report
format.
New Flight Sim Hype
Star Wars Squadrons, regardless of how will it
be whether arcade-ish or not, has generated a lot of hype. As a witness
of this
on multiple Discord channels I can say it feels so 1999 :D
so I’m happy.
I can only hope I manage
to get
the game, that it isn’t as arcade-ish as
some think it might be (even though I’d live with that and have fun)
and
research on the classic games doesn’t stop because of the new game and
its
possible potential for modding. So much hype in fact, RP organizations
are getting
on the hype wagon to drag some unsuspecting recruits into their ranks.
Here’s
when we keep in mind we RP inside our gaming environment. We are receiving (and will receive more in the
future), proposals for alliances and partnerships. If you as members of
the TC,
happen to be contacted by anyone for such things, please drop me, CMDR
Zekk,
Admiral Miles Prower or TCCOM Plif a message. Whoever is online should
work for
this though, ideally, you should contact first either Zekk or I as the
ROAs. If
we are both offline, then try with Miles and if he’s offline then Plif.
We are there so the workload can
be delegated.
(Meaning, if you learn
about a channel or environment we might be interested
for recruitment, tell us first).

Latest TCCOM report
-
So, the Old Lady
Returns.
Also, as a direct consequence of the hype, the
increased number of recruits allowed for an old lady to return: as you
might
have heard or read on email, the ISDII: Challenge is back as an active
ship.
Best of luck to Dempsey as the new ChalCOM! A
fine officer for a fine ship. An historic
event indeed, we significantly grow back in numbers. (Meaning, I want you to
actively recruit people btw). Really, it’s been years since we
last reactivated
a ship.
Oh yes, Imperial
Storm still rages on!
So,
as I said and as you might know if you
check your email (hint, hint), Imperial Storm goes on. We won last
battle (Go
Hammer!). I wanted to make a comment: the missions picked by the SIMS
are gorgeous:
lessons in mission making and tactical challenges. I admit I struggled
to get
decent scores in those I’ve flown so hats off to those who won and even
more
for those who got HS regardless of the ship, my congratulations to
those fine
spacemen! What I want you to do? Keep flying those missions, try
your best to
have 50% HS or more. Fly MP as much as possible
during those days…which days? Keep
an eye on your email. I’ll do my best to inform you via Discord
as well but
really, keep an eye on your email gents. Which one to fly? I'll quote
Phoenix
'As before, you have THREE days to
fly a FREE mission I have selected below and earn as many Legions of
Combat or Skirmish as you can muster.
The deadline is 23:59 GMT
on Friday... good hunting!

A Man of Culture,
is a Man of Culture, is a Man of Culture
Our
Warden (and
Master of Milk :V) is coming up with some awesome ideas for RP and
fiction. I
really urge you to participate in our run-on RP and on the competitions
he is
about to post. For more details see his email (did I tell you to check
your
emails already?). I really like the course where this is going! (yes,
go spend
some time on Discord, post on the runon
and enjoy yourselves writing some fiction).
Changes in Activity
Criteria.
For a while, requirements for activity were
down to simply saying “hi” once in a month to avoid being AWOLed. This,
somehow
affected a squadron’ activity. Now, I quote our TCCOM on this regard:
“To help
prevent this,
CMDRs will be able to ask that FMs and FLs be transferred to the
Reserves if
the pilot hasn't been active for two consecutive months. For 'active',
we're using a very broad definition, pretty much anything more than just
communicating. Flying missions, participating in competitions,
working on
Wiki articles, taking IU courses, writing fiction, and creating
graphics are
the basic kinds of things we think of when we're discussing whether a
pilot's
been active or not.”
Meaning, a degree of activity is needed.
Personally I’m happy with frequent Discord presence or a couple emails
at week
(proactively emailing, not just me reaching to you just to see if
you’re still
alive). Show up on Discord, say hi, share a bit with your fellow
members… I
mean why would you join just to do nothing? You’re in a club, come and
participate with us! J I’ve spoken.

Latest COO report
-
And Another Modification in the Awarding Criteria.
Indeed,
our COO tweaked a bit the rules for
awarding LoS and LoCs. I highly recommend you to see his reports.
Basically
custom battles on Star Conflict are no longer valid for LoCs and LoS
and you
need to post two screenshots for XvT: in addition to the screen with
the number
of kills and scoring, you need the individual player statistics screen
(just your
own if you’re submitting) if I'm right. For further reference, again I
urge you to check the
COO’s report or message me or ask in our Discord or our email group or
check
our site…

Alpha Squadron
Your CMDRs' Own Crazy
Activities Nobody Was Asking For.
So,
what have been your crazy CMDR up to? I’ve
got to be crazy to get myself into so many things at once. I’ve
been quite busy working online but I manage to keep an eye on Discord
so its most likely I’ll
be there 24/7 just in case, you know, you want to proactively
contact me, your
CMDR… really, I don’t
bite and I took a shower :V
- Writing isn't as easy
as it sounds. I’ve been
writing around 200-300 words a day on my spare time. I’m trying to come
up with
a decent English but honestly, it’s not just the English per se, it’s
about
properly describing the actions and what kind of actions takes place.
I’ll just
write up whats on my mind and let the thing go
on
.
- I've spent some spare tie installing one of the classic
Doom's ports and a mod called 'Brutal Doom'. Man, so bloody fun (yes,
pun intended). totally not for PG. Fun for adults. You can ride
vehicles, have extra weapons and new monsters and even recoil effects.
Fun stuff. You need to install a specific Doom port, then the pk3 file
and you need to own a copy of Doom or Doom 2.
- So, theres this spanish squadron who is in contact with
the X-Wing community Discord, who has been using a DSUCP install for
their MP activities. They enabled it for DL:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1zsGru0fLvAvDBC6WJm7XKb9aG9Jjxjpd
- There is another DSUCP install that
seems actively maintained by the X-Wing Community itself whose link can
be found here both this and the previous one
need to be tested so I've scheduled to install and test each one.
- A third one will come with the
TFTC project for XWA. It is most likely we could be using it. We need
to check it out.
- Also I was working on my own
install of DSUCP...so I have to test it along with the others and see
which one is the best for our MP fun.
- I've been meaning to write up
the email for our squadron new role and fighters. I think I could be
doing it on the next following days.
- My activities as ROA have kept
me busy looking at other Discord channels and interacting with a number
of people outside EH. Generally it has been a good, learning experience
that reminds me of my times in Astro Empires as a diplomat. But it can
get time consuming at moments.
- I'm tasked with helping our SCO
testing a few of our mods on XWA. I'm probably doing what's left of
this task tomorrow.
- Also being honored with
checking what would be the next version of SM/5, our course for CMDRs
written by our esteemed Sin CMDR, LC Zekk Terrik.
- Installed and tested the latest
version of Expanding Fronts. A Galactic Battlegrounds mod you totally
need to install and enjoy!
For what I want to do with the XW series, the plan
remains, the general outlines of my fiction are
done, writing now the detailed story before I start building missions.
As for modding,
if all works, on XvT we'd be playing the following flight plan:
1) TIE Campaign part I - Battles 1-7
2) Default XvT/BoP missions
3) BoP campaign
4) TIE Campaign II: battles 8-13
5) TC PvE enabled missions and battles.
So there will be a lot of PvE for us to do on XvT/BoP.
For XWA I plan for us
the following:
1) Converted TIE Campaign
2) Converted XvT/BoP missions
3) Converted BoP campaign
4) (Possibly, need to talk to Yoda) converted XvT/BoP PvE enabled
missions/battles.
5) Storyline about us, the new canon and some events
based on RL I wanted to propose on my fiction.
Either way we'd have a lot of PvE activity and I'd like
us to try PvP
not just with the default craft but also with the custom ones.
Also, whenver you have the time update not just your INPR but consider
an article for your character on the wikia.
I'd like very much for us to do this on a weekly basis once it is
ready. Possibly friday
or saturday, I'd locally record it and post the gameplay to keep a
flight record of our deeds as a squadron.

If you like it and can spare some time, get involved on

COMMANDER’S ANALYSIS
|
|
|
Probably the busiest week on my ToD, lots of
administrative work but I'm happy. I'm also happy to see at least some
of you reported back in. I really appreciate it. Now here's hoping you
keep some basic activity and enjoy the hype that is going around.
Dismissed!
