WEEKLY HAMMER COMMODORE REPORT #3

TO: TCCOM HA Daniel Bonini FROM: Hammer COM RA Elwood the Brave DATE SUBMITED: 19th April 2014

OVERVIEW

And another decent week for the Hammer goes bye with some shinies and promotions. But therte has been some sad news, too. LC Scuslem has been declarfed AWOL and left us for the RSV's. I hope he'll find his way back to us soon! Our newest addition, SL Simomime earned herself her promotion to full Lieutenant. Congratulations, and well done! The HoP competition has been slightly changed to motivate some more participation. Now there's also a participation medal available. See the comps section for the details. The changes in the description of the HoP comp are in ittalic. Not much going on over the TC mailing list. The EH.org's server seems to be somewhat underperformant lately. This results in long waiting times for any database activity, missing database mails, and other issues. That's why I ask all of you that receive medals or promotions to forward me their medal award/promotional mails from now on until I give another order on this issue. That way we make sure no promotion or medal will be forgotten. I also ask you to forward me your bsf mails for the HoP submissions and cc me when you submit the HoP pilot files to your CMDR. This makes sure that no participation is lost. If someone send a pilot file for the HoP comp this week and I missed his participation, just forward me your bsf mail for those pilot files. I'll wait until Tuesday before I recommend those medals so there will still be time to adjust the ouitcome of this week of the comp if there were missed entries because of eh.org server issues. Epsilon CMDR COL Dunta Polo has started some new Epsilon squadron comps. Every Epsilon member should check out the competition center on the TC database about details.

IS-GW/SW/BW monthly for the top 3 pilots on the website's Kill Board - IS-PW/GW/SW/BW for the top 4 pilots at the end of the year. MP Ace of the TC The MP Kill Board will be used to keep track of points. Each LoC earns you a point for the competition, and a DFC counts for 5 points. Whoever scores most points win.

So the TIE Corps website doesn't seem to have the classic 'About us...' section up there for people to realize what we really are and what's this pseudo-military madness all about. And I've heard some officers from our current membership complaining that such situation could be driving potential new recruits back in panic thinking we're gonna eat their democratic souls or something, then forcing them to play games meant to be played only by lifeless beings who lost their twenties long ago. And hell... I think they're damn right. Therefore, and in order for such an important issue on our recruiting efforts to be addressed ASAP, your most dreaded SOO has decided to set up an official competition for you to be able to contribute with what may perfectly be the best thing you'll ever do for the Fleet as a whole out of your own performance as pilots and commanding officers. ALL current members of the TIE Corps are hereby called to participate by submitting their own versions of an eventual 'About us' section, which will become the main page to be accessed instead the news one. All submissions must use HTML standard code and are expected to include pics, logos, links, EH/TC history, game platforms we use, maybe a few lines on usual Fleet procedures... Everything you may consider important enough to the point of motivating slightly interested people into becoming our new cadets (without boring them to suicidal levels). Please include the HTML file itself and all pics using the intended resolution on a ZIP file, then send it by e-mail to ALL members of the TIE Corps Admiralty (TCCOM, SOO and COO). And try for all your content to fit on a 750px wide table (including margins). Apart from that you should try to follow current TC site layout as much as possible, and know that your submission may be modified as necessary by site admin. (that would be the aforementioned dreaded SOO) for it to better fit current content. Nothing else to say except that we're obviously expecting top-quality submissions as befitting our great Fleet, as much as to be judged as worthy contenders for no less than a Platinum Ribbon! Please try to understand this task is of utmost important for us all, hence the quality we're asking for and our confidence in your skills to fulfil our requirements. Star Conflict's Beacon Hunt 2 Round 2. This will be a test of your skill to capture as many beacons as you can in one round with a victory. In layman's terms, in a Beacon Hunt mode game, capture the beacon as many times as you can in one round. Hammer's banner competition The ISD II Hammer needs a banner. Power up your graphic software and create something impressive including an ISD II. MAke sure it also features the Hammer's motto and/or Nickname in some way. IS-GR for first, IS-SR for second and IS-BR for third best submission, decided by myself.

HAMMER COMPETITIONS

HoP - Hammer on Patrol - ISD II Hammer wide Each Saturday in my report I will announce 1 Free mission or battle for TIE, XvT and XWA. Every pilot of the ISD II Hammer then has until the following Saturday, 08:00 GMT to forward me their bsf-mail for those missions/battles. IS-SW for highest score, IS-BW for second for each game platform each week (laserless scoring for TIE as usual). In addition to that participants accumulate points for their weekly participation. 1st receives 4 points, 2nd 3 points, 3rd 2 points and all others 1 point. Highscores gain you a bonus point (only one bonus point for the one holding the HS for the mission or the whole battle with his submission by the end of the week, not for those that might beat the actual HS during the week and get beaten again before the week ends). The points for all platforms will be counted together for the monthly rewards for this competition. So the more platforms you participate in, the higher your points. On last Saturday of each month the one with the most points will be awarded an IS-GW, second an IS-SW and third an IS-BW. In case your CMDR or MSS TAC were unable to get the bsf-procedure for your submission done in time (before Saturday 08:00 GMT) send me your pilot file(s) and I'll delay the announcement of the results for the week until all bsf-mails reached my inbox. Results will always be covered in my WSR, just like the new missions/battles for the following week. In case I received pilot files from less then 5 pilots or less then 2 different squadrons during one month, the monthly awards for this month will be lowered to IS-SW/BW for 1st/2nd. For every pilot file submited that doesn't qualify for one of the weekly medals each pilot earns himself an "activity point" ( Max. 1 point per platform per week). Each time a pilot reaches 8 activity points he'll receive an IS-BW. Each time a pilot earns himself one of the other medals given out for the HoP competition (no matter if weekly or monthly awards) the activity points counter will be reset to zero. Results for last week TIE Free #16: 1st COL Anahorn Dempsey (39,712 ll score) 2nd LCM Landon Cruise (22,034 ll score) 3rd RA Elwood the Brave (1,310 ll score) XvT Free #3: 1st COL Anahorn Dempsey (90,566) 2nd COL Dunta Polo (49,199) 3rd RA Elwood the Brave (11,285) XWA Free #4: 1st COL Anahorn Dempsey (9,950) 2nd LCM Landon Cruise (3,945) 3rd RA Elwood the Brave (280) Monthly standings - April: 1st COL Anahorn Dempsey (34 points) 2nd LC Gyssler (20 points) 3rd RA Elwood the Brave (16 points) 4th LCM Landon Cruise (10 points) 5th COL Dunta Polo (3 points) HoP activity points: RA Elwood the Brave 3 next weeks missions: TIE Free #22: MFlux #1 XvT Free #5: Kill Republic Infiltrators XWA Free #5: ISD Pursuit HPotM - Hammer's Pilot of the Month - Wing I wide For every flown SP mission from the TC mission compendium and for every LoC earned each pilot receives 1 point for the HPotM competition. The pilot with most points at the end of the month is the ISD II Hammer's Pilot of the month and receives an IS-GW. Second will receive an IS-SW and third an IS-BW. Numbers will be taken from the Killboard and MP Killboard at the TC database. current standings April 1st COL Anahorn Dempsey - 487 points 2nd LCM Landon Cruise - 233 points 3rd LCM Julon Lommax - 26 points 4th LT Simomime - 13 points 5th LC Gyssler - 11 points 6th LC Kenath Zoron - 7 points 7th MAJ John T.
