WEEKLY HAMMER COMMODORE REPORT #7

TO: TCCOM HA Daniel Bonini FROM: Hammer COM RA Elwood the Brave DATE SUBMITED: 17th May 2014

OVERVIEW

Big news this week. We've comissioned Alpha squadron aboard the ISD II Hammer and Sin squadron aboard the ISD II Warrior. Both ships have 4 squadrons now and LCM Cruise is working on getting those free spots we've gained now filled with new recruits! LCM Landon Cruise took command over Alpha squadron and was promoted to full CM. CPT Plif took over Sin squadron. While Sin with CPT Flelm allready has its first FL, Alpha is still looking for 2 pilots to step up and take the responsibilities of a FL. If you're interested in the job, send your application to CM Landon Cruise and myself. Beside the comissoning of 2 new squadrons there is a new competition for all Hammer pilots. HSotM - Hammer Student of the Month is all about taking IWATS/IU courses. Details can be found in the competition section. MSE medals are all awarded now as it seems. Just MoC's are still missing, but I am sure RA Zosite will take care of those as soon as he returns from his emergency LoA. There's again been plenty of new recruits brought in by CM Landon Cruise. And they all allready earned their promotion to full LT. Please all give a hearty welcome to LT Neuronmoon, LT Roadkill and LT Asertym! RTF 2014 is coming down on us during the month of June. So be prepared to annihilate the ISD II Warrior! I'm sure they won't even realize what happens to them before it's over.

TC COMPETITIONS

Ace of the TC Each mission flown earns you a point for the competitions. Whoever scores most points win. Each mission only counts once. The numbers on the KillBoard at the end of the month are the numbers that are tallied, missions not yet processed will count towards the next month. 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. The numbers on the MP KillBoard at the end of the month are the numbers that are tallied. If there are three participants then IS-GW/SW/BW, if only two IS-SW/BW, etc. XWA, XvT, Star Conflict, and Freelancer-Freeworlds are the authorized platforms for this competition. *THIS* is the TIE Corps! 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 Combat Recon 2 Round 2. During Combat Recon modes, of Star Conflict, survive as the Captain or kill the Captain. This will be an accumulated number for the month. If you survive as the Captain, mouse-over the medal that says you survived as captain so we know that you did.

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 #25: 1st COL Anahorn Dempsey (44,492 ll score) 2nd LC Gyssler (40,438 ll score) 3rd COL Dunta Polo (31,542 ll score) 4th RA Elwood the Brave (3,046 ll score) XvT Free #10: 1st LC Gyssler (47,432) 2nd COL Anahorn Dempsey (45,670) 3rd COL Dunta Polo (43,758) 4th LC Nile Rosenau (34,920) 5th RA Elwood the Brave (24,520) XWA Free #10: 1st COL Anahorn Dempsey (10,050) 2nd COL Dunta Polo (9,047) 3rd LC Gyssler (8,618) 4th RA Elwood the Brave (5,279) 5th LC Nile Rosenau (4,404) Monthly standings - May: 1st COL Anahorn Dempsey (33 points) 2nd LC Gyssler (20 points) 3rd RA Elwood the Brave (14 points) 4th COL Dunta Polo(12 points) 5th MAJ John T.

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.

Clarck & LT Asertym 1 point HSotM - Hammer Student of the Month - Wing I wide Education is the basis of success. And we allready have the key for that success lying on our EH.org server, the Imperial University and Imperial Weapons and Tacticts School. So from now on every Hammer member that sucesscully takes one of the IU/IWATS courses earns himself one point for this competition. A perfect score for a course is worth an additional bonus point. The Hammer member with most points at the end of the month is declared "Hammer student of the month" for that month and is allowed to wear this titel as part of his ID-Line. Depending on participation there will be different IS given out. If there are more then 3 participants, the first 3 will earn IS-GR - IS SR - IS-BR, if there are 3 or less participants there will be only IS-SR and IS-BR up for the first 2. To make sur your courses count toward this competition you have to forward me your graduation mail to my inbox. monthly standings May: LC Nile Rosenau 8 points LT Kryysta Calthramms 4 points

FINAL WORDS

And another great and glorious week for the TC! 2 new squadrons commissioned at the same time. I don't know if that has ever happened before! At least not during the last years. Now lets get these squadrons filled with life and see what 2 four squadron ISD's can do to each other during RTF. respectfully submitted Woody COM/RA Elwood the Brave/ISD II Hammer GS/SSx4/BSx17/PCx17/ISMx20/IS-1PW-4GW-20SW-72BW-6SR-12BR/MoT-2bh/LoC-IS-CSx3-Rx1/MoC-1doc-1poc-1goc-2soc-16boc/CoLx4/CoB/OV-14E [GLDR] [Officer 1st] {IU:C/TC, C/DB, C/DIR, S, XWAC, OBELISK, SITH, UL, REP, SM2, SM3, SM4, WM, IO, BTL, AIM, 1, 2, ICQ, MS1, CBX, DW, FLA, LIN, GFX, IBX, PHP, VBS, XML, HIST, INO, INTEL, PRER, GR, MAN1, MAN2, WKS, AF, DL, JO1, RG, HAD, GHA, THR, OSS, INTC, CRD, EJE, TD, FT, MI, SPW, SN1, SMA, SN2, SN3, SN4, SU, CC, VS1, VS2, VS3, VS4, ESET, ESET, ISET, AWAK, BWAK, XWAK, YWAK, AT1, DT1, DT2, CM1, ARTY1, LSC, LST, TLC, 2, BFM, SFT, EAW, STM, XWAI, XTT, TIE, 1, 2, SFW, ARG/1, 1, 1, MCBS, XAM, XMD} MAA/DSM Elwood the Brave/DC-3/ (RS) (GCx2) (SoI) (SoP) (SE-LB) (DC) (SN) (Cr-R-Ax11-Sx7-Ex23-Tx16-Qx4) (LSP) (SI)
