TIE Corps Command Report
Weekly Report #85 – Submission date: October 26th 2014
Introduction

Greetings,

TAC Dempsey continues to assist the TC with database updates. She’s also looking into what must be done to add new platforms to our accepted MP ones, specifically to add Star Citizen and The Old Republic Galactic Starfighter!

The TAC has also released a brand new X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter battle, XvT-TC 144 – The Karana Initiative: The Raptor’s Secret, which is the latest battle for the Karana series. Well done, HA Dempsey, I hope I am able to try it very soon.

One of our brightest new pilots, LT Hellionexus, managed to get his promotion to Lieutenant Commander earlier in the week. It’s always a good thing to see the newest members climbing up the ranks, as it usually means that they are enjoying themselves and taking an interest in the club for the long run. I really hope that is the case here, and that he is followed by many others.

Another promotion was to the rank of full Lieutenant for SL Spiffy the Chicken, who joined us last week. Well done, LT Spiffy, I hope you follow the steps of LCM Hellionexus in the next few months. Keep up the good work!

This is turning out to be a very welcome tradition, but, once again, we have new pilots join our ranks, this time in Beta Squadron. SL Think_Fire and SL Legion arrived from the Daedalus, recruited by LCM Hellionexus and MAJ Landon Cruise, respectively, who were awarded Medals of Instruction, so well done to both! And SL Fire has already earned his promotion to full Lieutenant! Welcome to the fleet, LT Think_Fire and SL Legion!

Sad news of the week was the transfer of LT Zephon, from Kappa Squadron, to the reserves. I really hope he manages to get back as soon as possible, but real life can be quite demanding sometimes for all of us.

Description: The competition will be played over 5 rounds. Each player who signs up will be paired with another player, and they will play the 5 rounds against each other. Because of this structure, you sign up for the whole 5 rounds. No dropping out! Players who do drop out forfeit all claims to any prizes they may have already claimed.

Failure to complete one hole will result in a penalty of 3 times your opponent's score on the hole.

Failure to complete two holes will result in disqualification and forfeiture of any medals already claimed.

Each round the players will be assigned a TIE Free Mission to fly. The objective is score as few points as possible. The lowest score wins!

The scoring for missions will be as follows:

Mission Score + Lasers Fired x 2 + Warheads Fired x 50 - Laser Hits x 3 - Warhead Hits x 50

Each pair of competitors will be assigned one mission a week, for 5 weeks starting on October 11th 2014.

Each week, the one who scored lowest in his pair will win an IS-BW.

The lowest overall score for each mission (hole) will be awarded an IS-SW. The lowest overall score, which will be all 5 mission scores added together will win the IS-GW. Runner up will get the IS-SW.

Once the five rounds are done, the overall winner will be given the chance to fly an additional hole against the Grand Champion. If the winner defeats the Grand Champion, he will be awarded the coveted IS-PW.

The current Grand Champion is HA Frodo March.

Conclusion

I believe we’ve seen some interesting developments lately, as we are trying to make the changes that were once dependent on the SOO. Although I still hope to see VA Zósite return to us very quickly, I can’t thank enough HA Dempsey for her assistance.

Also, note that all ideas that are released through our mailing list and have been discussed will be considered for implementation in due time. But please bear with me, because we really have a lot to work on, and a list of priorities to attend.

Enjoy your week!
