Tactical Office Poll #2
    
Week ago I've asked you what kind of activity/thing you would like to see more from my office. Here are
results of this poll:
- More battles and missions - 8 votes
- More competitions - 6 votes
- More gaming platforms - 4 votes
- More subgroup battles - 4 votes
- Plotlines compendium - 2 votes
- Tutorials database - 3 votes
New patches
    
Yes! We have a lot of new patches released by SCO. A lot stuff for XvT, BoP will follow soon. We have TIE
Experimental M/1 or Corelian Gunship. I'm going to personally use some of them
Subgroup battles and JK compendium
    
Expanding missions compendium is one of my core duties. New TIE/XvT/BoP and XWA missions come every week and
we have more and more of them. But I think it's time to give more missions to other SGs, not only Tie Corps.
I have few games in mind. First we could add JK used by DB and HF. Then I am also thinking about Star Wars
Conversions or Star Trek Armada. Screenshots can be found
here. They look outstanding and since I have Armada myself I am going to test it, and see if I can find
any mission editors or pilot file viewers. Since it's not flight sim, it won't be used by Tie Corps, but other
SGs may benefit from it.
    
Another game is Homeworld Cataclysm. I've seen great SW conversion of this game. Another game for Subgroups.
    
And if SCO will ever finish his AGI game, we will be able to add this to mission compendium. So it's worth
trying, cause our Mission Compendium will be multi-platform, not only flight sims oriented.
TCC:XvT back to action
    
Yes! TCC:XvT is back to action after solving his computer problems. You can already see few battles relesed. More
will follow very soon. Of course don't forget about sending your battles to me. We need to hit 3K! That's our goal
for now. :)
TAC3K countdown!
     We are closing to TAC2,8k, so keep sending you battles! We need only 268 to reach TAC3K! Good work Tactical Staff, keep it up!
EH Poland Meeting III
    
Yes, it's February now, and it's time to start thinking about EH Poland Meeting III. It's great chance to
meet EH pilots, have some fun, drink beer and have some MP matches :) Place is great, located 30km south from
city of Bialystok (200km east from polish capital city of warsaw). We have swimming pool, it's inside the woods
and it looks great. You don't believe it? Check out pictures from last two meetings. They are in EH Image
Archive.
    
I hope Ender and Tarkin will arrive as promised ;) And also I heard that Gutt is going to join us. So this will
be great meeting. Remember: July 2003 :) Cya there.
New battles and missions
    
I've released some XWA stuff and some XvT. One TIE Free missions. Soon I should give you more. Go and check
first BoP-DB battle :)
Testers fired
    
I've removed few people from Tactical roster today, and I won't hesitate to remove more. I won't tolerate slacking
and laziness in my office. Go and become lazy somewhere else. If you cannot test 1 battle per week, then you are
in danger. If you cannot test 1 battle in 2 weeks, then you are fired. Plain and simple
    
I don't want battles to sit in database longer than 2 months, so forget about being lazy. You can earn Silver
Star here.
TAC Webpage
    
Thanks to great work of Captain Drako, we have Tactical Office webpage running at
http://www.emperorshammer.net/tac/newpage. I am working on some scripts while CPT Drako is working on graphics.
I am going to buy domain and account for Tactical use. It will prolly happen in April, so stay tuned for more news.
Tactical Office Person of the Week:
     This week I've selected Abel Malik, as Person of the Week. As recommended by my CA:
         I would like to nominate TCS Abel Malik for PotW. He has completed 4 assignments I gave him in record time these past weekdays and is probably ready to do more. His reports are also clear, concise and informative.
     Great job Malik. You have earned 1 point. I remind all TCCs to send their PotW recomendations. So current standings look as follows:
- Hunter - 1
- Abel Malik - 1

Cheating cases:
    
Some investigations have been finished. CPT Mikkel Filla has his medal removed due to BSF error. LT Kay Lyons has
been gives some time to FW his move to Tactical Office. Failure to do so will result in sending evidence to HCI
    
I am also going to watch Sovereign Squadron League in order to prevent cheating, so if you think you can cheat there
then you are wrong. All major EH competitions will be observed by TAC, so you can forget about cheating.
Final word:
    
My office is always open, and you can find me on IRC. Don't hesitate to ask or mail me. Visit Tactical channel
#tac and ask question there. Cya next week
