TCCOM REPORT #40

REPORTING OFFICER: High Admiral Plif, TIE Corps Commander
DATE SUBMITTED: 12 Dec 21
ACTIVE DUTY ROSTER COUNT: 157 (+1) Including 3 NPCs

RECAP

The roster is up 1 since last time, a hard-fought net increase with recruitment and attrition on either side of that total.

I’d like to go over our expectations regarding AWOL declarations since discussions about those have been coming up more often lately. The Pilot Manual explains that a pilot is AWOL when they’ve been out of communication for at least 30 days. The manual also notes that the pilot’s commanding officer(s) should reach out to the pilot proactively. What I want to see when a pilot is recommended for an AWOL are a few dates when that pilot was emailed with the first of them being at least 30 days ago. Email, specifically, because it’s the method we use for official requests (most of the time, anyway). Discord is nice, but when we’re talking about taking someone off of the active duty roster I want to make sure we’ve tried reaching out to them though our primary communication platform. Same goes for Reserves transfers, please use email if the pilot isn’t responding over Discord or other methods.

A new volume of the TC newsletter is in progress with the submissions I received recently, more news about that when I have more to say about it ;)

TITLE HOLDERS

The Raise the Flag event each year confers three titles to recognize the top ship, squadron, and individual pilot from the competition. These are the current holders of those titles.

TIE Corps Flagship: ISDII Challenge

TCCOM's Escort Squadron: Tempest

TCCOM's Wingman: COL Phalk Sturm

TCCOM'S COMPETITIONS

There and Back Again: A COMPOST Tale is running until the end of the 29th, looking for the highest scores on TIE-TC 244: Lord of the TIEs. It’s a tough one, so there’s an IS-CW up for anyone that completes the battle with an IS-SW for beating my score and an IS-GW for placing the highest score overall.

The Trivia Grand Tour is in its seventh season. Updates are going out to the mailing list separately and also #competitions on Discord.

SP Ace of the TIE Corps is awarding the top six pilots on the SP Kill Board each month.

MP Ace of the TIE Corps is awarding the top six pilots on the Multiplayer Kill Board for all the games other than Star Wars Squadrons, which has its own similar competition.

COOP Ace of the TIE Corps is awarding the top six pilots on the Multiplayer Coop Kill Board each month.

Upcoming: TIE Corps in Battle Season Four
