TAC REPORTS- [Salute]

Admiral Frodo March Reporting for the Emperor's Hammer Tactical Office on 06/24/05, report #191.

 Tactical Officer's Opening Statement

561 Battles and 616 Free Missions
3590 total custom missions online!

MID YEAR REPORT


First of all, if you keep track of my reports you will see that the custom missions total is still 3590 despite the fact that we've released 9 missions this week. I put XW-CD 1 out of order for the time being, until we find a proper solution to its problem, therefore we went down 7 missions.

This is my mid year report, where I report all of the accomplishements the TAC office has done over the last 6 months, why today and not next week? I leave Sunday, therefore VA Master will be fully in charge of the TAC office from the 06/26/05 to 07/06/05. The next report will be done by him, and he will handle High Scores, releases and any other problems you have. Be nice :P

So, 2005 Stats up until now for releases:

TIE

Free Missions: 8
Battles: 4
Total Missions: 25


XvT

Free Missions: 19
Battles: 13
Total Missions: 82


BoP

Free Missions: 1
Battles: 2
Total Missions: 11


XWA

Free Missions: 9
Battles: 12
Total Missions: 64


X-wing

NO X-WING RELEASES


SWGB

Free Missions: 3
Battles: 3
Total Missions: 13


JA

Levels Released: 0


GRAND TOTALs

Free Missions: 39
Battles: 34
Missions: 170

Not too bad if I do say so myself. In 2004 there were 296 releases, we already have more than half of that, but we want much more than 300 missions in 2005. Our goal is more something towards 400 missions by December 31.

As for bug correction, there are currently 3 bug reports on the compendium, all of which being worked on by some of my staff. They are all picky little bugs might I add, so there aren't any major problems with the mission compendium as it stands right now. And we've yet to break our two week promise, which is good. e-mails have still been going out for bug corrections.

As for competitions, we've had the Mission Creation incentive which was a success, the Iron Mission Creator competition which was very interesting and quite successful in addition to its Flying Challenge. Plus we had our little TAC pilot of the week competition, and our FCHG competition which started last week.

Other than that, I balanced the MoT-Bh awards, modified and uploaded the online version of the TAC manual, Mike has been improving our TAC DB, and we've upgraded our IWATS standards.

An Excellent 6 months on our side, and we're hoping for an even better 6 months for the rest of 2005. Also, I'd like to remind everybody that is participating in the FCHG competition that they can submit their submissions at any time between now and 08/30/05, as long as they make it clear that its an FCHG submission! :)

Tactical Tasks

-More missions and faster turnaround in relation to testing: 170 missions in nearly 6 months, getting better.

-More support relating to new platforms (Jedi outcast academy, SWGB): SWGB now has 2 active Tacticians and many, many testers, we are ready to deal with SWGB bugs and the number of battles on the compendium has increased drastically. If anybody would like to be JA staff, please contact me as soon as possible. Our new project will improve support for older platforms as well.

-Coordinating with training office to set up new training resources for new platforms:.
