The TAC Office has been a non-stop hustle since I
took command.
HA Dempsey has completed corrections to the last of the missions she
had in queue.
My own XWA-FREE mission was pushed through 2 rounds of testing and
correcting before being released. Thanks to Dempsey, Mark Schueler,
and Jedi Eclipse for testing this quickly enough for me to get this
out by my first report.
COO Hawkins currently is dominating the battle queue with his
"X-Wing in TIE Fighter" series. The first 4 parts of this series
should be done before my next report. Currently these represent all
but 1 of the battles in the queue.
We also had a cheating scare which turned out to be the result of a
pilot failing to properly uninstall some patches which altered score
values. The pilot in question has been scolded and promised to be
more careful in the future.
Since this issue cropped up, I've been in talks with Pickled Yoda
about getting his TIE Mission Analyzer ported to work with XvT and
XWA. Once that is done, the Tactical Office will have a tool that
will make cheat detection on our core platforms the easiest it has
ever been.
With all this going on I haven't had time to get very far into the
process, but I've started rewriting the TAC Manual to drastically
reduce its size without losing important content. So far I've
condensed 3 full pages to just over 2.

209 "Historic Mission #1367" was repaired to fix bugs allowing
for ridiculously high scores (among other things). The high score
set by LC Tempest [493,444 (05/26/2014)] is no longer obtainable.
Therefore we need to set a new one. Will Tempest retain his crown or
be dethroned?
