Report # 54
April 16, 2017
-==Intro/CMDR Rant==-
We had a busy week this week so let's go to it. First of all in the "real" world, Star Wars Celebration took place in Orlando, Florida, USA. Some highlights out of Orlando include a teaser trailer for
Episode VIII: The Last Jedi, a cinematic trailer (no gameplay footage) for
Star Wars Battlefront II, and a Season 4 trailer for
Star Wars Rebels. There was probably more news than that but those were the three things that floated past my radar.
In the more interesting world that is the TC, a number of things happened. First, a big shout-out to our TCCOM for being awarded the Medal of Honour, the highest award one can earn. Congrats, buddy!
Second, we're continuing our evaluation of new games to add to the TC Library. Right now, these games up for evaluation are:
If you own these games and are willing to donate your time to help evaluate these games for the TC Admiralty, please email them to let them know which games you own. Your help is appreciated!
Now, on to the Tale of the Tape.

Target Identification
As a STRIKE squadron, all pilot in Beta Squadron must have the ability to identify a target based on what is sometimes partial info from the Intelligence Division. Each week in the WSR, a picture of a particular target will be included in that WSR. The first member of the squadron to reply back with the correct name of the target (which can be a person, ship or location) wins an IS-BR. Overall winner for the month will get an IS-SR.
To participate, log into the
TC site, and click on the link below. The database will track how long from when you first clicked the link below to when you submitted the answer, so there won't be any advantage to whomever completes it in the closest time to the WSR being sent, but whomever completes it in the shortest amount of time correctly.
Last week's winner (and answer): LT Tobias Miller (Darth Maul)
* TIE Corps Propaganda Video: Create a video for the purposes of recruiting new blood into the TC! Video will be uploaded to COL Impulse's YouTube channel. Can have any content (gameplay, screenshots, posters, custom rendering, etc.) that you wish. Submissions should be uploaded to YouTube and the links emailed to COL Impulse. Iron Stars are up for grabs!
