+
* Reporting is only for matches that result in victory

*Match reports must be for matches that resulted in victory
+
* Reports must have accurate pilot and score information for the winning side.

*Match reports are restricted to report from 1 account/identity per platform. Any suspected to be dual-hating/smurfing on a platform are subject to inquiry where such will be confirmed by the COO or a COOA. Suspect submissions are to be placed on hold. After a warning, the pilot is expected to choose one account. If such is encountered again and is confirmed to be done on the same platform, the pilot’s submissions will be denied entirely for one queue cycle. Further incidents will be raised to the necessary disciplinary processes.
+
* For platforms that do not have specific requirements, qualifying pilots must have achieved 1 kill or objective

+
* Matches must be submitted no later than 72 hours from completion
−

−
[[File:COOMAN-PvP-Example-Report.png]]
 
−
 
 
−
FA [[Miles Prower]]'s example match in the PvP submission form, properly formatted
 
−
 
 
−
===Queue Processing===
 
−
Queue processing is performed by the COO or a COOA.
 
−
*The exception is that if the COO or a COOA is in the match report, another member of the office must process the match (i.e if Miles Prower (COO) and Silwar Naiilo (COOA) were reported in the match, the match report would not be visible to them, but could be processed by another COOA such as EvilGrin or Taygetta)
 
−
 
 
−
Queue processing is accessible to the COO or a COOA by accessing Combat Operations within Staff Operations on the Management section of Member Account on the TIE Corps website after successful PIN and password authentication.
 
−
 
 
−
[[File:COOMAN-Example-CombatOps.png]]
 
−
 
 
−
The match report will consist of:
 
−
*Combat Event ID (if applicable/reported)
 
−
*Submitting pilot's name and rank
 
−
*Game platform
 
−
*Submission date
 
−
*Winning team members reported by submitter
 
−
*Losing team members reported by submitter
 
−
*Kill numbers reported by submitter and calculated team totals
 
−
*Each winning pilot with fields for kills, assists, objectives and efficiency (a Star Conflict item)
 
−
 
 
−
If the match report meets the standards (both global and platform-based) that indicate the match qualifies for recognition, the processor selects the '''Approve''' bubble and proceeds in the queue.
 
−
 
 
−
If the match report does not meet the standard for recognition, the processor selects the '''Deny''' bubble and either selects an appropriate automatic response from the dropdown menu (i.e Duplicate found by the automatic duplicate detection system) or enters the reason for denial into the 'Reason for denying' text box.
 
−
*Duplicates are generally automatically flagged by the detection system. However false-negatives and false-positives may present so please scrutinise all duplication reports to ensure they are being flagged properly. Anomalies with the detection system should be reported to the [[Internet Officer]].
 
−
 
 
−
If the match report requires further clarification to make a decision, the processor selects the '''Skip''' bubble (which is set by default for all reports). '''Skipping a match report and requesting help from other COOAs and/or the COO is always considered appropriate if a report looks unclear.'''

Combat Operations Manual From the Office of the Combat Operations Officer Last update: Coldsnacks (09/3/2024)
Combat Operations Manual


The Combat Operations Officer is in charge of all multiplayer activities throughout the TIE Corps and is responsible for organising multiplayer events both within the TIE Corps and with other outside organisations and clubs. The Combat Operations Officer's primary duties are coordination of multiplayer pilots, expanding multiplayer activities and approving multiplayer-oriented awards.

From the TIE Corps Command Staff page

Combat Operations Office

The Combat Operations Office is the organisation that overall handles multiplayer activities throughout the TIE Corps. Its officers consists of the following:

  • Combat Operations Officer (COO): The Combat Operations Officer is the principal officer that is responsible for managing the Combat Operations Office, publishing reports about office activities and ensuring that assigned tasks from the EH Command Staff and TIE Corps Command Staff are completed.
  • Combat Operations Office Assistants (COOA): A Combat Operations Assistant primarily assists the COO in processing multiplayer matches that are present in the queue. They may also be assigned secondary projects and some may specialise as subject matter experts in particular platforms or operations.
    • Current Combat Operations Office Assistants are GN Elwood The Brave, COL Highlander, COL Miles Prower, LC Gytheran & FA Silwar Naiilo

Both types of officers are expected to have completed the COE/2 exam before placement.


Queues

The Combat Operations Office manages two queues which have several supported platforms:

Get The Game:

Connectivity Help:

  • GameRanger (third party application) or Direct IP
    • GameRanger may need UDP port 16000 forwarded in some configurations
    • Windows Firewall will need to permit XvT, Balance of Power (BoP) (if included) and the DirectPlay Server (dplaysvr.exe) to communicate (and GameRanger if used)
    • May require DirectPlay to be installed in Windows 7/8/10/11 ("Turn Windows features on or off" function > Legacy Components > DirectPlay)
    • Direct IP may require the following ports to be forwarded: TCP 2300-2400 + 47624, UDP 2300-2400 + 6073. Please note doing so is done at your own risk.
    • Paradoxically, works best with network settings having Internet off.

COO/COOA Processing

Queue Processing

Queue processing is performed by the COO or a COOA.

  • The exception is that if the COO or a COOA is in the match report, another member of the office must process the match (i.e if Miles Prower (COO) and Silwar Naiilo (COOA) were reported in the match, the match report would not be visible to them, but could be processed by another COOA such as EvilGrin or Taygetta)

Queue processing is accessible to the COO or a COOA by accessing Combat Operations within Staff Operations on the Management section of Member Account on the TIE Corps website after successful PIN and password authentication.

COOMAN-Example-CombatOps.png

The match report will consist of:

  • Combat Event ID (if applicable/reported)
  • Submitting pilot's name and rank
  • Game platform
  • Submission date
  • Winning team members reported by submitter
  • Losing team members reported by submitter
  • Kill numbers reported by submitter and calculated team totals
  • Each winning pilot with fields for kills, assists, objectives and efficiency (a Star Conflict item)

If the match report meets the standards (both global and platform-based) that indicate the match qualifies for recognition, the processor selects the Approve bubble and proceeds in the queue.

COOMAN-Example-QueueReport.png

An example of a match report that qualifies for recognition

If the match report does not meet the standard for recognition, the processor selects the Deny bubble and either selects an appropriate automatic response from the dropdown menu (i.e Duplicate found by the automatic duplicate detection system) or enters the reason for denial into the 'Reason for denying' text box.

  • Duplicates are generally automatically flagged by the detection system. However false-negatives and false-positives may present so please scrutinise all duplication reports to ensure they are being flagged properly. Anomalies with the detection system should be reported to the Internet Officer.

If the match report requires further clarification to make a decision, the processor selects the Skip bubble (which is set by default for all reports). Skipping a match report and requesting help from other COOAs and/or the COO is always considered appropriate if a report looks unclear.

Combat Events

Combat Events are multiplayer events tracked by the Combat Operations Office. They are added by the COO or a COOA from the Combat Operations Office Administration page.

Inter-club combat events will also be listed but may also be listed at the third-party BattleStats website. To be countered in an inter-club combat event that the EH is participating in, you must have a BattleStats account and be a member of the EH Club (Club ID: 486) in BattleStats.

Distinguished Flying Cross

Distinguished Flying Cross

Winning Combat Operations Office approved combat events makes a pilot eligible for the Distinguished Flying Cross.

Multiple DFCs can be awarded on a single combat event if more than one EH/TC member qualifies and they are all tied for 1st place (though likely a rare condition).

Overall though these conditions must be met by default

  • You must be the best EH ranking player in the combat event.
    • If there is a tie and the other requirements are met, DFCs can be awarded to all tiers.
  • You must beat a minimum of three different players on that combat event
  • You must have a win-loss ratio of at least +3 (ex. 3 wins/0 losses, 4 wins/1 loss, etc.)
  • Any exceptions to these rules must be agreed to by at least one member of the TIE Corps Command Staff or EH Command Staff.

Ratings & Awards

The Combat Operations Office also issues awards for attaining certain levels in the Rating system for PvP/Combat Ratings and PvE/Co-Op.

Upon meeting a certain rating, the pilot is recognised with the appropriate medal for that rating by the COO. These medals can be found in the TIE Corps Pilot Manual.
