I cant sign up yet... but this does sound fun! I am very interested and will sign up if time allows it
I espically like the part about having to fill cargo before docking... makes you stop like in target shooting while racing to the finish (and of course you want to hit targets close).
Two Questions:
1) As unfortunately a player can only carry three ships, what will determine the class / type of ship (selling a ship just to get one for the contest isn't really an option

).
EDIT: See my next post for a possible solution to this if ya like it
2) Any ammo type used when getting ships?
