R (2009-03-23 21:21:03) [United Kingdom] [Rashkir (male)] [Union] Thaliana: MONSTER HUNT HAS BEGUN

10 minutes later already:

R (2009-03-23 21:32:01) [Germany] [Keldon (male)] [Union] Zaxu Rotax: ok, 10 SM's, 4 Bio thingies down...

Being first might become expensive

R (2009-03-23 21:36:32) [Germany] [Keldon (male)] [Union] Zaxu Rotax: this contest may cost me 2.6mil in candy...

Some monsters might be hard to get:

R (2009-03-23 22:25:48) [Germany] [Keldon (male)] [Union] Zaxu Rotax: 5 A- space worm to go now...
R (2009-03-23 22:27:01) [United Kingdom] [Rashkir (male)] [Union] Thaliana: And more contendors enter the race.....
R (2009-03-23 22:31:18) [Germany] [Keldon (male)] [Union] Zaxu Rotax: the clams will be hardest to find, they are a lot more rare...
R (2009-03-23 22:32:38) [Sweden] [Rashkir (male)] [Union] Superlars: Space Clams killed: 3 <- in my entire career!
R (2009-03-23 22:34:34) [Germany] [Keldon (male)] [Union] Zaxu Rotax: 5 so far in my time here

does padre allowed to participate too? I have 2 BSAs on board, and I can mount many fleets

All ships are allowed to join the hunt, from traders to fighters (one of the reasons why Thalania choose not to include monsters requiring massive skills/firepower).

Happy hunting!
