Rockhopper Rally v 1.4

Your goal is to complete each leg of the rally until you reach the final coordinates. If you run low on fuel and have available credits, refuel. If you take damage due to misadventure and have available credits, repair. Suffer too much damage and you're out of the race. But don't worry! You can always start over. Lack ample credits? Dock and try your hand at a few games of Toss the Rock. Also, a helpful hint: earn enough credits and you can purchase rockhopper flight training to get up to 5 points of skill bonus to improve your chances of success in the rally. [[Let's fly.]]

#Playing Toss the Rock CURRENT CREDITS $credits In little caverns inside drifting chunks of rock in the asteroid field around Ungstir Prime, the Ungstiri mob runs a zero-grav game called "Toss the Rock", in which you pay a credit for the chance to throw a stone and see what face the light shines on after a few seconds. If you win, you can earn as much as 1,000 credits. If you lose, you can lose that much too - and, if you go into debt, you end up with a the mark of the Ungstiri mob on your head. Are you [[feeling lucky]]? [[Continue the race.|Let's fly.]]
