Hm, maybe I just love to "overbook".
(provided the station has no more than 92 tons on offer, there is always enough room in my cargo hold. 8) )

Best if one of them overlapping contracts is for minerals, there is practically always an asteroid field somewhere near the target planet.

But also other cargo - makes route-planning much trickier. Sometimes (with a Python) I really had to draw maps, with distances and all. :D
(A Python with 7 or 8 filled passenger cabins and 3 conflicting cargo contracts, all tightly timed, all at once - gave great sense of "achievement".

But that was actually pre-Cobra 3. )

Ahh.. well then, that's different.. cargo-contracting in a Cobby MkIII is a whole 'nother ball game.. but it can be done.
Most games have some sort of paddling-pool-and-water-wings beginning to ease you in: Oolite takes the rather more Darwinian approach of heaving you straight into the ocean, often with a brick or two in your pockets for luck. ~ Disembodied
