Just an idea for moving forward, (don't take my money away!) how about one person wins the contract, most likely the most suitable, and he negotiates how much he will pay the other players if they want to help. 
It's just a bit unfair that I get as much but didn't do or risk as much.
I know you did mention bidding earlier. 
This could add an interesting dynamic.

Also I owe 5% of 3000mc to Nought for transporting my fighter so throw 150mc of mine her way.

Otherwise you are doing a great job and I am thoroughly enjoying this!
:) please don't let it end any time soon!
