Key to hosting any server is a good working understanding of the AH Arena settings.
In your case all you really need is to make sure killshooter is off.
Best way to learn it is IMO just spend some time in there tinkering.

Your most often used variables are going to be
time, wind, fuel burn, ammo load, killshooter, protect objects (lets you damage your own hangers, ships, etc)
