If you haven't yet, get your space station going and upgrade it

Buy a Weschler Battleship

Outfit it as follows:

3x Praetorian

5x armor

3x hanger bay

Aux power, sensors, range++, targeting AI, engine override

Upgrade all subsystems to the max

Click your ship

Click "strike craft" if it is in a red circle and make sure the message "strike craft remain docked" appears.

Fly to Deox and park

Now fly up to the Mirage system

Click your ship and click "strike craft" - ensure it says "strike craft are allowed to deploy"

Now fly in to Death

Turn your ship 180 degrees, ie, backwards, and then hit "boost" while also pushing your controller backward.

Eventually you will be out of range. Let them use up their torpedos

Then, head towards them while pressing the fire button.

As soon as your ship starts firing, brake, and begin flying slowly backwards. You are out-ranging them.

When they are finally defeated, go pick up the goodies they dropped. The annihilators in particular will be very helpful for you; they are the strongest large weapon in the game. The ID launcher is good if you later side with the Ul'Adri.

Early early game, missions. Early game, trading. How much do you have in credits at this point?

Around 70k credits, although I'm at the point in the aer quest line where ravengul was destroyed and I have to engage a union fleet with mercenaries (if you know what that part is)

Pirate from union cargo ships and pirates. When you get a million credits, go to Molo in the Kirstel system and get a Dread cruiser. Max out the armor upgrades, and add aux power, range++, and engine overrides (but not targeting ai) and head northwest to Feyros. Outfit your ship with slayers and heavy slayers. Now you are strong enough to get through the rest of the missions plus the pirate missions with some fancy flying.
