Welcome aboard, Kokek. Megaera gives some good advice. Get a feel for the game and please, READ THE RULES. There are plenty of groups looking for good people.

Yea im taking it slowly... mining and trading for start... you got amy tips on how to avoid being constantly pirated? ITs like im a magnet for pirates lately.

Pirates are part of game,especialy in most active sectors.
You can only choose to be in less active sectors to not encounter them all the time.
Last time i played, Galia was preaty Pirates free.
Also,know your map and space where where you trade real good, think like smuggler and pirate at same time:
"If i am Pirate, where wuld i wait and where wuld be best place to pirate me?"
"Hmm,what wuld be best rute to avoid that nasty choke point,where cops or pirates probably wait me?"
It is a game or freedom to do things any way you imagine it.
Also, Pirates are players to,they can be reasonabe, they can be talk to,you can haggle with them,some of them like that if you do good Role play of trader in distres, and sometimes is is more effective to pay them and finish your run then quickly go to another,instead to find your way araund and waste time.
Most pirates ,when you pay them once, will just let you go to pass few more times trough their turf for free.
