NOOB needs combat tips to start out!!!!

Just got the game, and it looks sweet.

Started out, did the basics ‘n’ all, no probs. Figured out the punks in the tugs – hit thrust as the cinimatic finishses and they only get one shot at ya.

Delivered the package as requested and now going after the Belrano. He spots me and hails me asking questions, sounding very edgy. I start balsting when I can, but the ensuing dog fight becomes protracted and soon I can’t tell neutral from foe when I’m dodging missiles.

Any tips guys for combat for a NOOB???????

Do I need to go in slow and get close, then start blasting??

Another thing, when I do nail the Belrano and its escort, how do I dock to its cargo? Do I auto dock with it?? How long does this take and am I going to be bothered by the rozzers while I’m doin it??

A little help here guys would not go amiss. I want to get into this game big time. All that looting and camping on an L point sounds SO cool.
