Andrew's Note- Just a small thing that might help.
You do not have to do the missions in this order. It's just the way I
did it.

I don't find the Stun Missile a lot of help at this point so if you want
to then sell them and get a 2nd laser.
By the 2nd mission you should have the cr to buy a Recharge Booter. YOU
NEED IT!! After that save your money for your next ship.

Kill the Fleetship 1st. Your shields will hold if you have the Recharge
Booter. It will take you a minute or two at the most. Then just kill the

jumpgate.

Andrew's Note-
The more kills you have the better Rank/Rating you have.

You don't have to follow the Rebel Hauler all the way just go for the
Insult.

And if you can, kill the Injury. (I know you can I do it every time)
