Hey Aerothorn,
I suggest you load from a previous saved game if you can and try and find a better ship..that, or you could do 'missions' to get more cash....once you're out of Liberty space you're free to go anywhwere you choose...well, sort of...anyway, I went to Kusari space and got myself a better ship [a kusari light fighter, in fact, which is better in all respects than the Bretonian Heavy fighter, except that you cannot have more guns or a torp laucher [who care's anyway?....it even has more armour and can carry just as much cargo...yes the game is designed this way....oh well....
anyway, Rhineland ships are the most powerful house ships in the game...so they're quite tough to beat...
as for tactics [ie. you have 20 ships on your tail and you don't want to engage, point where you want to go, activate thrusters [tab and then cut your engines [z let go of the tab key, face backwards and shoot at the enemies..you'll still be going where you want to go, and in most cases, the guys tailing you will eventually drop out and open a distance gap....
hope this helps!
