Any good tactics tips? I keep getting mauled by large hordes of pirates in the Zaonce system...

Get a Viper spacecraft,and nothing more than a 5mw pulse laser.... some shield are also recommended. This is what i used,when i played it a long time ago,and this is all you need.

If you have a laser turret, you can pause the game, look for the enemy, aim, fire, and unpause the game. BOOM!  :-D

I found the combat in Frontier extremely tedious. In the end I resorted to (indeed) a Panther with some beefy lasers and stuff =).
