Thanks for the post, Guilero. I have all the things you noted, even the missle launcher with missles loaded in! LOL 
But I just cant seem to kill anything. It is to the point where I am wondering if I could even kill a space Gnat or a Space smurf! Do you use a joystick? I mapped a button for "firing ordinance" which I assume to be the correct association to fire protons.

you said you haven't killed anything? Wouldn't that make you a novice pilot? Novice pilot isn't certified to use missles, you get it from x1xx.. +65 or so to missle launching skill.

Ok, thats what I thought about the protons. So the next issue becomes what to use as the most effective weapons at the Novice Level for Privateer?

Ok, so I join my little RSF privateer group and pull my first mission with the plane they give me. The mission times out and I get nada. So I write a post, and some awesome peers of our guide through how to build my own Scyk fighter level 1, remember... this is my first mission. So I hunt hight and low, find all the parts based on the ratios I was given, andassmeble my new enhanced "Noobcraft 1000 Scyk", as the post told me to do. It helped performance, but I still get my butt kicked by the fighters that spawn. In fact, I have yet to kill a single thing? I am at a total loss as to why?
*What is the best weapon system to equip for my very first mission?
*My protons wont fire, is that because I have to get cert'd to use them?
*How can I grind XP so I can at least get a decent craft?
HELP! What nooby things am I doing wrong where I cant even get past the first mission?
Thanks!

Proton is a missile launcher to my knowledge?? (can be wrong tho) but if it is...you need to load them with missiles!
Second if you add a canon ...you must not forget to load a capacitor in your ship too! You won't be the first one ....as I forgot it too one time 
lol!! Getting ambushed by Tier3 crafts and then notice you forgot the Capacitor is fatal I can tell you haha
lol!! Getting ambushed by Tier3 crafts and then notice you forgot the Capacitor is fatal I can tell you hahaThe Capacitor feeds your gun! So without Capacitor you cannot fire your gun!
The best gun to start with is a Blaster Cannon as it has an overall fair damage on shields and armor! 
so talk to a nice Shipwright and ask him to make a Level1 Capacitor and Level1 Blaster Cannon for ya! Its not that expensive!
(Might you be lucky to play on the Eclipse server...then you can sent me an email and Im happy to give it to you as I have some spare parts left )
)I hope I helped you out a bit! Good luck!
And don't forget that Privateer is the hardest faction to start with! Pain in the ass ...as the starterships are the most crappy ones compared to the Rebel and Imp Faction starterships!
