In general the target should have a green reticale in front of it in direction its heading. If you line up your crosshairs inside the green you have a good chance of hitting. There's lag, direction you're going and direction he's going to take into account so sometimes you shoot between that green box and the actual target, sometimes above it but in general all things equal just line them up and you should hit.
It does take some getting used to. At first your aim is going to be horrid but after enough practice you'll get to point you can hit them even without targeting them and getting that green box.

I don't think the green reticule factors in inertia, so it's always a bit off-target.
Your judgement would be your best bet. The green reticule is only a ballpark of where you should be vaguely aiming.

Remember to constantly adjust your speed, too. When I started, I always went balls-to-the-wall and my accuracy was horrible. I've found with many ships that you get better rotation and control at around 2/3-3/4 max speed. In fact, while in combat, the only time you really want to be at max speed is if you're really taking a beating from the enemy and need to be a harder-to-hit target.

also make sure that ur attacking a ship at 1 tier above your skill level or below because anything above that will just outrun/outmaneuver you and kill you
missiles also help tho they can be costly over time (at least on my server 
)
