If you pick the Advanced Equipment skill then you cant use half the stuff any way due to weight. Whats the point?

You don't want to put level 6/7 stuff in all slots as you don't need it AT ALL, outfit a dunelizard (tier 1 certed, can handle about 90k mass) roughly wtih : a mark II crafted reactor (low mass and all the energy you need), a Mark IV crafted shield, two advanced blasters, lowlevelish armor (face it, if the enemy gets past your shields you are screwed anyway no matter how thick your armor is, so don't waste too much mass here), some level 6 looted engine or a crafted one if you dont have any decent looted ones (which is very unlikely unless you were blinded by the creds and sold all your loot to the chassis dealer before checking whats good). That's a usable (rough) setup that you can more or less use for the way up to ace, if you can replace some of the parts with better loot/re'ed loot, even better.

My freelance character did solo all three freelance squads with only using the trainer issued newb-scyk for the first few boxes and then the dunelizard for all the rest (and so have many, many other pilots as freelancer in general and corsec specifically are considered very easy compared to the other pilot factions).

Quite honestly, if you cannot do some the corsec missions even WITH help, then both you and your helpers skills and/or equipment need some serious work. If your and your buddies equipment is somewhat "average" or even "good", it strongly looks like you aren't exactly suited for twitch based spacecombat, nothing bad about this if it is that way.
