Fixed weapons do more damage than gimballed which do more damage than turrets.
But gimballed can give you more time on target so may do more damage overall.
Black market trading - easiest way is
1. Take a delivery mission from one faction somewhere you don't care about - or even better - actively dislike
2. Take those goods from that delivery mission - and sell them in a black market (as they would be considered stolen good) - NOTE: this obviously means you fail the delivery mission as a consequence, and may have to pay a penalty if that was mentioned in the mission
Repeat x5.
Low risk way and simple way to do your black market trading to get access to the engineer.
Only issue is - the faction who gave you the original missions may send bounty hunters after you.

Weener101I think that's a bit out my price range at the moment for a mac
the fact that you can play elite with a 6 year old portable computer, says a couple of things

Does it count if I destroy a wanted person and pick up the illicit cargo then sell that?

Yes. Or you can pick up some stolen cargo from a ship someone else killed. Some USS have illicit cargo drops you can sell at a BM.
I found a black market the next system over from a res site and bounty hunted until someone dropped stolen cargo. I scooped one or two and jumped to the BM immediately so I didn't get too much attention from the pirates. Then I found another BM for the next time.
Also: When you go to unlock Selene Jean you will have to do space mining. I'd recommend waiting until you have 10 million or so spare cash and buying and equipping a T-6 for mining. You don' t want to mine in your Asp then go bounty hunting with your mining laser.

A good pirate will be more like a surgeon...he will remove your shield and 1 or 2 modules..
Or she.
And that's not how we do it.

You can pay off the fine in Uzumeru, or at any Interstellar Factor, which can be found in the Contacts menu of any station in a Low Security system. Interstellar Factors charge an additional 25% fee for the convenience though.
Use this chart for parsing how bounties and fines work (yes, it makes my head hurt too, I hate flow charts):
