I typically play this game for the more exploration and trading elements, but I figured why not and got into the combat. for a bit, got myself an Eagle since I am poor, but I am also quite bad. Is there any way to improve my skills in combat without making a fool of myself?

There's a training module, or you could try queuing for the Arena (good luck though). In game you could visit a Compromised Nav Beacon or any Resource Extraction Site that is not a Hazardous one (Low or blank type recommended).

Hey
I would recommend you go to low density extraction points, there with the help of the authorities, both system and federal, you can defeat some beginner pirates and have a broader sense of combat.
There is also the Elite training mode where you can learn the basics of combat.

could it work? Sure! And it will be fun, I guess
Has it flaws? Yep. A lot! And I mean a lot
Should I go full frontal, or slowly?

Reactive surface Armor;
probably the best armor available; but insane expensive...
You could do it, but it's not worth it.
Thruster; don't go clean! The game is misleading. It sound nice, but it is worthless. Always go for dirty
Frame shift drive: Shielded? OK, if you do not jump! But then a fuel scoop? If you wanna jump at all, go for increased range + mass manager.
(Or keep it, and don't jump at all, and ditch the scoop)
Life support 4A leightweight? If you wann keep your mass down, just take a 4D leightweight and don't loose your canopy ;-)
Or go safe with 4A reinforced
Same on Sensor either D-Class leightweight / long range (whatever suits you) Or 4A long range to flex out
Bi-Weave Reinforced and "fast charge" will burn your distro empty. go for "low draw" or always juggle with your pips all the time
Any other opinions?
Feel free to disagree

It is my first try for a combat Outfit
and i am greatfull for the fast answer.My tought process was , cause i am not using heatsinks , to get less heat while boosting and shooting.
Shield and hull i tried to get an even resistence close to 40+ and a faster bi shield.
I am writing your tips down and start with grinding for material
Thank you very much Commander
ps: i think i keep it xD flew long time without while trading and startet to use it this year. It comes in handy, getting some food or something to drink while flying or docking

I have a small question about some of the terms that keep popping up. I feel like I should know them. What exactly is power playing? Is your allegiance really all that important? How much lore would I need to know going into the community of this game? Also I am really confused on how Engineers work...
Probably my bad for kind of wading into a nearly 40 year old series, but in for a penny, in for a pound.
