That is strange.

But firstly have you your ships fully equiped ? like some guns best some lasers and any antimissile defence ?

After you will have repainted main ship is the best way go to Vaudille and get two hiden caches there. as at way there you will have maybe problem with pirates only in Prien. Use the stuff or sell them and try go to for another cache.

If you not get any good shileds and repair module for main ship and you have enough cash about 1 million go to Charon as there you can best stuffs for resonable price (like Kali for FTU price + 10 % markup) since at Smugglers base is markup 50 %. (In hard Kali Smugler base price is 900k, in Charon you can buy Kali for 560k). Loot some pirates to get xp to be boths pilots to be able to fly 3rd. generations ships and (as best buy for them 2 Tigers).
