Line 91:

* To get initial aggro from an NPC, you don't have to actually hit it. Lock the NPC and fire a shot. It might take some time for it to respond to your aggression but the NPC will come to you.

* Train up salvaging as soon as possible -- salvage can double your mission profit, and a team running high-level missions with a dedicated salvager can be much more profitable and safe than a solo missioner.

* Remember courier missions: you can work up your standing just fine without shooting anything!

* Remember courier and mining missions: you can work up your standing just fine without shooting anything!

* Destroy small ships at range first, they can generally dish out damage but can't take it. NPC battlecruisers and destroyers in particular deal large amounts of damage for their size and can't take very much. Battleships, however, absorb a lot of damage, and deal damage that can be avoided more easily with speed.

* If your tank is being broken in a mission, especially if you're using undersized ships for the mission, move. Even if your battlecruiser doesn't move fast, moving makes it that much harder for the 10 battleships orbiting to hit you, and can sometimes pull your tank back up.
