Buy a Clipper. Pirate Couriers down in rebel space. Has to be non-rebel. Rebels don't get mad and you get combat exp as well. Steal med goods. I remember this good system for selling them. I'd just hang around there capturing ships and getting goods and selling them. Eventually, work up to a better ship, fight stronger ones, and eventually capture yourself a fleet of Argosies. Then, as you earn money, buy then capture a bunch of Kestrels. Upgrade your own. Capture a rebel cruiser. Capture more. Use those to capture a Confederate cruiser. Capture more. Eventually you have a powerful fleet of Confederate ships at your disposal.

I remember my first clipper (might have been my last)... took me ages to get (normal missions are slow!). I upgraded it and literally the first time i left the planet to hunt I got mauled by a nasty corvette... (this was back before I learnt how to reload your file).

Now whenever I play it either buy a (forgotten the name) basically the cheapest largest cargoed ship and either trade or go to a Mission BBS and accept everything (then just plan the root accordingly and each time you land repeat it).
