My progresion so far in ED has been Freagle - Adder - Eagle (horrible cockpit in the Adder) - Cobra - Asp. Getting to the Asp required trading which, after the initial "wow, that´s a lot of money in a short time", got quite tedious. To spice things up I got myself a Viper decked out for bounty hunting, but for some reason that didn´t really catch on either. Something about the combat being mostly tail chasing like any other flight sim I have played.
I had seen the videos Isinona has put up on youtube about flying with flight assist off. I don´t have a dedicated throttle and had previously tried using the keyboard as one, which didn´t work very well. However, the throttle on my TM16000M together with the base buttons on the left side could be setup to mimick a dedicated throttle.
In short; wholly sh... that was fun! Twisting, sliding, boosting, reversing, aiming - after a while it got more natural and the satisfaction of getting a kill was immense. Yes, it was frustrating in the beginning but the result was worth the 1-2 hours spent flying around in an asteroid field trying to learn how to keep the ship under control.
In short, if you are getting bored try FA-off. You´ll not regret it.
