I'm a newbie and trader, just got killed by pirates, help appreciated

Pirates that interdict you will always have a demand. Just meet that demand and be on your way.

Failing that, high wake to another star: mass lock doesn't apply.
 
Upgrade to the Reinforce Alloy to give you more Hull points so if your shield DOES go down, they have to eat through more hull then if you had the stock lightweight alloy. That will buy you more time.

Or at the very least, engineer the lightweights a bit. I do this on most of my cargo ships. Good tips though!
