Newcomer / Intro Newbie missions?

Before I start, I have to say that this game is a breath of fresh air (or is that Space?! :) ) Absolutely loving it!

Now, down to business. I don't know if it's me or it's part of the game dynamics but. I'm really struggling finding missions, in open play. I spent several hours speeding from one system to another. Only to find NOT eligible missions, or a mission to kill 5 pirates. I'm only in the newbie ship. I've also noticed that when I get to a station, I'm not granted permission to dock. I know you can flip over to SOLO play and dock with no issues, but it's a bit of a bind to do so.

Don't get me wrong but after 7+ hours of play I've managed to do about 4 missions (delivery type), and now I've amassed a total of 7k cr....

Now is this intentional or am I missing something?
 
Starter areas are busy. Play in solo mode and/or leave the starter areas.

Take a risk on trying the combat missions (esp. if in starter sidewinder, which is free and unlimited refills) - you'll soon learn what you can and can't take on. Trust me, a lot of the "Competent" and below AI are a LOT easier than the tutorial combat mission AIs.
 
Depends what you want to do. Trade and bulletin board trade missions are a good way to build up sufficient credits for a Hauler. With more cargo space you get more missions available to transport goods, more money, then you have enough to buy a decent ship Cobra / Viper and then you can take on the bounty missions. Its about roadmapping what you want to do.
