Staying alive ?
Go to a nav beacon. Follow authority ships around until they start shooting someone. Scan their target. If - and only if - the target show up as wanted, shoot them when they're nearly dead. You'll be awarded a bounty.
When you think you have enough, go back to the station and cash in the bounties under 'contacts'. Upgrade your ship.
Repeat until wealthy.

Can I become a space pirate?
YEs.... Yes you can!
Awesome I picked up a cargo mission to deliver to an outpost potati and its taking me a while to get their
you can be a space pirate,rob people/blow up their cargo doors/steal all their cargo and kill them or shoot their frame shift drives and make it so they can not leave into another system,shoot up their power plant and leave them helpless,just sitting there
There are tons of things to do. I'm fairly new myself and have chosen pretty much any kind of legal combat. Look on wikia for the many roles people have or come up with your own.
Oh you can be a pirate all right, but nasty things happen to pirates.

Of course. Just... make sure you choose your victims a bit more carefully than the NPC pirates.
And pirating is a lot of work for really low pay.
I'd start by getting as far away from the starting systems as you feel comfortable going (LHS 3447 and Eravate) simply because during the "rush hour" of the game those systems can get a little laggy and the missions there ain't the best and bounty hunting at the nav beacons can get a little competitive.
And yes you can be a space pirate! Hell there's even a powerful pirate lord you can join! Just a heads up, I will shoot you on sight if you go down that path

What's a good station for missions ?
Honestly? it varies. There are so many systems and so many stations that really the best thing is to fly around and find a system that seems to work for you and stay there for a while until that changes.
