Demo difficulty (or Do I just suck?)

[acepaint]

First do what PaladinX says and raise some cash to improve armor,shields,weapons etc. Then what I do is find out where the ship that you have to escourt is and find the pirates closest to it and try and lead them away and keep them busy until the the escourt mission is over.Works most of the time but you have to watch the ship you are escourting otherwise he may fly into another group of pirates.
