Started doing space hauling to grind faction rep. Decked out my Type-9 heavy (752 tonne capacity with shields). I have some point defence turrets for missiles but no mounted hard point weapons (can’t dog fight in this tub anyway).

I play in a private instance so pvp isn’t an issue but I’m getting jumped by NPCs.

What I’ve tried: submitting to the interdiction to let my FSD cool faster and I made sure that crimes against me are reported.

I still get carved up bad.

I’ve read about “high wake” to avoid their gravity influence but I’m not sure what that means exactly.

Any tips or advice is welcome! I have over 1.6 billion credits so if I need to spend it’s not an issue.
