Hey, first of all i want to say this is a great mod and one of the best ive downloaded so far. The only problem is that on Singleplayer on the mission where you have to save Beta 4 the enemy kills him in like a few shots and there is no way i can kill them all before they kill him 
Any solutions for this?
Thanks
Beta 4? Do you mean that burning allied ship pilot in New York between Pitssburg and Fort Bush, in the junk field?
Either way, try to equip yourself with 1 or 2 missile launchers and focus more on those npcs who're attacking him. If you attack the npc(s) who's attacking the allied pilot, it will immediately withdraw from the fight and start running or start attacking you , and of course , try to be quick.

The second half of Mission 1 is the most difficult point for many new players. The Starflier is very light, the lasers that come standard on it are too light, and you face two and a half skirmishes before you have a chance to resupply. The "half" skirmish is the initial attack on Beta 4. Sometimes you have to head toward his direction before you get his message. You can learn the direction by watching the stars.
Because of the long interval before you have a chance to resupply, I recommend against missiles. You will probably run out of them before the mission ends. Instead, replace your Justice lasers with the far more powerful Lavablade plasma guns. I believe that your only opportunity to buy them during Mission 1 is at Manhattan.
Almost immediately after you reach Beta 4, you will find yourself facing the secret Rogue base with its two weapons platforms. The weapons platforms are very powerful and have long range, so you must take them out before trying to destroy fighters. In fact, it may not be necessary to engage any fighters, even those targeting Beta 4, before you take out those weapon platforms.
In addition to your Lavablades, you will need to slide. Use the "Z" key to kill your engines, then use the thruster "Tab" key to accelerate. In engine kill mode your ship will slide, which allows you to quickly turn your guns to face in any direction while your ship continues to travel in a straight line. With a little practice, sliding will allow you to quickly circle a weapon platform while keeping your guns facing the platform most of the time.
Sliding makes it more difficult for enemies to target you, it improves your turn speed, and it improves your accuracy by allowing you to fire in any direction.
