Vardek, I am very sorry to hear of your disappointment and troubles with the Inner Core sector. However, this is by design, for this is the most hostile environment of this Freelancer Mod, the Inner Core sector of the Crossfire mod, it is controlled by very powerful and very aggressive alien races who are bent on the destruction of both Dom'Kavash and mankind.
You don't step through the GMG Hypergate in Omega-3 without your balls, your brains, alot of skill and good fortune, or stuff like this happens unfortunately. (and yes, it's happened to me on several occasions in the past too! 
)
Bottom line, IMHO going through the Inner Core solo and alone is a VERY difficult and demanding task, you are overwhelmingly outnumbered and outgunned. Only the longest playing and most experienced pilots here are able to take on the hostile Doms solo, destroy their fighters and live to come back to Weth and then the Sirius sector to talk about it.
At the very least, you should have taken a wingman with you to help you, as your chances of survival increase exponentially with another person there to help divert the attention of the hostile Doms. Any Silver Arrows personnel would be more than willing to help you out in that degree, I'm sure there are others as well who would fly with you as well. As the old saying goes, there's safety in numbers.
As Awesomeman explained, you must land at Mirtrrak Battle Station in the Weth system if you are save your progress in the Inner Core system and to respawn there if your ship is destroyed. Otherwise, you will respawn at the GMG Hypergate Station in Omega-3. Again, this a two-fold reason, one, there is nothing but hostile forces from Venn to Weth in the Inner Core sector. Two, this is to reflect the difficulty of this part of the mod, as it is the ultimate NPC challenge IMHO, however it can be overcome!
Again Vardek, I implore you to reconsider your decision as quitters never win. You will never get to explore and see the rest of the Inner Core sector if you give up now. There are many people who are willing to help you out if you let us know before you go off in the most dangerous part of the known galaxy.
At the least, you can look at my signature and see if the SAL Xeno Guide can help you out. I will fly with you next time if you want my help, I've done many Inner Core missions in my time with the Silver Arrows and in Knights of Mercy expeditions, I can take you where ever you wanna go in the Inner Core and teach you how to get you there alive and back home to Sirius. 
Yes, the Redemption, aka "The CFPD NPC blaster" is a great ship to take down NPCs, it's a very powerful, well armed (even stock), prohibitively rather expensive though and it's a rather large VHF.(i.e. it's a big target, therefore near worthless in PvP) Ask Gunny, CBass or Michael about getting one, unless the Dragon Corps already have a treaty agreement regarding them.
