Once you've finished the tutorial, it's a good idea to spend a bit of time exploring Tansarii Point Station and helping the people there with various quests. You'll earn both experience and credits to get yourself started. You can also learn piloting skills while you're here. For grouping experience, Gamma Station is a dungeon designed for levels 1-10 that's only a short space hop away from Tansarii Point Station.
