:oOk so I have been playing for about a day and I am still trying to get the hang of things. The current mission I have is to kill off something like 56 klingon bird of preys. Accept that I get through a couple before I get my thrusters handed to me. Whats the trick to this mission? Also how do I get back onto the space station that I started out on above earth to do some ship mods?

Sounds like you've entered Starbase 24 Fleet Action. Your original Starbase (Starbase 01, or Earth Station) is located in the Sol System, at the top-left corner of your map.
Yeah, you're in a fleet mission. Luckily, YOU don't have to destroy all those BOPs by yourself. It's a combined score. Basically you're in a large fleet action with other captains. Enjoy it, it's fun.
Starbase one is in Sol system. You can either use your transwarp to go straight there or just fly manually.

You are in the Starbase 24 Fleet Action. Fleet actions are meant to be done by lots of players. They aren't meant to be soloed. Fleet Actions are persistent instanced with repeateble which lots of players can participate in time after time.
Youu probably have the LT 4 mission where are directed to Starbase 24. Its a missing intros a player into Fleet actions. As you get close SB 24, you'll get the conqinuation mission to beam onto SB 24 and rescue scientists. You don't have to remain to complete the Fleet action mission if you don't want to. You can always combat and finished it up after your complete the rescue mission.
as far as looking to start to upgrade, there are great threads on the forums. I'd recomend starting with the threads about the class your playing (tactical/science/engineer) Then once you look at them and get an idea of the abilities and skill set of each start to look at the individual ship class threads to see what the pro's and conns of the ship classes are and which you would like to try out. Your going to be stuck in the starter ship a little while, which isn't a bad thing. it can sort of allow you to try the tactics of each ship class in a light way. good luck
Thanks for all of the input. I made a noob mistake and hired a second engineer and then released him. Now I have to wait until I level up again to get more then 1 person for my away team

Not really. You've earned some Merit by now (it'll appear in your Inventory window above your Energy Credits). Go to Personnel on Spacedock (that first space station) and you can commission more officers for 100 merits each there.
As a Lieutenant you can have a total of 4 Bridge Officers.
It's the mission that determines the maximum number of officers you can take on your away team. Some only permit you to bring one. Most will permit you to bring 4.
If the mission allows you to take 4 bridge officers and you only have 1, you can take Security instead of bridge officers. They are not as good but better than nothing. Actually at low levels they are almost as good as bridge officers.
