In one phrase: Have fun.

Things you should know if you don't already:

0. Read the rules.

1. Disco is a RP server. That means getting the "best" ship with the "best" code-equipment will do you no good if you don't come up with who your character is. You'll end up feeling cast away from the community as a whole.

2. If you don't know what RP (Role-Play) is, try googling it for a bit. Basically is playing a role in a play that has no script. You come up with a character and decide what are his goals and ideals and play his role according to them. In a simple exemple I could be a Bretonian Police Officer who has a bad attitude but takes his duty very seriously. On game I'd be seen hunting down pirates and pestering Traders/Smugglers to be sure they are not carrying something they aren't allowed to.

3. About deciding who your character will be: There are lot's of ways of doing this. Most involve reading through the forums and the wiki, where there's not much I can do for you. Other than that, a tip: I see you have made a powertrader, and by powertrader I mean a character that has no purpose other than make money. Try turning him into a "real" character to feel how role playing is. Take your time to make his story - it doesn't need to be big, it just has to give you and other players an idea of who he is - and his personality. Is he an explorer who left his home planet a long time ago and misses it deep inside? Is he a cold-blooded pirate with nothing on his chest but a sack of gold? An so on...

4. Set up his equipment according to number 3. It's wiser to go with guns/ships that match his style, however if you don't, you better come up with explanations for it. If he's a Freelancer, he should be using a Ship of the Civilian type, etc.

5. Above all have fun. That's easier said than done, I know, but the best way to do this is by socializing. Don't restrain yourself. Talk with other players. Money is not everything. Pvping is not everything. And remember one thing: Although your character may face enemies on game, out of it it's a whole another story. We're all players. We're all humans. We'll make mistakes and so will you. It's up to you to befriend us all and recognize them, or decide to shut the door and keep by yourself.

Whatever you chose: Welcome to discovery. =]
