Have you paid attention to the intro?
"Head back to Earth"..
So do that. You'll notice something. Redish stuff, eh? And a space station! Might want to look at that..

Also, you probably missed this tiny planet, far away from our sun. There's some energy there..

Also, the "whipped by probes" thing is caused by you not completing a certain "mission" in the Sol system. Once you do that, the probes won't be there as much, though...

Later on in the game, you may come to look at the probes as less predator, and more prey.

Okay, guide to get started on UQM:

Head to earth.
Red probe gets you.
Continue towards space station.
Leave and mine in Sol for Radioactives.
Return to Space station.
Fight Illwrath. (Cake. Use cruser. One missle or two and he's done.)
[advanced tip, sell your initial cannon and upgrade your main ships thrusters and turning pods a bit now]
Go to pluto (furthest planet out. Look on furthest orbital ring for purple star looking thingy and run into it. That's it.)
Mine pluto.

To avoid spoilers I'll stop there. But that's the point when the game starts to be fun.
