I've never before played UQM or SCII and I'm having trouble in the very beginning of the game...once I find Earth, get threatened, I decided to run away to some random planetary system nearby. I get attacked by the weird drone things and then die...it is so tough to move the ship around to fight them since they are so much faster. Are all fights like that? 
Also, its really tough to understand what I need to do. I mean, I know i need to get to Earth, but once i get yelled at, then what?

Thanks guys...This games a little tricky to figure out, but it is still very very good for any game, and when I remember its from 1992 I realize how much better it must have been! :-)
So I am not supposed to be able to fight the encounter in deep space?

Remember, you're on a mission to help Earth with fighting the Ur-Quan. When you find that the Earth is covered in a red shield, and that a drone approaches you which originates from the aliens you're on a mission to fight against, ofcourse you'll NOT run away and instead investigate the Earth and the Station orbiting around it.
From there, the game should pretty much give you hints about what to do..

A little more tenacity may help. Remember, you're limping into Sol with a barely functional starship and minimal fuel, and space is full of nasty stuff.
I get attacked by the weird drone things and then die...it is so tough to move the ship around to fight them since they are so much faster. Are all fights like that?
In any case, it's not impossible to take the Probes out, but it would help to be better prepared. The fact that you are immediately attacked by ridiculous amounts of fast-moving and hard-to-destroy Probes at the start of the game should tell you something about your chosen plan of action.
Also, its really tough to understand what I need to do. I mean, I know i need to get to Earth, but once i get yelled at, then what?
Some exploration of Earth and its near vicinity, in order to determine what happened to Earth in the Ur-Quan war, is in order. After all, the drone said it was going away to get help, so you should have time to see if there's anyone around to help you before the Ur-Quan armada arrives on your doorstep and proceeds to enslave and/or annihilate you.

I don't think you're that far in the game yet. I can tell you, that happens in the very end of the game. Now, you should just explore the space and listen to and talk to races there.
HINT: you want to visit Alpha Centauri soon.
