Newbe Help with 1st Training Mission

Hi, I am a Newbe & I am stuck right at the very start in "Prologue" - (Defeat the Corvette - TCS George)
I keep shooting at the TCS George and I end up getting Court Martialed for attacking a friendly ship in
a situation of just training ? TCS George is outlined in Orange.

Question 1 - I have not been able to find a "Walkthrough / Guide " at this basic level. Could I please have
a "Spoiler" to Help me to proceed with the game?

Question 2 - Is there any way to reterieve the full expanded Directives once the audio Directives are no
longer visible on the screen?

I think one of the "F" keys will bring up the the text of all the mission dialog, maybe F3. Edit: F3, then click "Messages."

This part of the mission is a training simulation; the ship is friendly but you're being allowed to target it as a hostile (red brackets) so you can learn to engaging cap ships. Are you using missiles? You're only supposed to use your guns that have been "modified" so you can practice taking out turrets without actually damaging the ship. Edit: You don't have missiles on this mission; are you attacking before they actually start the simulation or after it's over? Are you still shooting after you've been eliminated?

Thanks jweav151
On my screen the TCS George is outlined in orange & not red.
Yes I am told my guns have been "modified" so when I shoot at the Turrets I should not be able to destroy the ship?
I do not have any missiles. I guess I had a "transient glitch" of some sort OR I kept firing when I should have stopped.
Anyway, running the mission again worked as it should.

Thanks, the F4 is the correct Key; then select "Messages"
