A piece of advice I would offer, related to 'Feeding', is that if you're undergeared and/or aren't very skilled, then at least make the enemy work for the kill!
Instead of futilely flying straight at an enemy battlescout trying to hit it with your unmodded Light/Rapid Fire Lasers, make them waste their time chasing you. You can practice zig-zagging around, hugging asteroids, and maybe even bait them into getting lined up for a friendly gunship to take them out. And if you can keep the enemy distracted off your team's heavy hitters, or overextended, so much the better.
While you may not rack up great numbers doing this, believe me, it will be a great help to your team in a way that the scoreboard won't directly show.
