Welcome to the forums.
I suggest you take in some tutorials on bookmarks and how to avoid gankers. It takes some study but I have managed to gather ores and gases without too much hassle. I assume you must be hauling planetary industry or ice mining maybe? Those are beyond my alpha experience, but since there is a random chance of your cargo dropping, suicide gankers will take a chance.
Once your ship makes it within the station’s protection you are home safe. Make bookmarks to warp to the station and not the station’s unprotected perimeter. Never use auto pathing and auto pilot. Read up on indirect navigation to stations, as the direct path is usually mined with warp bubble and smart bombers.
Nothing and nowhere is 100% safe. I won’t tell you to fly safe. Instead I will tell you to just have fun!
