Anyways, how do i use marines to capture it?
I can fly quicky to get some but i think i cant buy them with my elite?
and, where is the best place to build a fuel factory around or near terran space?
I think mostly all ships bigger than corvettes can carry marines. But since you're in an Elite, which can't carry marines, you'll need a TP (which can carry 10 or 5 marines can't remember which) or your own corvette which can carry 5. It doesn't sound like an option at the moment because a marine costs up to almost 20K each, plus training, costs for which mount up quickly, times 5, plus at least 500-600K for a shielded TP.
Also Elites can't have 4 5MJ shields. When you open the info menu for your ship (press Y then U) what total shielding does it say you have? An Elite can fit up to 2 25MJ shields but fits no more than 2 shields at a time.

how can i make 1 race to buy and other not to? :X
and what about my other questions?
Please i need a guide on how to use marines
Open the station's command console, then set allow other race trading to yes, and then go down to the friend/foe thing and set any race you don't want buying to foe. They won't be able to dock.
Don't know anything about freight drones. But TSs are cheap, big old trader ships that can automatically buy resources for your factories.
If you really want to know how to board a ship, it's not that complicated:
1. Buy 5 marines at a military outpost or whatever
2. Train 2 of them to 3 stars in hacking, 2 of them to 3 stars in mechanical, and the last one in... whatever. I usually make them into engis.
3. Load them into your TP/M6
4. Approach the target ship and rip his shields off
5. Give your TP/M6 the order to board the ship
6. When the marines have launched and have latched onto the hull keep the shields well below 10% while they cut through the hull
7. once they've radioed in that they're inside the ship and pressurised or whatever like that, run away and twiddle your thumbs while the marines do their thing. Either they all die or they manage to fight their way into the bridge and turn the ship computer to your control, at which point it becomes your property. Any surviving marines will then install a cargo life support system and remain in the ship.
