I am new and all I know how to do is fly in my ship and walk around. I am in a faction. I got some items but I would like to know how to put them in different places on my character or in my ship. I would also like to know how to get some different items like some bacta shots. Or something like that.
To put on items just click on items when in your position interface. (click position on the right side of screen, then click items on the left side) You should see the items, if you are in the same room. Then you click stow, and select where you want to keep them.
As for getting items, you can buy them from other characters by using things like Centrepoint market (http://market.centrepointstation.com/index.php), or by buying them from a faction that makes them.
But to buy them you need money, so save your salary, and don't spend it all in one place.
Don't be afraid to ask people in your faction for help with this. That's what they're there for. :P
To add to the above, items in your inventory on the right can't necessarily be added to your person straight away. You have to be in the same room/grid before you can put them on as above.
Additionally, when putting them on, you don't have to stow them - there will be an option to put them onto various sections of your body with a drop down list underneath the item.
What if I already have some items equipped? How can I stow them on my ship or change their location on my person like my staff is on my back but how can I hold it in my hand?
If you have an item equipped and you want to switch its position or drop it, click on the item, and it'll display all of the options for it. Staves are two-handed, so if you are already carrying something in one hand you will only see the options to drop or stow it.
Your ship acts as a container if you just want to drop the items on the floor. If you want to store them in something, then yes, you'll need to buy a trunk/backpack/locker to put them into.
Ok. now I figured out how to drop and exchange hands with my items.
So where can I go to buy some more epuipment? Is there a marketplace I can fly to or something? Can anyone give me some coordinates to a place I can go?
There is Centrepoint Marketplace which is the main marketplace in SW Combine. You have to register though to be able to use it. Other alternatives are the Classifieds which you will find in the comlink section or the Auction House and Commerce section in the RPG Centre.

For instance. If I wanted to build an Ithorian herd ship. What would it take to get me started? Am I able to build a ship in the faction I am in or do I need to be in a ship building faction?
