Newcomer / Intro Bounty hunting affecting factions?

I am "allied" to Faction A and "hostile" to Faction B. I presume that happened because I do Faction A missions and bounty hunt mostly Faction B.

Will I remain "hostile" to Faction B by continuing this trend?

I'm not complaining. It makes sense. I like being loyal to a faction. Good for role-playing.

But I noticed that (the controlling) Faction A police shoot NPC Faction A "wanted" in Resource Zones. Does this undermine the influence of Faction A? Is that a possible bug or is it a bit of contradictory design?

I can see why Faction A police would shoot me if I grief them or any other Faction As, and why I would get a "wanted" tag. Why, logically, would the Faction A police shoot their own without them griefing? Does this undermine the controlling faction's standing?

I've been bounty-hunting a lot in one particular sector, and so without meaning to I've ended up hostile to a local faction and blown up perhaps > 1 billion credits value of ships belonging to them (sorry Silver Brothers!).

At this stage, there are more and more faction Wings coming after me. It actually makes things a lot more interesting and challenging, when you're fighting someone and suddenly an Anaconda and a Cobra start firing on you as well. Sooner or later I may have to move on though. Challenging is good, dying isn't!
