This bug has occurred multiple times in several different systems for me and does not feel like the game is intended.
1. In zone A pick up a quest to kill pirates in zone B or C
2. Go to zone B and enter Unidentified Signals
3. Kill 2/4 pirates in the Signal
4. Exit Signal and enter a new Unidentified Signal with a single ship that updates my quest with 'Abandon Your Attempt to Kill Pirate'
At which point my quest resets entirely and I no longer receive credit for the first 2 pirates I had killed in the previous signal. This happens not only with the pirate quest but the one to kill traders in specific systems as well.
Is a bit frustrating getting 5/6 and having the entire thing reset because I got unlucky to get that single ship (will update with the name of the ship when I see it next)
