So I took a bunch of these missions last night in Riedquat, to kill Bounty Hunters, Traders, Pirates and System Authority vessels. Couple of questions:-
1. Can you actually get System Authority Vessels in an anarchy system?
2. How do you actually differentiate between the other types of ships?
I spent a good hour at the nav beacon shooting up wanted ships, non wanted ships, ships that came and scanned me and so on, and none of the counters in the missions decreased. I also tried interdicting traders and lakons, and killed them, but again none of the counters moved. I also got interdicted a bunch of times, and killed the (I assume pirate) that interdicted me, but again, no counters moved. They did the usual "What are you carrying" message etc, then I opened up and wasted them.
The mission to kill pirates was an alternative to the bounty hunters mission after meeting an NPC at a USS etc, not sure if that makes a difference.
Bit puzzled that I'm missing something.
