Federal Navy Strike Contact (Eliminate Pirates Bugged?)

So, I took a mission called "Federal Navy Strike Contract". All I need to do is kill 1 Pirate of a particular faction.

When I get to the system, there is a USS there to scan that is mission related, but there are also ships flying around in supercruise with the right faction and labeled "mission objective". So I just popped one of them out of SC and blasted them.
Thought that would have done it, but the mission wasn't able to be turned in when I returned to the mission giver.

Tried three separate targets and can't get the mission to pop.

So, I went into the USS, but there's two pythons and a cobra and a viper in there or something. I'm playing around in an IEagle because reasons, and I didn't feel up to a 4 on 1 at that moment.

I have just got back into the game recently so my combat skills are a little rusty.

Anyways, why aren't the pirates in Supercruise that are clearly labelled mission targets not working for the mission?

(its the only mission I have right now, so there's no danger of it counting for the wrong one or anything, FYI)

Cheers.

You could have picked on just the one ship in the mission objective, they are not in a wing. The other thing of supercruise targets not being valid is an old bug, I'm very surprised it's still there in chapter 4.

Had the same thing happen to me regarding the USS. Engaged anyway to see what would happen -- the target I fired on stayed to play but the others left.

No idea why the other mission targets aren't working.
