Hostage missions.. that sounds fun!

My experience.

First time i try this.
I go to the system scan the nav beacon. Circle around the target planet for a while.. get the signal source. Start with the limpet stuff... get hydrogen fuel.. oh well lets try again. oh oops looks like the space police destroyed the ship.
Shame.. i leave. And the mission signal source pops up again.. a miracle the ship is back! So i turn off report crime and go on stealing cargo.. hydrogen fuel after hydrogen fuel after hydrogen fuel... something else pops up!! narcotics [mad] after using all my 32 limpets i only got 1 hostage out of the 8 i needed. So i dock at a station get more limpets are try again.. go around the target planet again to find the mission.. got 2 more hostage with 32 limpets.. time expired message pops up, mission failed i guess. Apparently they don't even care about the 3 i did save [woah] which makes no sense to me at all.
Maybe with a better hatch breaker this is a more enjoyable experience.. but this was extremely frustrating for me. But the worst part was that you just have to eject the hostages out that you did manage to rescue or maybe sell them somewhere if you can even do that. How does that even make any sense ?! oh well you didnt rescue 8 so the rest of them...

Edith you cant even eject it.. ok now what :/

your post is hard to follow:

you tried 3 times to hatchbreak the mission target:

1. only cargo, police destroyed target
2. 1 hostage after 32 breakers
3. 2 hostages after 32 breakers

time expired
did you get an extension?
normally you abandon mission than you can eject mission cargo, but if the mission is completely gone --> support ticket

what was the target ship type?
which hatchbreaker controller did you use?

only 1 limpet can attach and hack as far as i know, it releases cargo for a bit then expires
