Missions in high intensity combat zones

Hi guys, new to the game, a few days in space so far. Trying make some sense of all the new stuff :)

I have a question about the missions for bounty hunting.

I received a mission to hunt 4 Eranin combat ships. And i found a high intensity site just outside Eranin 2 i think.

Warped in and managed to shoot down one ship before i had like 3 or 4 after me, so i had to flee, down to 38% hull.

I though: Fine, ill go repair and head back in there.
Once i got back to the intensity zone i had to kill 4 NEW ships, it had resetted when i left the intensity zone???

I have a Viper ship as it is better for combat than Cobra (what ive read so far ) The thing is, is it supposed to be like this? Killing 4 ships at the same run, its really really, dangerous once you start firing, you get 2, 3 or 4 ships on you after a while. I did manage to complete the mission but got out with 40% hull or something. Luckily i got mostly Sidewinders after me, if i had another Viper or Cobra on my tail i would probably have lost, it ended up being not worth the mission reward with 2 repairs/refuel and reloading weapons.

Im aware that it is beta, and will be tweaked and so on until release, but am i doing it right? Is there a way to do it easier? Is there a way to get one or max 2 ships at the time, not 3 or 4, there is no way to survive that and kill 4 ships before they get the better of you, if you get Cobra or Viper on you.
 
Also i tried a Hunt Pirate mission, i got 3 systems to hunt in, and 3 ships to kill, i got one towards my mission on my first kill, but i have killed 5 ships after that, all have been pirates, i think, they interdicted me and started shooting, but they will NOT count towards my killcount for the mission, tried in 2 different systems.

Is it a bug or what do i do wrong?

And AGAIN it resetted the killcount when i docked for repairs....

Best thing to do for this is head to Eranin 2 > Federal Distress scenario (get close within Km to Earanin 2 and it should show up).

Try to pick off ships at the edge of the combat zone, if you go for one in the centre its buddies may decided to help out and even in a Viper if you have 3-5 of them attacking you, you will be in a world of hurt.

You shouldn't lose your combat vouchers when you dock, only if your ship is destroyed. If you keep losing them when you dock I'd ticket it, as something isn't right there. If you've still got your vouchers (on left panel, missions) then once you have 4 just dock and use bulletin board and you should be able to complete the mission.

ETA: If you are not losing your vouchers, but it is resetting the kill count, just ticket it.
