Why do NPCS shoot me for no reason?

So last few days, I have noticed a repeat pattern...

I go into resource extraction point, look around for wanted ships, spot one and start shooting.... When the ships maybe around 50% hull I always get attacked by almost everyone else there ( NPCS )..

They all turn red, and start attacking me, even the police start attacking me... The thing is, I didn't shoot them on accident, I have 0 fines, 0 bounties, and my reputation is neutral across all factions... So why do 5 - 10 ships all want to kill me so bad for just shooting a wanted target???

What's even more annoying, is when they all turn red shooting me, if I dare return fire I start getting fines and bounties...

Anyone know why this would happen?? I've lost 4 ships today, and honestly its putting me off the game abit... I hope its something stupid and simple I can avoid in the future, but the fact I can't return fire and kill them is quite broken, instead I have to sit there waiting for my drive to activate very slowly and hope I make it out.

The NPCs are broken at the moment.
They tend to turn on the player even if the player didn't have bounties or fines.

Whilst its true there are some bugs at the moment with this, also remember that if you shot a ship who has 'pals' nearby they will turned red as well.

Some ships in the extraction zones fly around in packs of three or more.

Still doesn't explain why the federation police are joining forces with the ships "pals" to kill me :D

If you think it's not working as intended then raise a ticket. Although the devs do read the forums this isn't where you report bugs but where you can chat about them.

It is almost certainly down to factions. Check your target's faction under Contacts in your left UI and then check around for others in the same faction. The fine wasn't issued by their faction so they don't care about the bounty and want to retaliate for the "unwarranted murder" of their faction buddy.

System authority vessels are also faction members and seem to put that ahead of doing their jobs honestly. I have seen groups of SAVs that actually have wanted members that they conveniently ignore.
