Allegiances during faction missions make no sense :S

Take a mission from a hostile faction (Navy) in order to improve relations.

Mission is to go kill some Guild 'ace' + buddies.

-jump to nav point
-Start Killing guild
-Hostile Navy jump in to attack me; without damaging relations I cannot retaliate?!
-MORE Hostile Navy jump in.
-EVEN MORE Hostile Navy jump in.
-In the end I'm trying to pick off a couple of hostile guild ships in amongst a swarm of more than 30 Navy ships?! (+4 capital ships)
-One friendly guild ship jumps in.... and targets the hostile guild ships 0_o

So in this fur ball there are:

Me on a Navy mission attacking Hostile Guild
Hostile Guild attacking me
Hostile Navy attacking me
Friendly Guild attacking Hostile Guild.
0_o

How can you ever improve relations with a hostile faction through doing missions when you're constantly under attack by said faction throughout every mission you are trying to do for them?!

You want to get on the good side of a hostile Navy? Do them a favor ... take out the Guild or Rebels. Did it once? Big deal. Keep at it and just maybe ....

******************SPOILER ALERT***************************
A tip: Do the missions from a Station in the System you are trying to improve your relations that is in the middle of a Sector by its self away from planets or othe r objects with at least 2 empty sectors in between any sector that has non player objects in that system. In multiplayer it is best to use player built stations. Then you have only to deal with the factions you need to destroy!
