I've never been able to pull this mission off either, but I've noticed that
two of the military destroyers there are actually hijacked ships.  They still
show up as green on your radar, but they're focussing their fire on the
station.  I think you can ID them as hijacked if you get close enough.  IMO,
those are the two ships to worry about first.  Those military grade lasers do
much more damage than a Kindred ship does.
