I love seeing those hollow squares, personally.
That would qualify as disaster #2.
Making all ships identify the same would simply leave victims unaware of predators CMDRs lurking about.
It's easy to tell a CMDR from NPC, even without a hollow square or CMDR tag.
Predator CMDRs would just hide at stars, scanning and watching all ships, and attacking those that are piloted by a CMDR.
Where as the CMDR jumping in, everyone would look like an NPC, and they'd be none the wiser until the interdiction started.
The hollow square is an immediate IFF signal. I know to be on guard if there's a CMDR in the system. And they can't hide from me either. Of course, they also know I'm here. But they have no element of surprise.

Well, that isn't quite the complete picture.
There are peeps out there who interdict in Sideys or Haulers for the lulz, and once the instance is established and the interdictee is busy having a laugh, they then log in Open with their multiboxed pew-pew wagons.
Past tense please Jason, your new shtick is slipping.
This thread is still going strong huh...
A nagging sense of inadequacy manifested as a desire to make other people suffer?
Personally, I wouldn't. I would stop playing as this would no longer be the game for me.If Solo / PG were removed - as many have been calling for - how would a CMDR in such a circumstance continue enjoying the game?

Wait a minute, 4 posts up, How can you log back in with a different ship?

Put a consentual pvp flag in and most combat logging would be a thing of the past.
With an alt. One can be waiting in a combat ship in the same system as the beginner ship.
How would it work though? Only instance you with other CMDRs who have the flag set? A sort of dynamic PG?
It's rather easy. Make friendly fire do zero damage or effect unless both players are flagged. It works the same as any MMO pvp flags, pvp players can't attack or damage another non-flagged player.
If this were the case in ED, I would always be in Open because I like interacting with other CMDRs on a social level while in busy systems. After being griefed a dozen times, I never go into open anymore, and the game is a rather lonely place.

What makes you think that do any good?
Let me assure you it's not! No matter how good your "shields" are, you are only human and thus making mistakes and when that happens they are exploiting it ruthlessly to take you down, and make you unfeasible.
What's necessary to know, when the other targeted or framed like this. And deal with this matters in the fashion what's necessary in the given situation.
Fake charges, framing, and persecution / harassment until you make a mistake, and thus give em reason? All of these is crime, and when you fallen in a trap what laid to you, not guilty. (if you can prove it)
However? The one do such thing are.
People's are faulty, and most of these sins well within forgiveness, unless you searching an excuse to screw them over.
If there is no case and they want to mess with someone, or he is just too good, and cannot be caught? Make one!
Or just keep hounding it, until he have enough, and simply quits from the game and than? Keep shouting CLOG. It happens even if he is not a quitter, because to put it simple? Everyone patience have it's limits, so he quits, or just go full berseker, so they can report him, for inappropriate behaviour...
IT's not about annoyance but to have a validish reason to grief and troll the other. After all? you are the bad guy, so they have the right to screw with you.
TBH, I'd rather have separate modes than any kind of "PvP flag".
The idea of being in a CG, for example, with a bunch of people who I can see and interact with but who are immune to attack seems utterly pants-on-head bonkers to me.
What happens if a PvP-immune ship collides with a regular ship?
Only the normal ship takes damage?
Gee, I don't see any possible way that could be abused. [where is it]

I'd love an Open PvE mode. I don't care about people who play in that hypothetical mode. Actually right now I'm playing in Solo because my Internet is being crap.
Point is, I don't care if someone never appears on my screen. If that's the case I don't give a damn what they do. But if they are on my screen, I'd like to be able to interact. Yes, this means combat. Sometimes I might even start it.
That won't work either
People can manipulate things for certain players to encourage them to report inappropriate behavior, and then when FD investigates, the reporter is the one that will get sanctioned

Woah Woah Woah! **Start it** ?????
You realise that starting PVP without first consulting your target for consent is griefing right?

Are you sure?
Edit;
The judge and the cop?
They are human too!
Their judgement not absolute, and unmistakable.
