Green radar blips

Alliance and Empire are friendly to me and some stations are too.. Federation will also be friendly soon.

This has caused many of the radar blips to be green, nice, useful, but I do wonder how I know this before I've scanned them to see who is flying the ships.

I suppose ships give out a certain signature depending on what their faction is.

Faction IFF I guess, but you still can't see their faction in the contacts tab. Once you're allied you don't even need to scan them to see who they are.

This solves the apparently random attacks by police problem. Don't fire on green targets even if they are locally wanted, and even if the police are kicking the crap out of them themselves, and you'll be left alone.
