Longer range on IFF tags for friendlies

Meaning that their radar icon will come into resolution at longer distances. I figure that once you get friendly with the local government, it makes sense for their ships to sort of transmit their IFF tags to your sensors, rather than it being a passive system. This would make searching Nav Beacons, RES's and other areas for hostile targets easier, as you'll be able to tell that a particular ship is a security ship farther out than you currently can, rather than having to fly all the way out to it.

It can be frustrating flying 20km out to a faint dot in the distance, only to discover that it's yet another cop. I'm generally against making the game more ezmode, but I feel that it would make sense in-universe, as the local cops probably appreciate the help that bounty hunters give and would like to make their lives easier.
