OK! Noob question re scanner (NPC / real folks)

OK, was only on the Combat demo until last night. This morning managed to fire up the Beta 1 to prove it at least worked, and spent 4 minutes (before work) flying around. So I've only had 4 minutes flying around in an environment with other "real" people.

So noob question is, how do you identify real people vs NPCs? Is it solely the colour of them on the scanner (green for real, yellow for NPC)? And what in the case of combat where they go red? How can you tell then?

If you target them, is there anything else. eg: Do all real people being with CMDR for example?

Thanks.
