I don't have particularly strong feelings about this, but I would like it if the radar display had some indication of how aggressive a ship (NPC or real player) could potentially be when you see it as it now only lights up when it is attacking you. I could imagine that ships that recently attacked another ship (talking about innocent targets here, not wanted ones) gets an orange or so marker in the display. This marker could last just a few days but it would be enough when you see several ships to give you some indication of how safe you are. Of course it wouldn't be failsafe, but that wouldn't be neccessary to me.
Suggestion: aggressive ships markers immediately visible in radar

You're effectively asking the scanner to show a ship's (or CMDR's) intentions, which really isn't realistic. Past behaviour doesn't guarantee future behaviour.
There's markers in orange, red, green and white already, so it's getting crowded. The beauty of the display is that it is relatively simple, yet informative so you can make decisions quickly.
A Kill Warrant scanner is what you need .... the bounties on the ship would give you a good indication of the danger presented, as well as the skill level of the pilot (which you would get from a normal scan).

This logic would not work for non pilot federation members, but for PF members you could consider it like a PF "most wanted" kind of thing which is transmitted to all ships in the area.
the PF must have some form of tracker on our ships as they know exactly when we destroy a ship to add to our PF rank (which is not tied down to handing in bounty vouchers and happens instantly), so it does not take a huge leap to assume they can transmit something to make them light up like an xmas tree if they want them too.
Not saying i am for or against it, however the tech and lore is already in place so would not be implausible.
