What is up with Cmdr's and their status is unknown

Around nav beacons I see a lot of npc's whose status is unknown rather than wanted or clean.

What is this and are they legal for a clean commander to shoot down?
 
Your scanner just needed more time to resolve status. Keep your nose pointed at them though because in the future we've abandoned all rotating 360 degree sweeping technology in favor of the more time consuming approach.

Tradeoffs man, tradeoffs. The space shuttle ran on 1970s computer technology.
 
I target them and get the unknown, how do I scan for a few more seconds?

I have a 1E basic discovery scanner, is there a default keyboard key to activate this? I do not see a key in the manual to activate this.

Make sure you select them as well and if your going after them regularly, get yourself a kill warrant scanner and scan them with that until it completes. Even with a Kill warrant scanner don't attack them unless they attack you first, if they are not showing wanted in the system your are both in at the time.

You need to put it in a fire group -- but be aware that it's for scanning astronomical bodies, not ships ... different mechanism.
