radar target dots

Mar 08, 2005 Spellcast link
ok, When fighting certain players who start as green on my radar, the radar display does not update them to red when they damage me. I've noticed this a few times recently in sedina b-8. It doesnt happen all the time, and i'm not totally sure what to do to reproduce it.

Additionally when 2 people who are green to me start a duel with each other.. sometimes they both turn red to me. If they are of my nation i still cannot damage them.. they just appear as red. even after the duel has ended.

On the topic of radar dots, the coloring method needs to be changed from "standing with my birth/home nation" to "standing with local faction".

I was killed early monday morning by a Serco in Serco-guarded space. I have +990 standing with the Dominion, and believe that this Serco's loss of 900 standing points would have been avoided had he/she been unable to target me. (Reportedly the player had simply targeted the nearest red dot and fired.)

I'm with Celkan with this one. I still think we should also be able to set people as being hostile even if they haven't fired on us yet, especially if we know they're going to fire on it. I rather dislike the idea that if I'm engaged in battle, and a green dot approaches me, I find out they're hostile when I get nailed with dual sunflares.
