F9 window blank sometimes when scanning player ships?

[tansytansey]

But I'm not trying to scan their cargo... I just want to see who they are and what they are affiliated with. So maybe, if I'm understanding this correctly, when people aren't affiliated with any factions, like in the above screenshot (just a guess here, based on the fact that the player was using a starflea), nothing appears in the F9 box? Because generally, when I click on a ship that shows up in my scanner as 10K or less, F9 will show me that the player is an Outcast, or a Rogue, or whatever.

It's much like when you press F9 on a station. It doesn't tell you what the stations affiliation is (Station affiliation is only stated in an info card, not something like this, and many stations don't have info cards) it simply tells you if it is friendly, neutral or hostile.

Seems like a kind of redundant feature to anyone except the colour blind.
