Steps #5 and #7 distinguish anyone you can legally attack from war targets, since allies can sometimes appear as low security status/criminals/suspects (formerly outlaws). With the above settings, orange flashy, yellow flashy and the traditional red flashy are shootable targets - you won’t get CONCORDed if you fire upon them. | Steps #5 and #7 distinguish anyone you can legally attack from war targets, since allies can sometimes appear as low security status/criminals/suspects (formerly outlaws).

War targets, those in an engagement with you, those with security status below -5, criminals and suspects are the only types of players you can attack in high sec space. The above settings will remove the background from everything except the most important targets, allowing you to instantly see who to attack. | War targets, those in an engagement with you, those with security status below -5, criminals and suspects are the only types of players you can attack in high sec space.

Remember that the Uni may set the standing of an alliance or corporation to +5 or more, in which case a blue background will appear on a target even if it is flashy. In these cases the target should NOT be fired at (blue trumps flashy). | |||
It is important to set backgrounds in the same order as colortags in case you decide to check them to make them more visible on the overview. This can be very helpful in wormholes to make it easier to see neutrals warping into your grid. | It is important to set backgrounds in the same order as colortags in case you decide to check them to make them more visible on the overview.
