We have two sets of IFF. Regular and Guard. Guard IFF is needed to enter guard systems, where most capital ships are sold and acts as a padding mechanic of sorts, or it used to until the restarts were introduced.
The player you saw most likely had a Guard IFF flashing, as all guard reps are usually hostile to fresh characters, which did not use a /restart command.
Bulldog, I highly suggest you make a trader using a neutral restart, because it maps out all of the house space systems and bases for you, allowing you to find good trade routes straight away.

Yeah, I suggest a LI Freelancer one or something similar. They should have all house space systems mapped.
