How do various factions identify friend from foe?

Nice and simple. In a combat situation, how do you tell who's who on a hectic battlefield or over massive ranges? Is it different, depending on the scenario (eg, planetside verses interstellar?)

I'd like to hear how lots of factions perform this process, not just the bigger ones.

Thanks.

No technology should be perfect. Flaws are what make things fun and enjoyable. Making writing tools in absolutes is bad writing. The reason why it is bad writing is the fact that the writer has written him self into a corner as a result.

Since my earlier response seems to be problematic, I retract it. Please disregard it.

Also. Most Iroma vehicles create IFFs by generating spatial distortings using the topological anomalies present in their drives (which use difficult-to-control Veyrinite and tend to develop particularities as it ages and tempers to usage), which are difficult to fake and limit to copying an existing unit. Still doable, though.

This is the kind of detailing that I'm loving to find as I necromance them. It would be nice to know what these particularities are, though I doubt I'll ever get the answer.
