Or hear me out, they mean nothing and you should just sink them all.
Just like the red flare means stay away and the white flare means you're friendly right? Right? LOL.
I've found a lot of success with white flares on both sides of the situation. Mixed together with people giving some space when using them and I'd say it's the highest success rate of useful info about another crew and the most effective tool for encounters.
Flags typically don't mean much but organically I'd say the good boy is probably the highest chance of getting a read on a crew, not necessarily skill as that has always and will always be all over the place but more the type of gameplay.
If I saw a good boy with a merchant emissary delivering pigs and cargo and then 20 minutes later doing a circle of death on a larger crew I'd be like "yeah, that checks out".
