Exactly. The same is true of running up the flag. Early in the war, when stopping a suspect ship you would display the flag, but other than that you would only raise it to identify yourself to friendly warships. If you're going to use the flag or have lights showing I think it's vital that they be controlled by the player, or else it's going to feel odd attacking someone on the high seas with everything on display.
