The issue being how much renown you lose by sinking a "neutral" ship.
The only way to be sure is to get close enough to see if they start zig-zagging. If they do, then they are a valid target. If not, then they truly are neutral.
I think it adds to the atmosphere to not be 100% certain to the point that you let a "neutral" go by when it might be considered a valid target (or likewise, sinking targets that end up costing you renown in-game).
