After adding the required entry (M33B=Medium Merchant 33) in englishnames.cfg they now display correctly in game.

If I remember rightly IABL says in his instructions to do that for all his ships.

As to the rest, I don't see the point for the whole thing. Neutrals are neutrals, and shouldn't be attacked anyway. If an enemy ship was disguised as a neutral, and (as you say) they didn't acknowledge its existence, then the logical extension for me would be that you don't get any credit at all, since it doesn't exist.

I think you're overcomplicating this.

I also think that something like this would work far better in SH4, which lets you add different countries without any penalties to frame rate or loading times.
