Go to the Missions Specs editor and tick all teams at war.

Assign the EA ships as hostile and the UC as neutral in the Ships Editor. Both will now appear as red blips on the radar but will happily kill each other. If you want the UC to have a different colour from the EA assign them to the unknown team.

(Incidentally if you don't tick all teams at war Hostile will attack Neutral but Neutral will not attack Hostile.)


If you need something more complicated than this then you're going to have to investigate the iff_defs.tbl.
