I bet you're using the 3.6.9 version. Try this (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,61406.0.html).

Catch is, FS2 used both. You generally got FLASHING, PURPLE blips.
Catch is, FS2 used both. You generally got FLASHING, PURPLE blips.Actually I don't remember seeing those ever. Just red. Maybe a few green. And the point was that if they flash, they can't be targeted except with possibly that funny "target ships attacking my currently selected friendly target" function. In this missions they did not flash -> they could be targeted.
