So you'd be able to determine the nature of planets using probes, even if they were attacked. It seems like a probe should be able to do that for you.

I agree, right now it's just guess work .... Still ships should be able to tell the difference

I want to bring attention to this. I just inadvertently lost a fleet of 45 ships by moving them to what I thought was an outpost but was actually an aggressive colony. Wiped out instantly. Awesome.
