Bug report:

Client: Windows 7/8 x64

Timeline: bug present in Odyssey. Bug existed in Retribution, perhaps earlier.

Description: upon first login, sometimes characters in "local" list will not have proper +5/+10 friendly standings displayed.

Example: character is in an alliance (CONDI / GSF), and when logging in sometimes characters in _other_ alliances (like SMA, GENTS, etc), whose alliances have +5 or +10 standings to our alliance, display with no colortag (ie "neutral") in local list.

Workaround: if you minimize the "local" window to menubar, and then reopen it, the correct standings colortags are displayed.

Reproduction: I am unsure if this is 100% reproducible upon logging in. It seems to happen inconsistently, but it does happen for many, many people. Not just me.

Severity: this is a serious gameplay issue which confuses players and causes ships to get blown up by people who should be friendly.
