Description
On RV, we have been experiementing with the idea of removing the Flags from the tooltips, while keeping the player name so you can't just get their faction if they decide to use their revealing SW (Spy Plane/Scout Drone) against you by hovering over those units. You need to find their ConYard which has flags on them. Or see a subfaction specific unit.
I messed around the tooltip code and couldn't figure out a good way to implement this, as we want to keep a lobby option for the flag, we can't really rely on editing the chrome files. So i'm creating this issue.

Research direction
Start by tracing the tooltip code around ShowOwnerRow and inspect how chrome files and lobby options control tooltip content. Determine where owner names and faction flags are assembled, then verify that the lobby option can independently preserve or hide flags while player names remain visible.
