Minimap Icons

The minimap, being the extremely useful tool that it is for both information and navigation, provides pilots with a large array of icons to indicate what is contained in each sector. Note that only ship and station icons are displayed on the minimap's bar; towers, caltrops, etc are not.

In an attempt to increase the information conveyed by the minimap, core developers have created their own sets of icons. With more icons comes more information that can be gleaned from the minimap, but these new icons are not as straightforward as the original ones.

Common minimap icons

Generally icons on the minimap can be broken down into two parts.

  1. The symbol of the ship, which you should focus on learning.
  2. Superscript that gives extra information about that ship.

The first part of the table below shows the ships common to most factions on most cores, and the second part explains the extra info normally available. For a complete table showing all ships and stations available, see the bottom of this article.

Footnotes

1  ·  
As you can guess from the icon, [IC]] miners can ripcord by themselves.
2  ·  
Conversely, TF miners can be ripcorded to by you. However they have limited energy to receive ships, which regenerates slowly, so be wary!
3  ·  
Deployed towers and caltrops do not appear on minimaps, but will on your HUD.
