Compass Icons

[Finarfin]

My bad eyes seem to see different shaped icons in the compass. What do they represent? It also looks like some are white and some are yellow.

In your ship, white are things you cannot target by pressing next/prev target (materials, cargo, nav beacon)

Yellow can represent ships or space stations, or asteroids if you're very close. Planets, moons and stars are yellow but show as a ball.

A yellow square is an NPC with no weapons deployed. A triangle means they've deployed them.

A green icon is an ally. Red is an enemy who is shooting at you.

All of the above are solid icons. If they're hollow icons, those are other human players.

With players, it's yellow for randoms, red for people shooting at you, green for squadron members, blue for team mates. Solid blue is a teammate not in your instance. The same square/triangle applies.
