Newcomer / Intro What's This Blue Icon on the Galactic Map?

[kinnerc]

Hey Folks:

This has got to be a stupid question, but I can't find this on Google.

I'm trying to identify a Blue icon on the Galactic Map. It is not listed on the legend. It is NOT the bookmarks icon - that's listed on the legend, I have a few, and I know where they are.

This Blue icon sort of looks like a filled in backwards capital "R" with a down arrow on its left side.

What is this? I can't figure it out.

THANKS!

It's the bookmark symbol when you bookmark something in the system map, a planet, a base etc.

i guess you mean the bookmark icon for a body or station in system.

the upper one?

bookmarked in this case is a station in system.

Backwards R ? Not sure what you're talking about, but there are only 3 blue icons that I know of :

- Wing (doesn't look like backwards R)
- Bookmark (maybe looks like backwards R)
- Current Location (an arrow)

Goemon:

That's it! The upper one! Yes!

So, exactly what is the difference between a "normal" bookmark and the "Backwards R" bookmark?

Is a "normal" bookmark just something I put for the system in general, and the "Backwards R" is a bookmark specific to an item (station, planet, colony) IN the system?

Is it an Engineer's Invite bookmark? One that was inserted by them into your map, hence the downwards arrow?

Exactly right.

Exactly right.

Thanks Degory!

Not quite. The Engineer's bookmarks are orange and are listed in the legend.

Really? Mine are the down-arrow blue bookmarks on the GalMap but those are bookmarks I put on myself (I now remember), the actual Engineer Location symbols (not bookmarks, i.e. not listed in bookmarks list) are a square with a hex-nut graphic all in a decidedly purple or magenta colour - the only orange ones on my maps are mission markers. However I'm on a PC so your PS4 things might be different.

Just to be clear - I was wrong in my first post, the ones in the original question are GalMap icons showing that there is a bookmarked location in the system map, as Goemon and Dregory said.
