What does this icon mean?

Forgive the noob question, but I only started seeing this a day or so ago. Can someone tell me what it means? It appears during combat, and on both my ship and on my target. Sometimes not at all, sometimes only occasionally, sometimes many times during the battle.

I'm sure it'll be obvious once I know what it is, but I can't figure it out from my combat log, and I'm not sure what power/weapon is triggering it. Would someone enlighten this undeserving one? :)

    I take it that is an enemy disruptor ray hitting you in the butt there? Most likely you got affected by the "Disruptor Breach" debuff which all disruptor weapons have.

    A wiki site for this game would be amazingly useful.
    Or a thread that compiles all these icons

    I've been seeing this too and have also been wondering what the heck it's purpose is.

    I don't remember seeing it before I put Disruptors on my own ship, but I started seeing it about the same time I did that, on both mine and my targets.

    I thought it might have something to do with Disruptors, but I never saw it before I put them on my own ship, even though I got hit with Disruptors regularly.

    There's a wiki starting up here, but I didn't find an answer there, either.

    I think it means you are losing some crew, I used a boarding party to attack an enemy ship and when they 'ported back that icon came on.

    Yeah, I'm beginning to suspect the same. I had one show up just as I took out my last target, and checked the crew count. It was down a little and recovering. There is nothing in the combat log about it.

    I'm wondering why I'm only seeing it recently. Do you not even lose crew until you make LT? (I made LT at about the same time it started showing.)
