Is there a list anywhere that shows the symbols, and their meanings, that pop up around your ship during battle? Such as the red rotating rings, the white square, the red square...etc.
I know the medical symbol means I have crew damage, but don't have a clue as to the others.
Also what weapons produce which color beams and what is the one that makes a collapsing red cloud.
The collapsing red cloud is Tyken's Rift. It's an energy debuff being applied by someone's science BOff. Don't know about the rest of the symbols however.
You can usually tell what effect is happening to an enemy/ally ship by targeting them, and when the target shield display appears in the top-center of your UI, there should be a tiny 'card' with the effect's icon in it.
Hover the mouse over that tiny 'card' and you should get an info panel as to what the effect is.
The same goes for your ship. Either the bottom-center display for ship shields/throttle/action bar will display any tiny 'card' with the effects that are occurring to your ship, or it is off the the right-center display in the UI, I can't remember...
I.E. When I use my 'Tractor Beam' on a MOB ship, the target's shield display will pop a tiny 'card' icon showing that the MOB is slowed, and under the other effects of 'Tractor Beam'...
