I am fairly certain it is an arrow. The tip is the direction people are facing, so you can tell if you are sneaking up on people or if your allies are in the same direction as yourself. If you only see that, it means someone is cloaked but you can see their arrow.

Oh, so it is showing their field of vision rather than an arrow point. Neat.

I think it does mean if an ally is cloaked. I have seen a lot of arrows come running by me on the map and have seen cloaked allies.



It sure would be nice if when a patch happened, there could be information given to the players. You know, almost like a list or notes of all changes. Would sure be nice to have explanations on how they CCP changed their game. It is frankly wrong that you have to ask other players to determine on a developer's changed stuff.
