Nope.

It's the opposite, the concave side is the direction people are facing. It also doesn't indicate a cloaked enemy.

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.

It is fun to speculate on small things that don't really matter like this. Gives us something to do next to QQ.

CCP, you magnificent bastards...

I thought they were squadless mercs for a while them a merc in my squad was one. I am very interested in what they are supposed to mean or why we have them. "One of God's own prototypes.

If nobody in ur squad is pointing their gun at them, and they arnt scanned but still manage to get on the radar somehow (passive scan?) Then they are just a chevron not a dot. Less QQ more PewPew

I have had people in my squad beside me, reds across the map and blues doing whatever blues do with them. The only thing that seems to be consistent is that the open end seem to be the direction they are facing. "One of God's own prototypes.

I thought it meant that you have visual or they are friendlies within your scan radius. I.e. So you can be aware of them and help out more easily if friend or know which reds pose the biggest threat. Maybe they are within your weapon range. Guessing from what I've been seeing. I'd assume it's so you don't get the blue and red berry symbols jumbled up when they are grouped close by ( also in scan range) "Stay stealthy scouts." GÇô Ron Burgundy
