Icons legend/Ship Status Indicators
When the player's ship, or the ship that the player has currently targeted, takes certain types of damage (whether from a modified or standard weapon) the ship HUD will indicate this via the display of weapon effect icons shown below the relevant schematic for the affected ship.

| Engine Disruption | Speed is reduced: changing ENG pips has no effect on the ship's max speed nor boost speed. | Drag Munitions | |
| Engine Reboot | Temporarily disables thruster | Ion Disruptor, Thargoid Caustic Generator explosion | |
| FSD Reboot | Temporarily disables FSD | FSD Interrupt, Containment Missile Powerplay weapon, Shift-Lock Canister | |

| Impulse Attack | Physically pushes the affected ship out of its previous trajectory. A Cannon with Force Shell can push the ship further with physical force. | Railgun, Force Shell | |

| Internal Damage | The ship can experience internal module damage | Overheating, Missile Racks (both dumbfire and seeker), strike on internal modules | |
| Malfunction | A module will malfunction, regardless of the module's health. - Yellow icon: a low chance that a malfunction will occur. - Red icon: a malfunction becomes active. The Red icon is visible while receiving continuous weapon fire. |
