Alright so, here is my feedback on the new icons:

Most of them are rather dissapointing. I'm sorry to say it, since I know the time and effort that already got into this.
They don't look like an aestetic improvement, they suffer from pixellisation and do not look "clean". I especially think about the stargate icon as a prime example of that.

• More diversity should be exploited. Making only triangles or squares isn't enough. Use line combinaisons!
• The absence of any kind of devblog or dev material to give players a list of all icons, forcing us to play "find every ship/drone/npc/structure type to see how it looks" in space, severely hampers feedback.
• There is a lack of information about what is missing and what is not. For instance, mobile depots are still squares. We were told that squares were most likely caused by the icon not being finished yet. Still, here they are, still squares.
• Drones are TOO VISIBLE. Drone icons are both more distinct, too pretty, and too big (= same size) compared to ships. Limit all the size of drone icons to 50% of the available icon size. It needs to be visually obvious that drones aren't as important as players or regular ships.
• Players should have the little square corners still displayed around their icon. It would greatly help differenciate them from NPCs. I know there is the whole "empty or full" icon story about Player or NPC origin, but adding a little more wouldn't hurt.

To illustrate my first point about making more than only triangles or squares, here is a mspaint mockup of what you could do.

Its not great - I can do a photoshoped clean version when I get home if you want -, but seriously take the time to look at it and I'm sure you could find some very interesting suggestions.
