Along with the obvious needed changes such as : Drone distinction (easy fix, put them at 33% opacity), player vs NPC distinction (plus, why FILL the NPCs instead of the players?), etc...
I can't, for the life of me, get used to the wreck icons! Its TOO CONFUSING.
Wrecks should NOT be even remotely close to ships shape, the only triangular stuff should be ALIVE SHIPS and NOTHING ELSE. (PS: You need to reconsider your definition of triangular for carriers... But that's another story.)
Also, the cyno icon.
Now, for the important bit. Icon clutter:
Icon clutter occurs when there is a large amount of brackets stacked at the same location. With the new icon iteration, you've increased the "glow background" behind icons, which increases the stacking issue exponentially.
Just as there is a way to use small colortags, there should be an option to remove the background and intead color the icon. So, instead of seeing a white triangle on a green background, I'd see a green triangle with a TRANSPARENT background.
What happens to NPCs? Well, first, I really don't see the point in making NPC icons that look the same as players, but if a rollback isn't possible, I guess you could fill entierly the NPC background with 100% opacity red if that option is turned on, so that we easily differenciates -10.0 standings with NPCs.

About the less important suggestions for the overview:
- Inner-border glow for the next gate in the autopilot?
- The ability to have multiple overview windows? Would love to have a main overview window 5 lines shorter, with a GTFO overview window always open, right below it, with only 5 lines high.
- Different icons between cynos and NPC beacons?
- More than five overview tabs?
- A better way to change bracket settings than right clic and navigation to countless submenus? (I was thinking something along the line of three "bracket slots" pre-filled by the user. Three small square buttons on the top right corner of the overview window, with one always on. You clic on these buttons to enable the bracket profile assigned to that button instantly.
