Map Symbols?

Does anyone know what the different symbols are on the map? I have tried to figure them out, but have been unable to. Here is an example: I have the same symbol on the two missions, Restoration & The Dark Within. The symbol is a center star with branches around it. I have just a star on the mission The Warmind. I thought there might be different symbols if you completed the mission on Hard or Normal, but that doesn't seem to fit. I do know there are different symbols for the Patrol mission and the Strike mission, but I can't figure out the difference in the star symbol and the star with branches. Any help would be great. Thanks

    From what I've gathered doing patrols -The Symbol with the Star in a Circle are VIP killing missions, you must kill a specific Target. -The Triangle with a Line in it. You must collect certain items from certain enemies, click the details button to figure out which enemy specifically. -The Symbol that looks like a Engine prop from a plane is a Survey mission. Basically someone wants you to stand on a specific point for a period of time to "survey" it -The Symbol that looks like an exploding ghost is a mission where you have to scan a room. You'll go there & your ghost will take full room pictures. Again, these are symbols from patrolling. [u]Public Event Symbols. [/u] When a public event occurs (clap of thunder, darkening skies, ghost saying something, orange mission banner popping up) look for a blue symbol on your HUD...that's where you need to go...[b][u]DO NOT RELY ON ATMOSPHERE ANIMATIONS[/u][/b]., ie, ship flying over head. They're just there for effect, the event can happen anywhere, look for the dark blue HUD Icon. That's my take so far.
