Activity icon

An activity icon appears above a pirate (and sometimes NPPs) in a scene to indicate what that pirate or NPP is doing. Icons are displayed for the following activities:


 * Playing any puzzle
 * Trading with or challenging another player
 * Accessing the "Trade Commodities" interface in a market, or accessing "Inspect the hold" at a hold
 * Getting information from the notice board and/or pirate, crew, or flag pages
 * Sitting for a portrait
 * A thrall in Cursed Isles will have a thrall icon above its head.
 * Dragoons in Atlantis and Specters in Haunted Seas which have crept aboard will display the icon for the station they are sabotaging, bordered in red.

Additionally, pirates who are idle or have disconnected also display activity icons.
