The icon refers to the race of origin (Human, Gaalian, Peleng, Maloq or Freyan). It doesn't really matter if you have different types in the same ship, but I believe that some races equipment is better than others in terms of how fast they deteriorate. From memory, I think Gaalian is best and Maloq the worst. But it does balance out somewhat because the Maloq equipment will generally be cheaper.
