Brackets are the icons you see in space for an item, such as squares for stations, circles for planets, etc. Brackets can be toggled to "Show all", "Stop showing all" (this will default to loaded preset bracket settings), and "Hide all brackets."

There are occasions on which you might want your brackets to show different things than are on your overview. For example, bracket setting with drones shown, while the main overview setting does not show drones. This is because there are often swarms of drones about, which can quickly clog up the overview.

One example of a time you might want to see drone brackets in space is in missions. You want to warp off, but you don’t know whether your drones are still out. If you have drone brackets set, you can easily see when your drones are no longer in space. Additionally, you can see when someone has drones attacking you in PvP. This can be very useful.
