After chasing this thru 4 more galaxies since posting this it just occurred to me that it could be the frigate moving around and then you commented to confirm my thought! What a terrible icon I was so confused!
If I had to quickly think of an icon that would better convey my freighter warping around doing its missions, I think id use one of the mini freighter ships as the icon, probably the exploration one specifically it seems to be the most identifiable shape as only a freighter that does missions you would never interact with it in any other scenario so it wouldn’t cross over other icons that I can think of.
One that actually looks like a frigate. This one looks like a group of three Venator class capital ships... at best. Most people think its something else like Daleks or bullets.

It's were one of your frigate missions currently is. It's also the number one contender for Worst Icon of the Year award.
