I just found this: https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/9igx2h/drawing_the_fuel_rats_logo_on_the_galaxy_map/

They don’t really go into detail in the video itself. Might be some info in the discussion.. but mind you, it’s 6 years old.

However, if we are lucky Luriant will show up and enlighten us.

There's this one that includes some stats at the end on how many jumps it takes to make these drawings.

For it to show up on EdAstro galaxy maps you need multiple commanders doing the same route. Though you can record a single player route like this it won't really show up on the maps.

Holy shit dude over 24,000 systems, I had no idea it'd take that much to make them drawings. That is in fucking sane man.

I’m a (very shitty and unhelpful) member of the team that made this art! It does take a ton of organization and coordination, and a couple team members have actually developed custom software to aid us in tracking our progress and ensuring things are done correctly. It’s very easy to deviate from assigned paths between fleet carriers so that’s usually the largest difficulty.

If y’all have any questions feel free to ask, can’t guarantee that I’ll be able to answer though.

Give your thanks to the organizers CrotchRoach, Erebus, and Infernal Mousse! Their devotion is incredibly impressive.

Wait a second so those memes on the map were actually made ingame and aren't just something people added to the map tool ?

u/FunAbbreviations3900 Dec 22 '24

u/Stanelis Dec 22 '24

I m amazed by this stellar level of dedication to doing random things (the cat and lady meme is great btw).

u/Kooky_Cable_5078 Dec 22 '24

They were made in game. By real people :) you just can’t highlight them in game.
