Galaxy Graffiti.
For fun sake, drew out friendly wordings with my Explorer II explorations. It took about ninety six (96) missions to carve this out and is my last 5 to complete. So far zero (0) planet discovery and four (4) ships lost. This can be found at (358/-26)
Other than some middle finger and a swastika logo, anyone else spotted space exploration markings perhaps post me a comment.
Rafalski Full Map Squished.
No longer able to get the squarish shape of the full map for my 'timelapse' animation GIF. Thanks to three culprits names 
My Game Update.
NextColony now has around 9200 planets and I'm on my 30th with manual management is quite taxing. Got to automate some menial tasks, otherwise it'll be too time consuming for me. The recent planet discoveries were accelerated, thanks to the urgency of other exploration around my area from distant players. In short, it has been a fun two weeks of exploration sniping from me to them. At one point, I did consider to send a few rogue Corvettes over to their planet and wipe off those Explorers, but decided otherwise. I guess it's more fun to have participation than to stifle competition and end up alone.Thus, will let it be for now.
