What is an emissive map? How does that work?
DrSuperEvil
Diffuse is the colour you see, emissive is the reflection, normal is fine detail and emissive is glow. They are different layers you can paint with a program like GIMP.

What about on Linux?

According to this savegames in the are by default stored in a hidden folder ".config/EgoSoft/X4/<number>/save/" in your home directory. So in the same directory as the save folder, there should also be "logos" folder, I guess.

Note that with linux files must have all lowercase names, for example: coologo.png NOT CooLogo.png
