Due to popular request (and some prior experimentation using lots of antennae) several racetracks were created.  Most tracks consisted of translucent tubes and/or completely covered tubes with lights inside.  One such track intertwined with the station type in Sector 9.  Another was nothing but the dark tubes, with multiple routes through it, making it somewhat of a maze.

As discovered by a well-known player, if you study the orientation of the planets and major (in-system) stars in relation to each other to their orientation on the map when you warp into a sector, you will find in every case that you are flipped 180° (π radians) from the solar plane. In other words... you're upside down!

The command <b>/displayshippos</b> can be broken into words in two ways, try it an see which way the game interprets it.
The command <b>/displayshippos</b> formerly displayed a set of coordinates pinpointing your ship's position.  This feature was removed because of potential bot scripting abuse and replaced with something more creative.  Unfortunately, that was later removed as well and replaced with something much less satisfying (probably due to its effect on newbies).  Not to be denied, players have recreated it as a plugin.
