From Vendetta Online Wiki
/* Hippos! */
== Alpha/Engine Test Easter Eggs ==
=== Tubes of Confusion ===
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.
Note that this feature has returned. See [[Race tracks]].
=== Ice, Yo! ===
During alpha, most asteroids could not be targeted. Certain ice asteroids could be targeted, however, and in the space where the target's name was normally displayed it read "Ice, Yo!"
== Beta Test Easter Eggs ==
=== Say what? ===
Private message a Hive bot, station guard, or strike force. You will recieve receive a string of randomly generated binary.
=== Upside down, backwards and sideways! ===
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 1.7.34 update removed this "easter egg".''
=== Wheel o' Doom! ===
=== Teach me! ===
You can <b>/mentor invite "your name"</b> and the game will then say, "<b>Ok, your you're mentoring your selfyourself.</b>"
Note: As far as I know you do not get mentor points from this.
You can duel yourself with <b>/duel challenge "your name"</b> and you'll find out if you won, lost, or tied against yourself.
Note: This does not affect your duel rating.
===I don't hear it!===
Try <b>/query snd</b>. I can't tell you what it does. It'll be funnier this way.
===Bunchie's UFO===

===Hippos!===
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.

===Turrets that talk===
Send a message to any of the nation defense turrets saying "Die" and you will get a reply.
