I suggest implementing some easter eggs into the test. for example, first day of every month between 1 and 2 am vendetta universe becomes extra large and ships extra small. imagine ships reduced in size and speed by factor of 20. just an idea.

more ideas for easter eggs:
- munching bugs that eat cargo
- gun jams in mid combat
- dodgy missile fails to exist missile launcher
- mine sticks to the launchers ship
- invisible walls appear throughout sectors
- all teams become mixed up for a day
- dev powers are given to random characters even if they are griefers
- ability to hijack ships by dropping yourself in a cargo and getting other person to pick it up
- super nova explosion when sectors become "too hot" to enter (you die as you exit wornhole).
- 1337 5P34K converts all messages in the game to lame kiddie talk
- vendetta executes rm -rf / with root priveledge on linux and fdisk /mbr on windows

discuss these and your ideas?

Er, we have this feature already. You all just think they're bugs.

That one should be a feature, not an eegg.


<quote> gun jams in mid combat </quote>
Ditto

<quote> munching bugs that eat cargo </quote
Only if they show up as CHUD on the radar

Why ex?

Ack! ack! no! no! Invisible walls? Griefers with dev powers?
"fails to exist missile launcher"? <- my personal favorite ;P
/me is going to have Vendetta nightmares tonight.
*shudder*

Well, i had some vendetta dreams and idea of dropping yourself in cargo and capturing the ship of stupid pirate has been enacted. It's great to be able to sneak in through cargo pod and shoot him in the head while he's rubbing his hands and says ARRRR :)

The only problem of dropping yourself in a cargo pod, is what if it doesn't get picked up? :)

Cyanide capsule?

backup lifepod :D

>The only problem of dropping yourself in a cargo pod, is what if it doesn't get picked up? :)

That particular scenario was in my dream and was the funniest.

Keep the rest, pirate says.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
type /explode blows your ship up in the distance

...in space nobody can hear you scream.

seriously though, you should be able to click "Activate" and be transported to home station and your ship has issues. When you are picked up you can wait for as long as you want and click Activate when you want to try to get control of the ship.

On april 1st make an orb that flies randomly through space, if you go through the orb you get transported somwhere, where you can buy stuff you can't usually buy, then go to sectors that have overly powered ships and the like, other random things there too, after a day or two, everything goes back to the way it was.

heh heh, this would be funny

There are five easter eggs currently in the game, hidden in objects' texture maps.

I apologize to people running in low-resolution texture mode, you probably won't be able to find them.

Yay!

w00t! Time for an easter egg hunt! Bring your camera :P

Yah, post that when i'm away and using my ibook!

Grrrrrr...

/me guesses he can search for easter eggs with 4fps
maybe
as long as they're not in sectors 12, 4, 5 and 9, cause that'd make my computer die.

I think some are on the rotating planets. I've heard about one of the devs waving in one of the station windows, as a shadow? But that's about it. If anyone finds any please post links to screenshots.

One of my favorite Easter Eggs is the one in Adventure and the Killer Chickens in Zelda.
