Mmmm, just noticed it.  RNI was another one of the Colossus contractors, I remember it's logo from the cutscene.

Now THIS is useful info  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

We need more stuff like this around here! Great background data for all us campaign designers that's either offical...or at least a common source instead of every campaign having contradicting data  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Dave's House O' Fighters is a joke of course  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/tongue.gif)

Also Johnson's Munitions I believe is within the small text of the Colossus cutscene.

You repeated a couple of ships. GTF Myrmidon is in Dave's House O' Fighters and RNI Systems for example.

What do the numbers mean adjacent to each entry?

I agree with Warlock, great job ZylonBane. It's good to see your work for once, rather than wasting your time flaming everyone in VBB.

Oh and welcome to the HLP Boards. This is the first time I've seen you here.

Is this because they're referenced twice (edit) or because they jointly developed it (/edit)?

Referenced twice.

Nice job, Zylon. I can think of a place to put this...

Silly rabbit... might want to have checked the references. Dave's House o' Fighters and KresCo Engineering are both joke names, appearing only in screenshots in the manual.

The only jointly-developed item is the Mekhu-Sahr plasma powerplant. I should probably rework that reference, since since M-S isn't a single company.

KresCo was within the FS2 demo as the Herc2's builder.

So KresCo could be a contractor for the prototypes  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)

(If KresCo is a joke, so is Baranec Acquisition, I'd say that only Dave's House O' Fighters is a joke in the list)

Great job, Zylon! It's exactly the type of thing that I might have done, had I even thought about it...   (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/tongue.gif)

Damn. Now I have to flip through that boring manual.

Note: Boring because other than page 26, there is nothing in that manual that I don't already know.

It's true. It was written by some Interplay guy, IIRC. I say no more.
