as in Han-Ronald Corp, Nankam, Dynamic Metamer, are all those names copyrighted?
-
You mean, bound by law? Bound by Earth law? I doubt it. ;)
-
by volition or interplay
-
no they're not. If they had to get copyright for all the names in FS2, they would go bankrupt within a week :p
-
Actually, you don't have to pay anything to copyright something. If it's a relevant, essential and original part of a published work, it's automatically copyrighted. But I doubt that those names fit this category, and I doubt even more that :v: or interpoo would care about it...

wtf is a metamer?
-
I find the names quite realistic and quite believable though. Wonder where Volition Inc got those ideas.....

IIRC what someone said a long time ago at the VBB, the manufacturer's names in the Colossus cutscene were mostly just names of the guys at [V]

Isn't there a "Dave's house o' fighters" or something like that? :D
-
There is a company called Baranec Aquisitions in there. :D
-
The names of the companies in the Colossus cutscene went by too fast that I could not see all of them. How did you guys spot them???

By going into the VP files etc on the FS2 disc or directory.
-
Baranec Acquisitions, Johnsons Munitions, KresCo Engineering, plenty of little names like that.
Akheton Corp, Mekhu Enterprises, Shaar Fleet Systems... plenty of good stuff ;)
-
Hooray for RNI Systems, proud home of the all-powerful Aeolus!

Gotta love Atomica (http://www.atomica.com): :D
meta·mer
n.
A chemical compound that is metameric with one or more others
Either of two colors that appear identical to the eye but have different spectral composition
-
Terran contractors:
Subach-Innes
Johnsons Munitions
RNI Systems
Mesa Corp
Triton Dynamics
Dynamic Metamer
Han-Ronald Corp
KresCo Engineering
Nakham Aeronautical
Baranec Acquisitions
Vasudan contractors:
Mekhu Enterprises
Akheton Corp.
Sahr Corporation
Any more?
-
Actually I think Shaar Fleet Systems is just Shar corp, I was listing some from the top of my head.
KresCo is a Terran company though...
-
A few more I saw in there:
Snapka/Flegel Weapons Systems
AOAY Fluctuators
Comet [something unreadable]
Sahr is definitely my favorite; their ships all have cool color schemes and great peformance. ;) TD is also pretty nice.

I took several screenshots of the movie using PSP, which could then be examined more carefully. ;)
-
Han-Ronald's my fav. Good, solid stuff.
-
i always thought Han-Ronald became RNI Systems

how could you get mislaid confused with get laid? there's a three letter difference as well as a spacebar!

So, he's bit illiterate. Big deal. So am I. :D

Biggest. Difference. EVAR. :D

hey! you can't spell 'ever'!

Of course it was deliberate. Oh, and Venom spells 'oops' as 'oups'. :p ;)
-
And he probably spells woof as ouaf. ;)
-
like that modified english thing, you know,the 'euro five year english adjustment thing" wherever taht is....
-
Dunno.
All I know is that I don't speak with an accent, everyone else does.
Hey, you're an aussie...... you probably have one of those sexy accents. ;7

We don't have that much of an accent - she's Australian Chinese, like me. :)
-
you think an aus accent is _sexy_
-
Well actually, what I find really sexy is when a girl leans in close to your ear and grrrrrrrrowls. ;7
-
Well, some people do. That is, of course, until they hear Bill Heslop speak... :p

What? Is that so weird? Geez, now I feel like some sort of friggen sexual deviant. :p
-
well...
-
Listen.
Next time you're talking to your boyfriend (or next time you get one, depending on your status ATM) try it. It will make his day.
-
youre so _funny_!
dont you agree, setekh?
-
I think Setekh is trapped in the spiderwebs.....
-
?? just lost me there...
what spiderwebs?
-
Metaphor for the internet. Implying that the world wide web is actually a spiderweb.
He was AFK for a moment.
-
years of school has made me dumber.
-
lol
go into university, you know everything.
leave, you know nothing.
the knowledge is carefully collected, pressed and dried, then stored in sheets.
-
... no one knows everything, and no one knows nothing.
there's my philosophical statement for today.
-
well, i wouldn't know :p

Don't worry about Shrike, kids - he's only like that when he's online... :D :p

He has a point - he just doesn't really act like that. :p :D

Mainly because I couldn't talk to practically anyone there. :p

Ah, yeah. There was that too... But you didn't TRY!! :p
-
Yeah I did! The singer, those chicks at the club...... See, as you know, I don't consider clubs to be pickup places, unlike you. If I'm at someplace where I can actually talk to people properly, then things are very different.

Bah... three people in two months. I guess that's a new world record! :D
And what do you consider pick-up places then? :p
-
And how many times were we actually out?
-
Okay, okay, not many. Can't remember exactly, but it definately was more than three. :D
-
Yes? And am I supposed to attempt to pick up chicks every time? Geez..... I told you that's not how we do things up here. Gotta adjust to the regional differences. :p
-
*looks at Shrike and Styxx*
*shakes head*

YES, you are! And you must do that in the streets, at the supermarket, at the mall, at the restaurant, etc. etc. etc. :D

Lack of self-confidence? Just because I don't want to make an ass of myself with someone who doesn't speak my language. :p

Ah, well. I told you that that would never happen - they would most certainly try to understand you. It's what they always do - they love foreign people. :)
-
Plus you made a scene whenever I decided I didn't want to. That made things worse you know. :p
-
wait...so, what would happen if you started hurling curses at the people in English and explained that it meant "hello" or something? :D
-
I dunno. Styxx, give it a try.
-
Huh, we do watch amercian movies around here, so I'm pretty sure that people would understand most of the curses you said. :D :p
-
you two are sad...sad beyond sad :rolleyes:

Do I detect some jealousy? When was the last time you got out of the house? :D

Yeah, you're just saying that because you will NEVAR pilot one of those!!1! :D
-
I dont live in israel and its not the infantery(similar in some respects), anyhow if i can i will. When i join the Corps depends on whether i go collage, uni or just join at 17.
-
actually, i have a gf, and i was at a party with her last night. (no, she's not wicked ugly, for those of you thinking that) on the other hand, when was the last time you had a gf and when was the last time you got out of the house? :p
-
When i was younger(3 years ago) was the last time, went out with a girl at a disco, left never to see her again. Last time i was out of the house proper was..when i was camping as part of the RAF Cadets. Freezing cold, 2 hours per day when you could eat, you had to cook it yourself on your stove, halogen. 6 mile runs(with webbing), and standing two at 2:30am in the morning and then going on a another long run cos the CO was annoyed. Still i'd do it again :D

Girlfriend? Nah, I've been a swinging single for a while. But out of the house? You're talking to the guy who just spent 7 weeks in Brazil. :p
-
i bet you get to fly it into a hanger
-
:D :D. Indeed they're stored in hangers. Cant fly into one(normally), although im sure its possible :D. Knowing my luck i'd probably end up getting stationed in Canada(could be a good thing) or Kenya. Still it'd be out of Britian.

AHEM.
