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  

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

Dave's House O' Fighters is a joke of course  

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  

(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...

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill
