Locations and corporations

Strepto

I have too much free time on my hands and decided to look around the alpha maps for stuff from the NS universe. Locations, corporations, and other stuff that you could imagine a story for. This is what I've found so far:

Agoa (Planet? seen in RR)

Simeon 9 (Also Planet? seen in RR)

<b>Alterra Corporation</b> (Seen on crates/boxes, tram, machinery etc.)

Also seen on other stuff:

RP North Inc. (seen on some big containers)

Apex Industries (seen on some big containers, also I think I saw a logo similar to this on an overall in a locker)
<img src="http://imgur.com/11ycL.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" />

Targetball (some sort of game?)
<img src="http://imgur.com/IOuTH.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" />

NES, Root, POP (drinks, cans can be found on some maps)
<img src="http://imgur.com/ETpOc.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" />

SOFT (T not visible, soda drink?)
<img src="http://imgur.com/BDGpF.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" />


Now, these places and corporations are probably just made up for the sake of giving stuff a sense of context. But let's imagine a deeper story for these places and corporations, or if you're inclined, think up new ones. I can't help think of scenarios that can be construed from these things, and how cool it would be if we, as a community, had more stuff like this to build maps and scenarios around.

I love the taser for sale ad: "Never been used!" :D

Re. Targetball

Is it Charlie Cleveland, Matt Regan and Cory Strader on the list?
Next is Bob Smith, or I am experiencing pareidolia.

Skulks were called Bob early on.

Made me chuckle when I explored the RR as did the Taser ad.

Ahem, Gentlemen.

Are you on the list?

Mahmutti

Stuff like this are just something small but they make the game feel more "alive". You wouldn't really notice the lack of them (if they wouldn't be there), but they're nice to have and it's often the little things that make a game better than another, similar game.

The targetball list is us, basically. The dev team.

Thaldarin

If you know how to look closely you can see many of the names, line 2 and 3 are Matt Regan and Cory Strader... Oh look dux, I see you third from bottom of a heavily pixelated list too ;)
