Impossible. The game was developed by Matthew Davis and Justin Ma. "MFK" doesn't match either of them...

Also, I would like to remind you guys that the MFK logo not only appears on the Rebel Flagship, but also on the Rebel Elite Fighters that you encounter when the Rebels catch up to you in sectors 1-7 and also occasionally in Sector 8.

Maybe it's just the abbreviation of Justin Ma's Chinese name. That's the first thing that came to my mind as a Chinese. I would also write the abbreviation of my name sometimes. Also notice there was a crew named "Ma Fan".

Hotkeys by default:

M = Mind Control
F = Power Oxygen
K = Power Mind Control


== take over enemy crew, have him turn off their oxygen, have him turn off their mind control, thus they cannot reverse it. Seems an effective strategy.

There are better ways in German to say it, but not with the initials "MFK". I like the Justin Ma's original Chinese name initials theory, as it fits with the use of dev team member names for crew names. Still, coming up with a German translation to fit with the various German-based theories allowed me to use the word "Kampfwagen" in casual conversation ... how could I pass that up?
