Ratchet Gladiator/Deadlocked: Red Dwarf links?

[Jason aka Smeg4Brains]

I don’t know if anyone else here has played Ratchet Gladiator (known as Ratchet Deadlocked in the States) but I’ve played through it a few times and always mean to bring this up, so now I am doing.
I always wondered if the creators of the game had stuck a few RD references in there or if I’m just finding links where there are none.

The first thing I noticed in this game was the main ship that you use:

Bares a passing resemblance to the Dwarf does it not? When I first saw that, however, I thought it was a coincidence and didn’t think much else of it, until I saw one of the main villains of the game…

This guys name is ACE HARDLIGHT. That can’t be coincidence can it? And look at his swooshy blonde hair. What do you guys think?
