Not sure if it's much of an Easter Egg but did anyone else spot the reference to the game 'Half-Life' in some of the narrative / story writing yet?

I'm not giving anything away due to spoilers but I just wanted you to know - I see what you did there!

I also liked the ones where the writing is poking fun at player attitudes on this forum. The one where Fury is denounced as "yet another glass cannon with small mounts", the "tariffs are too high", the one engineer complaining that explosion flashes being too bright.

"Technological advance is an inherently iterative process..."

[Tartiflette]

There's a whole section that's got to be a reference to the game Dusker.

I have not found this, but ironically, Fury is anything but a glass cannon. Solid flux stats, good shields, good mobility.

It's in the codex:

Dismissed by heavy-armor-ballistic-firepower traditionalists as 'just another small-bore glass cannon', the Fury has nonetheless proven quite dangerous in the hands of quick-thinking fleet commanders. 

It really does feel like a downsized Aurora more than an upsized Shrike. Which is a good thing.

A fairly obvious reference is that the ship hull the High Hegemon is sitting next to is numbered "0451" which is the traditional first locker code in any game inspired by Deus Ex (the number 451 of course refers the book by Ray Bradbury).
