Just me or is:
"Soft soundscape when entering the ingame map"
and
"Map mode soundscape"
the same thing?

Sounds good, no pun intended.

The only thing which comes to mind is for ships which are on the very edge of cap stability, potentially ticking back and forth over that 30% every time the shield booster fires. That could get a mite annoying.

I don't think the Capacitor warning should come as early as 30%. I'm sure a lot of players rely on peak recharge, which AFAIK happens at around 35% cap.

So, seriously... Consider moving the threshold to 20%. Or make it customizable, like the warnings for Shield HP, Armour HP and Hull HP.

so i heard we were gunna get a vid or something compareing old to new weapon sounds, any chance of getting that soon?

apart from that excellent blog.

The best part about it is the procedural generated sfx.

Guys, this has the potential to indeed be awesome !


Nobody remembers syndicate (bullfrog, '93) anymore ?
Fluid changes in music, dependent on situation !

It was perfect !

Um, with all due respect...

Please give us the option of turning the B/G music off?

Sorry guys, but it is --IE, the last Duality build I played-- sometimes just jarring, and that's annoying as Hell. Options, please, options!

That, and please don't change the sound of Dual 180mm Autocannon IIs. Best-sounding guns in the game!

I have some comments but please note that these are strictly from me as a player!

I am really excited about these changes - For one thing, ship environment sounds make a ton of sense and it's something I've wanted to have for a while. Just add actual crews that modify the ships stats and we're gold :P

I understand the soundcloud initiative; but does it have any impact on people with a limited data plan ?

In the same feeling; can this impact on players with limited bandwidth who perhaps play eve and listen to other online streaming services like EVE-Radio ?

The jukebox vs media player comment is relevant - but don't forget that adding a jukebox and having the ability to play your own MP3s in the thing are not date related at all. If this is not going to be an option moving forwards, will we be able to export our current playlists ?

Sound made when finishing a mission - I hope it's a Ding! :+P

Otherwise, I really can't wait to hear (pun lol) from you guys

Would there be a way to have EVE only play music if it's the frontmost window, and to play environmental effects at 25% volume if it's not? That way, if you had sound enabled, you'd only hear one soundtrack, but you could still make out the shield alarm on your AFK Mackinaw (frex ;-) ) in a background window.
