Lets talk for a sec. Cynos are a deep core mechanic in eve. The animation is Great, the arrival/departure sound/animation are acceptable. But the sound that that you get WHICH you can only click once every ten mins feels a bit.... underwhelming ...
Its too high pitched.. and the ambient noise the cynos do generate feel like they are kinda misplaced in the grittier dark theme eve has got going on. It breaks the EveMersion. Surely a mod that weights in at a hefty 50m3 can generate a better noise than a space whimper/screech.
Most non capital mods are 5m3... this alone should state how much meta-gaming is going on with this core ship mod.. maybe the most important mod in the game... you know the one that starts & ends EVERY major space battle.
Why cant cynos have a spool-up/spool-down sound cycle that coincides with the mods effective timer according to the pilot/ship. Why is there not a sound the cyno should make when killed mid cycle?
All The risk, all the attention (overview), the ingame map updates, the capital ship jumps and 10mins of punishment time/glory time .. all potentially starting a butterfly effect with some of the tinyiest ships in the game and we get this EvEmersion Breaker.
Why not create another opportunity for players to turn there eve sound back on....
Cynos going up on a battlefield are always potentially game changing moments in our sandbox we should give it some more respect. Perhaps cynos that display corp/alliance logos when activated in addition to the cyno effect/function.
My Crappy Example: Mute Left Sound and/or PLay with volume to achieve max EveMersion
So I want to share another cool way to keep the old and create incentive for new. CCP You can add micro-transactions to use AUR to purchase different types of Cyno MODS. each mod could have custom art and/or custom sounds... the possibilities for harvesting bored vetrans and brave noobies alike should be more than tempting to atleast look at what that could be in terms of revenue.... consumable.... items.... oh my!  |

Obligatory "stop posting the same old crap" post.
Cooler sounding cynos would be great, along with possibly a warning noise when a cyno pops up in system.

I was about to comment about how the vast--- VAST-- majority of Eve have neither heard that sound nor used a cyno, when I saw you were PL.
Never mind.

So there are people who play without the screen zoomed out too far to see/hear anything? Weirdos... |

I remember the time when cyno's didn't exist ... and the sounds were even more crappy ... to the point that *everyone* turned the sound off, spawning the "eve has sound ?" meme ...
And please, microtransaction are BAD, EBIL bad.
TL;DR : how about no ?
