The Dual 180mm II (and now tech I versions) are some of the best sounding guns in the game, along with medium-ship size arty, but...the other proj-guns: Weak, especially the other medium size ACs.
Large ACs: Not bad, but needs more "oomph" Large Arty: Weak. Just weak.
Medium pulse-lasers: Awful. Just incredibly grating. Medium beam-lasers: The larger ones are good, the smallest are lame.
Small and medium rails: Ugh, and a little less ugh, respectively. Large rails: Used to make a cool, deep, thunder-clap "Bang," but it's been weakened again since Crucible.
Blasters, all sizes: Lame. Just lame, and size-large the lamest of all.
Missile-launchers: I wuvs me mah missulz, but why do their launchers all sound exactly the same? (The small- and large-size missile explosion sounds and effects are just...well, unfinished, seemingly, compared to the medium heavy-missiles--it's like that latter is the only one they put any effort and time into, wtf?)
I have noticed over the last few patches, and especially since Crucible, that gun sounds in general got a bit...well, weaker? Is it just me? Hans Jagerblitzen for CSM 7! (Mittens, you may not want to admit it, but your day in the sun is over. Next!)

Honestly I can't play EVE without sound. It gets disorienting.
But anyway, I definitely agree that the weapons sounds could use some work. Support showing T2 and faction frequency crystal damage in the info window! |

Better sounds would be excellent. Improved weapon sounds are a must (same with the effects really, god), and turrets making noises as they pop out and track in would be fantastic.
Yeah, eve needs new sound effects, a new sound engine, and new graphical effects to complement the shiny new turrets. |

I think this is a good idea. One thing I would like to add tho. Is that guns should have more then one sound. Say around 200 different sounds that are randomly picked. Would make it seem more realistic.
Also just a note a rail gun makes no sounds. The sounds you hear in that video is the Sabot round breaking the speed of sound. and it hitting the target. the gun itself makes no sound. So it would need some sort of new sound.

As for your idea on multiple sounds, I think 200 is a little overkill. To save space, CCP would have to make them all MP3s. This is my signature. There are many like it, but this one is mine. |

Thank you for your input guys.
BTW, I watched Transformers 2 a bit earlier. They have a nice railgun in there...

I made a thread about this a year or so ago, didn't get much feedback though. I posted this video in it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=whLbGbpt-E4
Now imagine THAT sound, sped up and shortened a bit to match and sync up with the effects for a beam laser. Like a Tachyon firing for instance. That's what the beams should sound like imo. And yes, the guns need more f'ing bass. I can turn my sub all the way up and it barely does anything with eve's sound.
And again, I love that damn laser sound... I wish so bad that my tach's sound like that firing :( |

Allthough true a railgun would not make sound in space or a laser.
the sheer ammount of energy on the guns would sure make some sort of powerfull electric noise
some sort of hum for lasers would be cool
for railguns they are releasing a LOT of power in an instant as magnetic energy so i would expect a sound similar to that of a thunder as for sure there must be some plasma created and a lot of electric arcs.
blasters are described as particle accelerators... so basically they are like the CERN but smaller, from some reading they are basically a lot of mass accelerated to relativistic speed, that disintegrates at midway due to its own energy, so the sound would be like taht of the railgun.
also impact sounds would be quite nice too.
missiles they definatly need help...
and projectile weapons... to me they sound like airsoft guns instead of multimeter guns. |

Even though the projectile from a railgun is not even close to a relativistic velocity, it would still cause a ripple through subspace at that speed (compared to subspace, space is just a very dense atmosphere). And subspace is probably what a ship's Audio Synthesizers use to record sound. This is my signature. There are many like it, but this one is mine. |

Yeah, that's one thing that gets me is these guns are like the size of a damn house (bs guns) and they sound like pea shooters. Lasers don't make noise? Maybe our tiny little lasers, sure... But the laser turrets on our ships are freakin huge. Expending huge amounts of energy shooting a beam out as big around as a damn truck. I'm sure the air around it would be super heated and cause all kind of burning and cracking and bolting. The speed of the projectile from railguns and blasters should leave some kind of visible wake behind them, a blurry, superheated wake... Not to mention the thundering sound they should make. |

Hello.
Throwing in my support for this thread. As a new player, I can't really comment on some of the larger turrets or batteries, or even engines. However, I too enjoy playing my games with in-game sound, for immersion purposes and also so I don't blare out people on voice comms :)
In my three or so weeks of playing so far, I've found the music to be pretty good, the warp drive and engine sound effects ok, and the weapons very disappointing. I know that EvE is really not about the visceral combat, and most times, especially in pvp, you'll be zoomed far out and looking at menus. Despite this, I think it's a shame that turret weapons don't generate the same sense of power some current weapons do and in EvE they are far ahead of us in terms of technology. Even if it's just a brief moment when you zoom in on your ship and release a volley of artillery fire, that brief second of sound should strike the player as both natural and awesome.
It's not just the projectiles weapon systems that need a sound update, though they may be the easiest to work with since we have plenty of real world examples. The hard ones will be the blasters and the lasers, since they need to sound cool without sounding overly whiny, tinny or obnoxiously cheesy like Star Wars lasers. Missiles, so far, seem alright too me, but there needs to be a larger and deeper launching and explosion sound for larger launchers, that would seem like common sense to me.
The final aspect of EvE sound that needs improvement is the miscellaneous and ambient sounds of the ship and turrets. For example, when you hit a repair module, you get some green light and some whirring, though it definitely could be louder. In a similar vein, turrets too need their random sounds. For example: a deep purring sound for lasers when they aren't firing; the rattling of an autocannon spinning around; perhaps even a hissing or exhaling sound after a blaster cycle completes.
That's the input I have for now, I'll definitely think of new sound ideas or look around on the internet for real world examples of sounds that the weapons could emulate. |

No. It is not air that does that. It is the warp field. Because it has to interact with Subspace, treats normal space like a very thick atmosphere. And you can't turn the warp coil completely off, because then it results in a critical existence failure due to the subspace field collapsing. Normally, a ship's shields would protect it, but since when a ship blows up it normally has little-to-no structure left, that is why the ship explodes 'Critical Existence Failure' style. When a ship has run out of Hull HP, the next shot breaches the Warp Coil. This is my signature. There are many like it, but this one is mine. |

Won't link any content from another game or sci-fi movie, but I'm sure you can imagine a sound of a charging up and then firing laser that sounds better, and more importantly, bigger than the current EvE sound. Gasgat Alur wrote:Agreed. All I hear while doing PVE is lame sounds while shooting my guns and impacts from enemy fire.. I'd love for more "random" sounds such as turrets adjusting etc.. actually, your wrong, sound is the vibration of molecules in teh air as energy pases through them, lasers are pure energy. the reason you don't "hear" a laser, is ebcause it is so small, so the MACHINE THAT CHARGES AND FIRES the alser makes a VERY distinct sound, though a laser form the VISIBLE light spectrum would make a buzzing noice, higher frequencies would become more of a whine. and the generator for a alser ALWAYS makes a humming noise, something that on a spaceship would prolly sound like the bulk-heaeds were ebing rattled off if you were working near the laser-mountings. |

The devs that work on our sound and the devs that work on THAT **** are in two completely different groups. Now where is your common sense?
Also, the thing about the warp coils and all, that's in one of the short stories isn't it? Could've been a chronicle or something, I can't remember, I just read about it somewhere, too XD |

A few minutes ago, at fanfest, CCP Soundwave (lead game designer) said that most people play with sound on, and seems to conclude that the sound is alright.
People playing with sound on means that the sound is better than silence. It does not mean it's good.
Please comment and forward. Improve weapon sound effects |
