Okay, I know the sound effects in Stars! are extremely few, but I'd be willing to provide a few sounds for the battle VCR. (Some sounds are easier than others, however)
Is there a need for this?
I think some extra sounds could actually make battles a bit more fun. The one torpedo sound, two beam weapon sounds, and one explosion sound get old fairly quickly.
I think it might be more interesting if each of the following has its own sound:
- Standard Beam Weapons
- High-power beam weapons (like pulverizers)
- Multiple-targeting beam weapons (like gatling guns)
- 0-range beam weapons (like blackjacks)
- Sappers
- Low-power Standard Torpedoes (Alpha to Epsilon)
- High-power Standard Torpedoes (Rho to Omega)
- Capital Missiles
- Beam/shield impact
- Beam/armour impact
- Torpedo impact
- Small ship explosion
- Medium ship explosion
- Large ship explosion
- Starbase explosion
- Torpedo deflection
- Beam deflection
- Ship disengaging
Thoughts?

Client side issue in terms of the game.
I think it would appeal greatly to some, and not to others. It's "chrome" in game-speak. Some like it, others feel that the effort put into it may have drawn resources from game-play and balance work.

To be honest, I hadn't planned on adding sounds. My Stars! version is 2.6 so I've never had sounds in my Stars! games and never particularly cared to have sounds in the battle screen anyway.
I suppose I could think about it though.....
It might be more fun to use some animation to blow the ships up

Though we often ask how and why, we must also do to get the answers to the questions.Report message to a moderator
