| Summary | 0008264: Limit explosion sounds to current planet | ||||
| Description | I don't know how many of you play with the sounds on (I don't, it gets old in about 5 seconds), but one of the biggest annoyances are the constant explosion sounds that continue non-stop for pretty much the entire game. The sound itself is very grating, and there's no variation whatsoever. In addition, you get to hear the wonderful sounds of explosions on planets all over the galaxy, even (and especially) the ones you're not currently viewing. I suggest adding an option to limit explosion sounds only to the planet you're viewing, in order for those brave enough to leave the sound on to keep their sanity. | ||||

The only explosion sounds you are supposed to be hearing no matter what are your own ships dieing. All other non-UI, non-alert sounds are (supposed to be) local to the planet you are viewing. If your ships are not constantly dieing, can you post a save so we can see what is constantly dieing to create this sound. Granted, in a large game, even your own ships dieing can get very common, and thus can get annoying too. Other RTSs deal with this by having a different sounds for when your units are under attack/die when off the screen, and give a maximum rate that this sound will play. |

If you're running a Neinzul strategy, this is very common; still not acceptable. You should have an option to turn it off unless you're viewing the planet. |

Ooh, a Neinzul strategy. Yea, that would do it... |
