I would like to propose a change to the build que audio

April 11, 2012 2:59:25 AM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

Since it is true for alot of us that the voices in our heads get annoying after awhile especially when we are building alot of a certain type of ship. I propose that instead of getting a voice response everytime a ship is built that there be one voice anouncement for each quued ship type. So for example I que up twenty of one type of corvette and forty of another the last one built of the first que announces his fleets presense and so on down the line.

That's not easily doable at this point, but what I can look into is adding in some simple sound effect variants so it's not so repetitive.

Variants would help a lot. Especially if there was a "rare" variant... that would make queuing up 40 corvettes feel a lot cooler, because I might hear the special build announcement!

I agree with the OP. It is easily the worst aspect of the game series.

What if a "launch" sound was made after every build? whooosh....

Different ships would have different launch sounds....

you get the idea...

That's actually quite a good idea! Wouldn't be as bothersome as the annoying Advent voices repeating themselves endlessly.

i wasent sure waht everyone was talking about when they said that the advents voices were annoying

 

then last night i built like 40 corvettes for the first time................... 

 

i definitely support adding in more simple sounds to reduce the voice spam.

You could also give it a timer. You won't hear a ship being created when it's been less than 5 seconds of the last time you heard an audio que.

This is a great idea. Maybe a setting for the minimum time in between que noises too. I could have it set so that they all go off, or only one with at least 10 seconds in between the last one.
