I started my 3rd game in Beta 3 as a vasari rebel. I chose a Random Huge-Multi map with capital victory as the only victory condition and all rates (income, ship speed, research, etc.) at fast; as well as large fleets, quick start and active pirates. Put AI characters as random race, random personality, and easy difficulty. Teams unlocked.
as soon as the game finished loading and the match began, all game sound stopped.
