And please, I hope you don't mean 'horns' as in 'those pointy things that grow on the heads of cattle'.....Shocked

I assume he means car horns ... actually, the idea of a freighter blasting a freight train horn coming out of warp has a certain appeal to it. The first time, at least.

Well the primary problem with a horn in space is that there's not much for sound to actually travel through. The noise that emanates from a horn is a vibration of air molecules. Without a medium for sound to travel across in vacuum or near vacuum, such as via radio transmission, it would simply not be heard.

Currently the only reason you can hear things in space is because of an on-board sound system that simulates events around your ship or more specifically the "camera drones" that you see your ship through. I suppose you could justify a horn as transmitting the sound to this sound system but that raises the question of whether enemy ships could manage to cause loud disorienting noises to be heard by a capsuleer via a form of electronic warfare module.

This would give a whole new meaning to the White Noise Generator ECM module.

But like above, while it would be hilarious for the first couple of days after release, I think it would quickly lose its charm after that. Y'know, much like sitting on an 8-lane freeway during gridlock.

Although I wonder what a titan's horn would sound like.

Pew-pew lasers in space.
Explosions in space.
Rocket sounds in space.
Station sounds in space.

It's not like EVE is doing everything by the physics book.

I approve of this magnificent idea to improve Jita traffic.

"BHOO-OOOM" HEY YOU, ******* IN A MACH, BUMP ME ONE MORE TIME AND I SWEAR YOU'LL SEE ROAD RAGE WORTHY OF RUSSIAN DASHCAM RECORDINGS!

Also, attachable horns for ships would be amazing.

I actually think this would be HILARIOUS-

Make it a module like the festival launcher, except it's a 'smartbomb', and make everyone within its radius hear the horn P It could be a mexican 'la cucaracha' horns Lol

While we're at it, why not make Confetti Smartbombs?? Glitter Smartbombs?? Disco TPs?? The possibilities are endless! Big smile

Actually, those sounds are all simulations. You should go to this link: http://community.eveonline.com/backstory/short-stories/the-jovian-wet-grave/

Even if you aren't into the lore a whole lot, this short story will explain a few things about the ships in Eve that otherwise don't really make a whole lot of sense.
