I think the sounds of most turrets are too weak. Medium and heavy laser turrets in particular sound like laser pistols or riffle gun at best, not like a 7 to 17 meters piece of artillery ! I think CCP should change that and make these turrets sounds heavier.
Just to say.

The Tachyon Beams used to have an amazing sound effect, then they changed it to the wimpy effect it has now :(

Can't agree more. It's been brought up numerous times, but it can't be said enough and I still hate the current beam "farts".

This is why, among other reasons, I play MWO quite a bit nowadays. Energy weapons in that game sound awesome, especially the pulse lasers. Pull the trigger and get a nice deep "wub-wub-wub". That and Clan MGs make the 8xER Med / 4x MG Nova build even more bad ass.

"Tomahawks?"

"----in' A, right?"

"Trouble is, those things cost like a million and a half each."

"----, you pay me half that and I'll hump in some c4 and blow the ---- out of it my own damn self."

The thing i want for lasers is i want beam lasers to have an animation length the same time as their cycle time nothing else...

I just want them to go f1->BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEM->Explosion

instead of f1 Beem beem beem beem rince repeat adnauseum...

Since that's just still a pulse laser and not a tachyon beam cannon...

New sound effects for all turrets would be delightful

frankly its hard to put sound effects into words...so when the devs ask you to be more specific on what sounds you want, what are you going to say?

i have ideas for sounds. **** knows how im going to give them to anyone though lol.

I'd love for beams to sound closer to the way free space beam cannons sounded

freespace beam cannons.

The old beams used to sound really cool. Now they sound a bit dull.

Agreed, even medium pulse lasers used to sound cool. Whoever made the decision for the new turret sounds.....Ugh

Now they sound like......well.....absolute crap.

But, they still look cool!

Yes, yes, and more yes...

... while we are at it...

... I want the old sounds my Stirp Miners used to make back too.

Used to be those things were loud enough I had to turn down the volume of them just to be heard over them on fleet comms! Now they make like a weird hissing noise... and a weak hiss at that... I have heard tires hiss louder than theses things!

CCP!!! BRING BACK THE LOUD AND BOISTEROUS SOUNDS OF INDUSTRY AND COMBAT!!!

We want beauty and elegance coming out of our Video Cards... not the sound card...

What we want coming out of our sound cards is the old school brutality that was as harsh and cold as space itself!!!

GIVE US SOUND OR LOSE OUR MONEY!!!
