Hallo

I dont know, why, who did green light the "new" explosion sound. In my view, its annoying, to sharp, to loud, and old fashion.
What was the reason to do it? The "old" sound, was a nice smooth intresting sound. Now it sounds like a gameboy soundeffect.

Probably the same guy that made sure the gong made it back into the game. I think they've mistaken the deaf, mentally challenged janitor for their sound design guy.

Sounds like a thunder. Always the same thunder. And way too loud in comparison to all the other sounds. Shooting sounds vanish with distance, but that sound remains "close". (Which is just wrong btw, in space theres no medium to transport sound, but anyway).
We're in beta, I presume.

It was in lore somewhere that the sounds you hear are actually a simulation fed to you by your ship's systems.
