I think it would be nice to turn off mining laser and simlar sounds if players wanted to. I know we can turn off some sounds, but I would like to hear if someone is targeting me ( or me them ) without the sound of lasers in the foreground.

If there is a way please let me know, if not I hope the devs will look into it.

Turn the world volume slider in audio to 0. The target warning and audio alerts will stay the same if you leave the UI volume alone.

I don't always use hax. But when I do, it's because I'm an NPC.. http://i.imgur.com/PUZou.jpg

And for the love of all that is holy fix that salvager noise. I don't mind listening to it when I am performing the operation but when it's still going 3 ships later, 25 jumps away from when I last acitivated it, and over an hour has gone by, well, it starts to get a little old.

Do you smell what the Lock's cooking?

I thought it was just me because no one was raising an unholy ruckus on the interwebs over it.

I stopped salvaging wrecks because of this glitch.

I had similar issues with acceleration gates.

The easy workaround is to go to the escape menu, turn sound off, wait a second and then turn sound back on.

Fixed every sound issue for me, so far.

I am zoomed out, in a different ship 3 jumps away when this finally gets to annoy me. It seems to be fixed now by CCP though. I also knew to turn some volumes off.

Thanks anyways all

Thank you CCP for fixing the salvager loop. I don't suppose you could stop the stargates from tearing a hole in the space-time continuum now could you?
