Strange sound during combat

[cucher]

I've noticed that every time you combat, the sound of scratching metal appears. It's the same "bouncing & scratching" sound which you hear from 2 stations of fab complex then they placed too close to each other.
Is it normal? IMHO it's better to be removed from sounds of battle ...

I assumed it was meant to be the sound of projectile impacts.

[cucher]

No, no! It's periodical sound and don't belongs to impacts. Just listen next time.

[Carlo the Curious]

/shrug. I only hear it on impacts (specifically from EMPCs).

[cucher]

For example: I attacked Kah's Corvette and 2 Fighters. You know, they have beam weapons only. But I heard that sound till the end of the battle.

[BugMeister]

there are definitely problems with the sound integration
Betty has a habit of repeating things when I jump to another sector..

[cucher]

Yes, BugMeister. Also hear those parts of strange phrases (usually %'s of jumpdrive charging) from her...

Hi,

I've noticed this too...at least I think it's the same thing...

A sound plays & you assume it's a weapon hit sound cos you're in combat, however paying closer attention you realise that the sound plays again even though not shots are being exchanged at that moment.

So, it's like fire...hit sound...fire...hitsound.....hitsound. Almost like a delayed echo...well, that's what I've noticed.

Cheers,

Scoob.

[cucher]

Exactly!

I noticed them too, specially with the terran weapon that you have when you start in the terran start (cant remember the name right now).

I shoot, it hits shields, and after a second or 2.. clank! heared it in other ocations.

Also frag bomb launcher explosion sound when they reach max distance sounds like flaks, very noisy.

Hi, noticed this as well. To start with i assumed the weapon hit sound for EMP was the same as the collision sound for some reason, but closer inspection revealed it has its own hit sound and the collision sound appears to be going off at unrelated times.

[BugMeister]

hey - that's happened to me a couple of times as well, Algoran..
- I actually thought I was being rammed at one stage...!!

I've often heard Betty repeating "..activated" over and over during the jump-transition screen
- sometimes almost right into the next sector..

- very odd, but that's Betty for you..
- IMO, she's been at the Space Fuel..!!
