Humble Request: Please add more combat music

[iforgotmysocks]

The only reason i'm often turning off the ingame music altogether is as we get to hear the same soundtrack 24/7 when enemies are around. The long pauses between tracks (in case we get a chance not to hear combat music) are a bit confusing aswell, can this be fixed?

I think this should be in the top 5 list of priorities! The repetitive combat music gets painful.

And if it's not too much trouble, please see if you can get the combat music to quit playing after docking on a station near a minefield or local area battle.

Also of note, the general background music is one of my favorite things about the x-series in general and in X4 it does not crank up as often as preferred. It seems to only play when traveling and far away from anything.

yeah from a technical perspective this is a minor issue but from a player experience issue its huge. i also had to turn off the music to continue enjoying the game, because the combat music was both intrusive and repetitive.

I think the same.
I would also love to hear different intensities depending on the level of the threat.
Some alarm-sound if a enemy is targeting the player would also be great. Instead of allways playing the full-on battle music if another single xenon-n is near.

even with mods that remove battle music I turned it off completely, the songs never play more then 30 seconds, usually there is no music at all

totally void of enjoyment

I guess part of the problem is the soundtrack is too short in total length/tracks. It's so short it would repeat itself very fast if it would play all the time.
But yes, silence is not a solution here...

btw. there are plenty of topics allready about general music

I think we aren’t supposed to revive older threads, though, and I didn’t see a recent one about this.

It’s definitely a big issue. I’ve had great results sending Bernd a short bullet list of items like this, so I’ll probably do that again. This will probably be near or at the top. If anyone has other high priority things to improve that could possibly be done in the short term (so e.g., new ships probably doesn’t qualify), please let me know!

Here's one: "Make X great again!"

I'd love to have the option to disable combat music altogether. I already do this with a mod, but I would like such an option for my vanilla playthroughs.
