Does Elite Dangerous need More Music?

[dunnst]

I would also welcome ships radio, which will be able to play stuff from my HDD, tune in internet radio and other stuff, such feature would have potential.

If I'm not mistaken, ETS2 can do that?

I haven't touched the music options in that game.

I normally keep the music very-very low or off as I'm usually listening/watching something else entirely while I play.

Perhaps a little off-topic, but sometimes I wonder, why I cannot broadcast something to all other players in range with just pressing a button, just as truck-drivers can. "Ships radio" can be a future enhanced version of todays comms hub.

Wouldn't that create endless copyrights infringements problems ? Love the idea though.

YES.

And more scifi/ambient music, rather than orchestral or stuff with the egyptian scale (I know, imperial reasons, but it's off putting).
Elite needs more Stranger things kind of music with heavy synth during battle.

Yes more electronic, scifi, space music.

I very much like the epic/orchestra music, it gives me a feeling of really being in space, don't know why. At first I wanted the opiton of Elite 3 (FFE) music, which was really cool at the time, now I'd like to see a Battlestar Galactica sort of music. But generally, I'd agree that the game would definetely benefit from having more music tracks to play.

Wow this Battlestar Galactica OST compilation is amazing!

Needs an ingame mp3 player, sick of having to alt tab for something my ship should have built in.

Yeah so we can stay in-game and immersed.

I don't think it needs more music, just play it more often. I sometimes drive for hours on a planet and hear ambient music only when it randomly kicks in for a rare moment.

Well there's only about 2 soundtracks that are sparsely played while on a planet?

All I need is 4 or 5 folders called "Exploration", "Combat", "Supercruise", etc. where I could drop any MP3 files I want and in which the game will pick them randomely according to the situation. If they add twenty tracks, I'll get tired of them sooner or later anyway.

THIS. That would be amazing.
Only make it also read shortcuts to MP3 files.

When flying my imperial clipper I always have imperial march looped in the background. Some epic moments with imperial march, imperial clipper and imperial station greeting me as trusted ally. Tu tu tu tuututu tuututu TU TU TU tu tutu tu tutu...

I wish ED had some cusom music system. We could add and chose which clip to play in SC, in fight or when docking.

Maybe a selection of 'radio' stations - something like what GTA has to incorporate our varying musical tastes?
