I wish different class weapons SOUNDED different.

Am I the only one that got giddy when they fitted class 3 pulse lasers onto their new Vulture and watched these massive laser guns pop into the hardpoints...only to sound exactly the same as some stock sidewinder pulse lasers?


I think it's even more apparent because of how good the sound design is everywhere else in the game. Each ship's thrusters all have their own unique sound, even boosting sounds a bit different in every chassis, so why does a large pulse laser sound the same as a small one? It doesn't even *look* the same, it's not just a small one scaled up...


C'mon FD, I want my large weapons to *sound* large, please :D


(or just give me C3 multi-cannons so I can be an A-10 Warthog in space)
 
Umm.... pulse lasers of different sizes actually DO sound different. More powerful the larger they are.

I had to intently listen, but you are right. I still feel that the difference is way too subtle compared to how different they look...it's not like a C3 laser's appearance is a subtle change from a C2...
 
Perhaps the bigger ones could even have different colors, reflecting their power. There's only so far you can go with a red laser, unless that's just a visual aid and we're actually using ultraviolet or something.
