Hello, as a follow up to this thread: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=111579 , I'd like to gather your opinions on the new Imperial Clipper sounds, a poll will be up shortly (if I figure out how to put it up) to get your short answers and feel free to elaborate on why you like or dislike the new sound.

I for one, strongly dislike them, the 1.0 Clipper sounded perfect, really, nothing else, know that it has changed, its sound feels very awkward and... ugly (?). This is why I'll be the first to "officially" oppose the Clipper sound changes and ask for a revert on this asap/in the next update.

But please this thread is made to gather your opinions, go ahead

took forever to upload... Recording software tanked my fps so it judders like hell. Anyway, you can hear the sound difference once the ship reaches full speed and i start rolling the ship.

If it's not getting changed, fair enough, i can fly other ships. But hopefully it is something that can be adjusted fairly easily.

Ear of, in this case. I don't think the sound has changed, but lots of formerly quiet sounds have been turned up.

Speaking of sounds that we don't like: is the Python 0 velocity thruster sound new to 1.1? I didn't fly the ship prior to beta, but it's certainly peculiar. Not very... 'Thrustery'

The engine sound reverberates more which I kind of like.

On the other hand...

The "stretching kittens" sound of rolling thrusters is worse than fingernails on a chalkboard.

That's almost enough to never want to fly the clipper again. Really please for the love of god change the roll thruster noise to something less... ouch on the ears.

The old sound was great. It was like a Scuby's turbo whine on crack. I'm glad they've kept the bang of the booster but the new sound is, as you say stretching kittens.

I beg you, please change it back!

Am still not in the live game, does it still sound the same as Beta? It's just that roll sound lol, it would drive anyone crazy after a while. Oh well, looks like I'll be selling mine and putting the money to good use. It's a shame, I really loved that ship.

It's not just the clipper. It's the T6 as well.
I noticed a new high end sound component to rolling thrusters just now, like the whine of the turbofan of a jet engine.
I also noticed the deeper bass sound when the engine was under full power.

I'm trying to be fair and give the new sounds a chance, but right now I find the new high pitched bit annoying.

Yes it does sound as it did in Beta, I would have loved a more detailed changelog...

Haven't had the chance to go live yet but the sounds don't sound right in the clip (as is in sounds wrong rather than just changed).

Sounds aside - how do you fly with your FOV set like that - its horrible. :)

It's called an Oculus rift dude ;) When you are inside it the view is 'MUCH BETTER' :)

Including the roll sound? Did you get to the roll sound?

Yeah I think this needs to be clarified for some people. The issue is 'ROLL' at high speed, the rest of the sounds have changed and sound ok, the 'roll' sound is screwed. I couldn't imagine anyone voting that the roll sound is an improvement.

The Asp doesn't growl as much as it did which is disappointing. Didn't see any reason for that to change.

And oh joy I've just had to force quit the game after being stuck in hyperspace (OT, my apologies).
