Make top tier engines sound aggressive

When in normal flight the engines of many ships sound really boring, One would expect a big ship like the conda, Cutter or vette to sound like absolute beasts from hell, But they sound like boring old men sitting in a train yard counting trains whilst eating lettuce sandwiches.

I can understand, For example, Making 8D engines sound "meh" but as it goes up in tier they should start to sound more and more aggressive.

Just an idea.
 
Are you sure you are ready for this to be in game constantly? This might become sort of annoying noise to push players reduce sound till zero.

Maybe what is really must be done - improvement of sound quality (not music). I mean surround effects, deep etc. Then sound from engines can become different.
Also more sound options (separate parts of sound in game: engines, voices, stations etc) also will be good.

I think current sound composition in game is close to ideal - sound and music specialists of FD are not for nothing btw.

Everyone has an opinion, Mine is that the engines currently sound like crap, Some of the boosts sound pretty good but the engines just sound so lacklustre.

You mean like how the Dolphin sounds like a wheezing asthmatic?

You mean like how the ASPX sounds like a single engine Cessna?

Good luck with making the 'conda sound like a Battlestar.

Your comment genuinely made me laugh out loud, I could just imagine a dolphin huffing on an inhaler :D
 
Althought I wouldn't agree that the ships' engines sound bad - To me, it's the effect of the ship's sheer size and bulk reverberating eigines that are firing 75-100m away from the ship's cockpit and through the hull...

The notion that we should hear a difference between E grade and A grade actually sounds rather neat! I'm all in favor of a Cutter's thrusters going from Jetta to Lamborghini as you smash millions into them.
