Music during Automatic Docking

[nrkweb]

Please, please, PLEASE make some different tunes to randomly play when entering stations or bases. ELITE has totally ruined my appreciation for "An Der Schönen Blauen Donau", reference to "2001" appreciated though.

I am a trained musician and composer and could provide some tunes, if you haven't an inhouse composer.

Music deeply appreciated though!!

The Blue Danube Waltz playing when the docking computer takes control of your ship is ... a 30+ year old tradition going back to the original Elite. Changing it would be pure blasphemy!

Okay. It's cute the first time.

if you want to be pedantic, the original elite used it as a throwback to Kubrick's 2001 - so it is an almost 50 year old nod to the past (1968)

If you record the whole thing and then play it backwards; you can hear the locations of Alien Bases. You have to be able to speak Austrian of course.

What's a 'Docking Computer'?
Oh yeah...the thing you use so you don't have to pilot your ship while landing. But without the music to listen to what else would you do?

Bask? Or better still, record your Basking, for posterity.

I've disabled my docking computer music because it got so annoying. haha

I don't know what this is about, precisely. I don't use any computer to land and I don't hear any special music while I enter a base to dock.
