Open Letter - I want my clonk back

Dear Frontier, I request a return of the docking lock clonk sound. It use to bring me joy, now it's gone. On behalf of humanity I urge you, draw a line in the sand, say we will regress the game no more and make progress towards the great journey ahead with a single step. Make that single step the restoration of docking clonk.

No, no, NO!!!!!

The way it was in EDH was wrong! You got the first klonk when you are still 5 meters in the air above the pad, then you got another one when you actually touched down. Totally unrealistic! In EDO you just get a small sound when you stop above the pad, then the normal klonk when you actually touch down. Much better. I actually can’t believe they fixed it, to be honest, but I’m glad they did! Give it another listen with this in mind. You might like it…

Its a muted electronic fizzle sound effect when you get locked to pad now. Not a CLONK. You're fired.

I think you’ve misplaced your clonk - I have a very definite clonky clonk as my Cobra touches down, at just the right moment as the landing skids clonk onto the clonk-pad.

Good luck finding it 👍
 
For those of us who use a Butt Kicker it's even more annoying because the deflating balloon sound that you now get doesn't even create that satisfying shake as the clamps take hold.

I REALLY don't even understand why the changed it, surely that's one thing they could have just left as is.
