Sound effects options

Hey,

is there any reason why I can't deactivate ambiente sounds (whales in speez) or the interface clickering? Why can't I tweak these effects while I can tweak several other things like different music tracks?

Cheers!

The weird ambient sounds are just the eldritch beings of deep space trying to communicate, and the funny part is I'm only half joking here, check out all the spectrometry messages that people have discovered.

Maybe. But whatever it is, I want to have the option to disable it, because it's a game. Like I can disable blur or headbobbles or camera shaking, it is making me anxious and annoyed and for me, it's an accessibility feature.

It started when the thargoid titans invaded the bubble, and persisted after they were destroyed. Like they're not totally destroyed. I think those sounds can only be heard while docked on planets. I was on a planet when Cocijo was in its final hours, at an engineer outpost, I sat and listened for a while, it was mesmerizing, eerie, and sounded like a trapped tortured creature.

I do not believe there is any way to disable the sfx, i do believe it is there to add a haunting ambiance of that war, and a reminder that it's probably not over.

I don't care. The other solution is to disable sound completely. I understand your feelings and Elite is know for it's great sound effects (and sound / music is a BIG part of games! Please never underestimate that) HOWEVER I want to have the option to disable it seperately. It's just annoying when I want to casually play with booms and bangs while listening to my own music.

That's where the easter eggs and audio puzzles are played so you have to turn all sound off. They won't let you specifically disable the little gubbins because it makes finding hidden stuff too easy.

That's the second time that you suggest this to me. You do know how a forum work, right? Or why are you telling me that?

Sooo... that's the reason? Because of that it can't be done? And you think that is a GOOD reason too?

Okay, but I don't care. I can mute music. I can mute sound effects. I can mute speech. Why can't I mute interface sounds and ambiente ? There's still no reason. Thanks for the feature, but when I don't want to participate here, I also don't want to listen to that. Why is that an issue for some?

Or do we argue now that we also remove "disable camera shake" because it's a space game and it should be "felt" like a space game and without shaking it's not right ?
