Suggestion for add-on: Sound packs

Don't know if ever suggested so don't shoot me if it has. After playing two weeks on PS4 (I know most of you have been playing for ages) I'm already tired of the ships computer sounds. Every ship has the same and when I just was watching a youtube video I was really like. "Please sell me some sound packs."

Do not get me wrong. ED has a very good sound library not complaining about that. It's just that if you play so much the ships audio get's very repetitive. Something you don't see with stations. Best way to implement these "sound packs" is probably with a feature that is in very popular demand: HUD color.

I'm guessing some of you have already changed the sounds of your ships or will gladly want share some tips on how to change the color of HUD but remember I'm on PS4. We rely entirely on FD for customization of the game.
 
Was about to recommend HCS voice packs until I saw the ps4 bit, damn out of luck I guess. They are a pretty cool add-on, but only for the pc version, I use "Leo", voiced by Norman lovett (aka Holly from Red Dwarf).

I do agree though, at the very least it would be nice if the ships from each different in-game manufacturer had different computer voices, that's something FDev could possibly implement in the future.

I think it's been suggested quite a while ago (I also made similar ones).

Although the Reverb/Post-FX on the in-Cockpit SFX tries to make some differences, indeed all the SFX for all Ships (except Engine and Idle FX) is the same.

So the Alarm jingles in a Sidewinder are the same like in a Cutter, Corvette or Anaconda.
I'd very much like those Ships to get a far more individual Audio, making the experience of flying them unique.
(in my mind, firing off Alarms in a tiny SLF or Sidewinder should be very different than a 1000ton Vessel sounding Ship-wide Alarms. Like the difference between a bumper-car sounding a tiny Alarm vs. a Battlecruiser firing off it Sirens.)

And on top of that, I wouldn't mind seeing at least Ship Manufacturers use different HUD setups altogether, just so a Gutamaya HUD looks and feels different from a Faulcon DeLacy, Lakon or Core Dynamics.

I personally would love to be able to change the voice of the ship AI.
For example I think it would be awesome for federal ships to have this as their AI

Couldn't agree more with OP about the sound packs. Sooner or later they need to allow customized interiors. This would bundle nicely with a theme pack.

Gutamaya would display everything in ostentatious cursive with light blue.:eek: Core Dynamics would be all caps in red with exclamation points.
