thunderstorms in space! devs watch film gravity on a good surround system and be inspired

they do need an option to switch this affect off whilst atmospheric, the point is there is no atmosphere so it is leading away from its space roots so to speak.............
personnaly I wish there was a realistic sound option were you only hear internal noise of ship engines or being hit due to air inside the ship conveying sound this would give the game an unberlievably erry feeling for eg the rumble heard in the film gravity of the tools on the hull of the ship being conveyd trough the hull and into there space suits now that would be awesome you would still hear the energy build up and discharge of lazers engines ect due to air inside ship but outside dead silence unless struck by fire or debris which would probably sound like being depth charged in a submarine due to the conveyance of sound trough energy transference to shockwave vibration and extremely loud due to the outside silence
amplification effect you get like being in water
the sound of lazer fire inside a ship from external fire would be heard at first as a rapid heat expansion of your hull followed by the micro craking of the hull due to rapid contraction due to the negative temprature of space, the devs would have you believe no sound in space would be icredibly boring but in reality
if done correctly it would be nothing less than awesome,and the debug camera would be given new meaning due to its silence
this would also give new meaning to planetary landings due to entering an atmosphere were thunderstorms belong
so for sims sake make this optional as it is boadering the ridiculous :S
 
yes granted it does kinda as you hear your own breath inside the remlock mask ( sounds correct)
but muxh muxh more could be accomplished to make this game very realistic in the form of a switch for realistic sound mode
and gaming mode
 
The external sounds you hear in Elite Dangerous are simulated by the ship's computer to assist spacial and situational awareness. This makes perfect sense actually.
 
I don't recall reading that on any official documentataion and the sound of thunder in space what is that conveying to situational awareness exactly?
