Annoying heartbeat .

[rustybathtub_1720]

Is there any real reason to have this gross sound in one's ear? I know it's supposed to be an auditory warning , but it's not necessary since there is a visual indicator on the ship icon. I have been on ships and never heard this pointless noise. Also do you have a gunnery forum ? Thanks.

It's to let you know you've been citadeled.  What icon are you referring to?

Heavy Damage i reckon

Hi, to clarify , yes heavy damage, is there a way to rid the sound , as I did with the music ? I find the gunnery problematic at times since I try to adjust for ship speed (enemy ) and yet accuracy at long range is a problem, I like to take them out far off - particularly in island maps before they get behind  an island. Thanks.

He probably means, that HUGE white section of his ship icon that appears when citideled..

I don't mind the heartbeat, but I do mind that high pitched noise that is supposed to simulate you temporarily losing your hearing. That hurts my ears.

I like this sound a lot better then a another officer telling me we are screwed.

You can try adjusting the sound FX sliders in controls, but you can't get rid of just that sound.  The developers have said that it is the audio equivelent of a concussion... "getting your bell rung" so to speak.  You're not the only one who doesn't like it.

 

Gunnery is affected by your guns dispersion at range, coupled with RNG. Guns on each ship have there own dispersion rating. And RNG is well... just that. random.

I feel like that would be easily done with a Audio Mod if one would ask......

...I'll get to that.

Need a mod to swap it for something Mr Scott would say on Star Trek

A modder can change it too-

There's also that heartbeat music. It's happened to me a few times now - I click on the battle button and I suddenly get disconnected. When I reconnect, I'm already in a match and the heartbeat music is playing. Sometimes, the music changes when something changes in the battle situation (like when the first enemy gets spotted), but other times, I'm stuck with listening to it for the entirety of the battle.
