    Proposed Vehicle Sound Additions
    • a high pitched like prohibited sound that pulses are few times when vehicle is overheated
    • a beep that notifies the user when the hull is suddenly damaged
    • a beeping sound that notifies the user when the hull is critical and continues to play until the vehicle is repaired to a higher level.
    • reloading sounds when vehicle weapons are reloading

    It makes the game more intuitive and gives it a more immersive feel. Empires is kind of dry as it is in terms of atmosphere.

    Sounds good, but can we limit the sound that plays when you're low to about 5 seconds? It would get really annoying after a while.

    Anyone who's played pokemon knows why having beeping while on low health sucks.

    it would only be on REALLY LOW health. if you got out and repaired it the sound would stop quickly

    Under Consideration means nothing anyway, that's why I don't move threads there any more. I have to agree that I did consider for a moment that the annoying sound of low hull-health could be a pain in the ass, and actually thought of Pokemon as an example of that. But there's no reason the sound couldn't be dropped to like 20% volume after the first 5 seconds of it.

    Putting threads in Under Consideration does make the people who made the suggestion feel better. :)

    Perhaps we should have a separate category for "polish" suggestions that would minimally effect gameplay. That way we can ignore them forever. :p

    If you think even for a second that I give the slightest shit about making people feel better, then all I can say is that you must have one fucking awesome crack dealer.

    It's kinda strange how your implying that a positive attitude has to come from psychoactive drugs. Does someone need a hug?

    the low health thing doesn't have to be constant, it could just be like a wee oo that goes off 3 times then you get to and repair/abandon the vehicle.

    Also the reload sounds we "have" sucks, it sounds like some kind of unjamming mechanism that is getting jammed.

    My point being that I won't assign useless tags to a thread to make someone feel better.

    yeah. the game needs more sounds like the lock-on sound of homing/tracking missles. its cool and makes the game look more polished. Also, there should be blinking lights too.. like "DANGER DANGER" or "CAUTION CAUTION" lol
