I want the ability to set a sound effect to a person, and when that person shows up on radar, the sound plays.

Imagine the infinite possibilities and bow in my awesome idea-ness.

[WileE]

Yeah, then when you jump into a sector with 100 pilots around the gate your head will explode.

your idea-fu is no match for mine.

[Jump]

netburnr I will be sure to set your pilot name to a fart sound.

[netburnr]

See what I mean, the possibilities are endless.

For example, when I see Liet jump in, it can play Bad to the Bone

And when Jump comes in I can make it play Sex and Candy.

Endless awesome potentialness. ND must put this in.

Actually, the more I think about it, playing "White and Nerdy" might be more appropriate for netburnr.

Seriously though, it would become annoying fast when fleets jump in.

[netburnr]

Ok, also make it so when a person first F4s you, like a custom ringtone for your cellphone.

And I am soooooo White and Nerdy.

Depending on the info available to the flashable UI, this feature could be added in later by some enterprising flash artist.

What would be even cooler would be an adaptive soundtrack.

For hauling heavy, it plays some trucker classics
For mining it would play 30's era workin' man's music (think "16 tons")
If you get jumped, it would switch to suspense/thriller type music
If you attack someone, it switches into rock and roll

The possibilities are endless.

I wonder if someone will figure out how to integrate a JGRadio tuner onto the HUD? I want a hotkey to cut just the radio's volume to half so I can hear whatever else is going on in the game at that moment. Then another one to crank it back up.

So many possibilities in a flashable UI. It will be really interesting to see what all the developers expose to the UI artists.

Teetleton, perhaps the sounds of screaming brakes and tires prior to a crash/splash as part of a collision alert?

Cue the thriller music for hostile approaches...pirates in sector, or known hostiles show up on radar...even a "Battle Stations" "Battle Stations" and a klaxton as the first weapon fire comes crashing in.

I don't want the devs to waste any time on this idea net, but it IS interesting!

Would you rather they spend time on this or adding level +2 thorns?

Thats what I thought.

[Jump]

+2 Thorns ftw

[Lordopic]

Id rather they spent getting the game right then spend any time on any of the above crap!
