Greetings from Vulcan,
\\//_ LL&P


What kind of music do you listen to while plaing STO ?
Any favorite tracks ?
Do you listen to the STO Soundrack (Main theme is quite good for STO) ?

I like listening to "First Contact - Main Theme"
Get's me right into it...

I also cycle through all the main themes from the television shows (except the odd Enterprise Theme - a bit too Rod Stewart for my tastes)

And I also really enjoy listening to "The Inner Light" from TNG Episode "Inner Light" Symphony edition.


So, what about you guys ?... What get's you amped up to play STO ?

    Mostly my own music created and written by me. I have a few pulse pounding pieces that get me fired up to tear through some space battles and stuff. Nothing I am comfortable sharing quite just yet, but perhaps after I?ve refined them a little I?ll set them up for free downloads.

    Lately its been a lot of either Daft Punk (particularly the soundtrack from Tron Legacy), or the soundtrack from the Guilty Gear games.

    Actually, I usually have movies and tv shows playing in the background; "Monty Python and the Holy Grail", "Destination Truth", "Mission: Impossible" (The series, not the movies)...

    Right now, since I can't play the game for the last two weeks, I'm listening to the cabin fever song from Muppet Treasure Island...
    "If you can't take a little bloody nose, maybe you ought to go back home and crawl under your bed. It's not safe out here. It's wondrous, with treasures to satiate desires both subtle and gross; but it's not for the timid." -- Q, TNG: "Q-Who?"
    ^Words that every player should keep in mind, especially whenever there's a problem with the game...

    Yup, The Tron Soundtrack would fit nicely with STO.
    My friend bought it for me a few years back. Really nice tracks on that disc for video gaming :)

    When I play nowadays I generally listen to radio stations like BBC Radio 2, my kind of music ranging from the 70's to today.

    Used to listen to Doctor Who Official soundtracks

    I find it suits the awesomeness of the Sphere (Much more so than the bleedin' Nukara theme anyway :confused:)

    I usually listen to the heavier stuff...Slayer, Motorhead, Megadeth, Venom, Pantera, Sepultura, stuff like that. When I'm in the mood for something mellow I usually put on Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Dio, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple. Great tunes for pew-pewing, in my opinion anyway.

    When in the New Areas I usually listen to the New Native Soundtrack as it is really exquisite...

    When in the Old Areas or Generic Ones I usually fire up either some Space/Future Ambient or the X Soundtrack :)

    Don't Forget Mass Effect 1
    Had several excellent themes.

    ILOS THEME - Going thru the bunker to the ancient computer :D
    Great scene, and the music is so perfect. put a lump in my throat, and sent shivers down my spine.
    Would love to have all the Mass Effect Soundtracks.

    I discovered that I had become an old man when I realised that all but a very few select bands that released music after 1996 were $h!t.

    Therefore, as you may well have guessed, I listen to most things pre-1996.

    (What's that sonny? Well, let me tell YOU about things when I was a mere slip of a lad...)

    BBC Radio 1's Essential Mix. I record the streams if they're worth it. At two hours each, they're some of the best house/trance on the planet.

    I listen to a few things.

    -Various Command and Conquer soundtracks
    -RWBY soundtrack (I Burn is oddly fitting for my Science Caitian... probably because I use the Physicist kit and BURN things! :rolleyes: Yea... Blaze the Cat is a bit of a Pyro... just wait until she gets her paws on the Plasma Flamer.)
    -Halo Wars soundtrack
    -Battleship soundtrack (The tracks Art of War, Super Battle, and Battle on Land and Sea work pretty well for space battles)
    -Battle: Los Angeles soundtrack
    -Star Trek (2009) soundtrack
    -Star Trek Into Darkness soundtrack
    -Star Trek (Game) soundtrack
    -Legend of Zelda music for when I'm running around New Romulus...

    Yea... I be weird at times. :D

    I prefer the soundtrack from the PS1 game "Colony Wars". It's an amazing soundtrack, especially the songs "Opus Beta", "Feeling the Heat of Sol", and "Diomedes", for which one of my ships is named.

    don't listen to music tracks these days, after listening to a set of music tracks over a few times it becomes noise in the background. i tend to keep any music off. the closest i have come to music is listening to enemy ships go pop.
    T6 Miranda Hero Ship FTW.
    Been around since Dec 2010 on STO and bought LTS in Apr 2013 for STO.
