bout time for a music revamp

bulldogmacragge

we have had the same backround music for almost 4 years now. I understand there are other priorities but just a little bit of love to the music would be much appreciated.

It was time for a music revamp four years ago. We've been asking for new and/or improved music since launch. I'm afraid they don't see it as priority.

Makes no difference to me I never have music playing while in game, for me it adds nothing to the game accept grates on my nerves. I do this for almost every game I play because most in game music is on a loop, so once you've heard it multiple times it's time to shut it off.

most of ppl mute game music in mmos so think this is main reson why is hard to convince devs to add bigger soundtracks in game

+1 for this, god i hate that generic space combat track by now

odd thing is, with past few seasons we ended up getting quite a lot of new tracks spread across various episodes/areas/content blocks : but they are VERY mission/area specific

been forever since anything was added to the generic music pool/playlist ( hell id be happy if the game just cycled them all regardless of ingame settings )

Just as long as they don't change the Theme/Title music...

We have music?

*turned off the music audio in 2010*

I would love to have more tunes in the game. More diversity so they don't seem so repetitive as they seem now.
It would be particulary nice to get some faction specific ones as well, so for ex. KDF players in Omega Leonis would have that trademark Klingon battle tune.

The game has music? :eek:

I think that it is a resounding no to a BGM revamp

You have an interesting interpretation of 'resounding' I must say.

I like STO's music. Very 'Trek' feeling.

Why is it time for this now? Why wasn't it time for this last week? Why isn't next month the time for this? What is it about this particular moment that makes it time for a music revamp?

its not a priority, its not even essential or recommended. if they had a different classification of severity in for the highest gets upgraded first, music would probably be in the low priority category. so if they ever got around to it, it would probably be years from now especially if there is some sort of ground breaking computer code that revolutionizes music and how to get ultra high quality from a fraction of the current music track size and if it coincides with the music quality not being as good at the time, then it would likely see an upgrade, but an outright change to get more new music? probably not, in order to save money.

The fact that there aren't any bigger priorities, apparently, than being able to change ships anywhere in Sector Space so it's obviously "start at the bottom of the priority list and work our way up" time?

Wonder why people think that was such a huge deal on Cryptic's end. For all we know, one guy did it in his spare time while everyone else was working on Season 9...

The only piece I genuinely despise is the choral piece found in some missions. It reminds me a lot of some really bad 1960s experimental music my Dad had on LPs.

alexmakepeace

I just made a similar plea yesterday, for music from the movie soundtracks. So far there's nothing but deafening silence in reply.

farmallm

I still listen to it. But usually I just ignore it.

I agree we need a revamp, put in more of the theme songs from the Shows and movies. With all the movies and shows you can have a lot of nice theme songs. For the KDF you can throw in the special KDF songs. Even the ones they sing.

Started a thread on this a month ago. Was shut down by other fans so now I replace music with a selection pieces from Trek movies. My favorites are Theme from Undiscovered Country and Kronos Wartet.

sernonserculion

They have added some since the start. I remember, for we asked, and it was delivered. You just don't forget that kind of thing. Much of it is from the very beginning granted. Like that "Opera Guy", or what they used to call him. :P

I like the new theme they added with Legacy of Romulus and the Star Trek Fanfare when you enter Sirius, as well as the Colliseum music, but everything else seems rather uninspiring. I rather play the actual Trek soundtracks.

I wish they had the best of both worlds Borg theme for some of the Borg missions.

Like all games, the OST is hit or miss. I think STO has some great music: the club music are favorites of mine. There's also one exploration music that sounds like a TOS song which I absolutely love. The Romulan Battle themes, the Cardie ones and a few of the Klingon fight musics are great. The Gorn battle themes as well as the Borg ones are lack luster. But the game does have great pieces like Battle Group Omega or the Undine Battle metal piece or the S.S. Azura Rescue theme.

That said some of the more un-melodic pieces feel uninspired (sorry Kevin Manthei!) and I wish they could use some of the tracks from Star Trek Starfleet Academy by Ron Jones. Especially this piece: called "Exploring the Unknown." But all in all, STO has a decent soundtrack.

It was a joke music / sound get it now :P

donkeybong420

yeah needs new music

stuart1965

I have mentioned this before about new music.
Suggested was 2 pieces of music or something similar to,
In startrek 2. reliant attacks.
In startrek 3. stealing the enterprise.

Something new,more base music and alot more dramatic too.
Lord knows if it will ever happen though.

the cardassian battle theme 2 had a nice pace to it, cross between cardassian feel and the maquis song from voyager right at the start, the one i cant find on youtube. i tended to try keep the music going on loop in fighting as much as possible otherwise try to quickly find another fight :P.
