Aegis Gear in Sector Space

edited April 2015 in PC Gameplay Bug Reports
Some part of the Aegis equipment--pretty sure it's the deflector--makes a distinctive humming sound in sector space. If you find this noise annoying (I do), the solution was to zoom out and tilt the camera away from your ship. The further away from your ship you were, the quieter the noise.

Since the new sector space maps came out, the Aegis hum plays at maximum volume regardless of where you position the camera. Since there's no way to turn the hum off (not like "disable visuals" on the other stuff), can this please be fixed?

Thanks so much!

    To turn down the humming sound, you need go into your options menu, sounds and, make changes to the correct adjuster.

    I cannot remember exactly which one it is but, one of them controls it.

    That would certainly work temporarily, but I don't want to turn down something that that affects other sounds if this is the only problem. It would make more sense for them to fix it so that the sound scales with distance like it used to.

    The only other way to disable the sound is to disable the visual effect the get has.

    Right click on item and disable visual.

    But have to admit I've not noticed the noise on my set but I have everything switched off visual wise except the shield visuals coz they look cool.

    The effect on other sounds would be minimal, depending on how far down you actually crank the sound level.
