    Okay this was fun, and it was wise to make optional - but could we get a 'behind the scenes' video for this on Monday? :D

    Now I understand why the game is not repaired.
    It's more important to do these ****
    Meanwhile all the ships that separate the saucers are broken
    New romulus does not work
    And still more
    But not that not
    Well, congratulations on not doing anything productive
    :'(:'(:'(

    You realise the people who work on the audio for STO almost certainly have nothing to do with any of these gameplay bugs?

    Its like complaining that the IT guys in your company had a party, when they should have been fixing the elevators. Its just not their area.

    It's a very weak excuse, how do you think you should think a lot of people who want to enjoy the game as you see they follow the same bugs again and again without making an arrangement ?, you must think that cryptic is laughing in their faces with these "Silly Sounds".

    Loved this artisan sonification system video. It really captures the sound of April the 1st.

    Superb

    Seriously, what? You're wasting your time and our money on this? April Fools joke failed.

    No, it was not ethically sourced. 500 baby seals were clubbed to death with ivory bats to make it. I then used the skin to upholster my 76 Eldorado.

    We need more time to hear all the "truer and more harmonious" sounds. Also did you guys have to get hammered to create them or does that come naturally?

    April fools joke = fail

    Because that's some funny sh&%, just ran a Tholian RA and haven't laughed so hard in a long time. Now, if you were to say it was going to be a permanent option, and then turn around and get rid of it, that would be a good April fools joke.
    LTS and loving it.

    Ditto, guys, this is fantastic Saturday morning fun. My wife hears me laughing and she thinks I've lost my mind over here. Worth it. :smiley:

    btw - You missed one perfect opportunity. I put my ship into reverse and guess what happened. Nothing. No sound.
    Where's the truck backing up * beep * beep * beep * beep * sound?

    You really dropped the ball here, guys. I expect better than that from you.

    I hate to be a killjoy but I have to ask

    Was the healing railgun really an accident and if not, why the heck didn't you add this with the regular maintenence instead of an 'emergency' update that severely screwed up my usual scheduled playtime of sto (and no doubt others from European type locations)

    I'm all for a joke (and its a good one if you isolate it), but if it turns out you guys deliberately forced an emergency maintenence just for this joke, especially as its during a time limited event that has obliterated my plan to stagger my alts so they all get the first contact pack (and doubtless others)

    Well, thats a joke in poor taste.

    This was good. But I still think changing the music in Club 47 to the Cantina Band from star wars would be better. But I get it...copyright issues etc.

    Star Trek has it's own "cantina music."

    Because it appeared after the regular maintenance and they wanted to fix it ASAP since it's a brand new addition and thus having a brand new addition so broken gives a bad taste already, perhaps?

    Thing was though...did you see the size of the railgun fix patch? Theres no way changing a single value would take 600mb so I have to ask -why- the april fools patch was not added at regular maintenence when the healing railgun was an unknown factor until post maintenence?

    Logically ( I'm donning the vulcan ears) the april fools patch would have been added at maintenence rather than with the railgun fix - the only logical conclusion was either a) we were going to get a patch today or b) the railgun was deliberately broken (or at least reported to be broken) so as to allow an upload for the A.S.S

    In which case for a joke, they ruined almost a half a day of my playtime (I had six hours, the maintenence ending just as I had to go offline) which rather ruins the joke for me.

    This is terrible. The fact that I do not have developers in the room where I'm playing making these sounds in person is, well, what else can I say? A total slap in the face. Someone should be saying "zoooooom" for the entire duration of my slipstream IN MY EAR. And I should be able to send one of you to get me coffee whenever I want. What kind of game are you all running?

    Seriously, this is absolutely hilarious and a lot of fun. Thank you very, very much.​​

    Wonderful, truly inspired! Bravi!

    Please keep it as a permanent option (as someone else suggested earlier, put a toggle under the Audio tab in options, so you don't confuse newbies with a HUD button.

    A couple of tweaks:

    1) Destabilized plasma torpedo firing sound - Marvin the Martian saying, "Where's the Kaboom? There's supposed to be an earth-shattering kaboom!" Then when it explodes...Kaboom.

    2) Replace First Contact Day event music with Yakety Sax. (Seriously, have you SEEN the PC's running for parts?)

    3) Remove the option to shift engines into reverse, and when the Player attempts it, instead engage forward Full Impulse and play the clip from Star Trekkin': "Boldly going forward, 'cause we can't find reverse!"

    Again, though, GREAT job on this! Romulan Ale for everybody!

    [EDIT: Whoever recorded the computer console sound "Bor" (was that Borticus?) wins the game. I like the "Pings" (and good pitches, BTW! I've caught at least two different ones...in fact, they just played at the same time, and are in harmony), but "Bor" cracks me up every time!]
