TAS background music and classic Suspense Cues?

The background music is currently pretty good, but could be far more atmospheric if we had some old animated series music when, for example, running a ground mission:

I would also love to see some of those classic music cues used strategically (the animated series had these too, but this one is from TOS) :

It would be great to have that music cue play when something big happens during a mission (like when an Undine is revealed, or I finally find that last rock to scan on an exploration mission, lol)

    I'd love the 'ship battle' music from the TOS. No idea what the bit was named, or referred to, but it was classic.

    are you referring to the Doomsday Machine theme song?

    If so I can think of one mission in particular in STO where that music would be pretty appropriate.

    Maybe it's just random, but it does seem that the music frequently starts to build to a climax as I'm whittling my target's hull down to nothing, going to a triumphant finish after I've defeated them.

    But maybe I'm only noticing the instances where the music fits the situation.

    LOL ... love it how they are all just slouching all over when the camera is taking the bird's eye view in the first shot @0m15s.

    I don't think it's that one. I know it's not the Amok Time fight music either that I saw. My search-fu is weak, and the best I could find is this clip. Except the music I am thinking of is only for the first 10 seconds of it.

    I just remember it was the music that typically played when the Enterprise was facing off against another ship, and Sulu's combat viewer-thing was coming out of the console.

    hey sure, consider it a petition. Anyone else want to weigh in?

    Yes we need more combat music!

    We also need the eerie music such as the music from catspaw or Guardian of forever. Or that simple eerie alien sound effect/music when ever they beamed down to an alien planet.

    and can't leave the Klingons out!

    More music would be nice. Background, and combat.

    Also, an orchestral version of the Picard Song. That'd rock.

    the beginning of this clip is the music I would suggest for any time we engage the Borg. It would add so much menace and atmosphere.

    actually ALL the music from the Best of Both Worlds episode was EPIC. It really should be used in the game:
