  Okay before i get into my favs who here thinks Cryptic should diversify with their soundtrack?
  Its the same thing! Over and over again. The only good one is on New Romulus.
  
  So enough ranting...what do you guys listen too while you play Trek?
  
  I myself prefer specific types of music depending on what i'm playing like when STO: LOR launched i played the original BSG opening to make the beginning mission look like the opening to the show....it worked too, you should try it.
  
  When i'm in a PVP mission i prefer the newer songs that have more bite like for example something that goes pow when i fire my alpha and pop a ship, like for example Summer of 69' with that heavy electric guitar really gets you into the fighting rhythm.
  
  but the best thing....when your done PVPing and a heavy blasting of fast paced rock, do what i like to call Starship Watching. Like in show we are very different from one another and its interesting to see all the different combinations people can dream up and some of the names are hilarious. So put someone on like Micheal Buble (he kind of reminds of Vic on DS9), choose one of his slow tunes like you would for cruising and set your warp factor down to three or four and watch the show roll by and the beauty of sector space on your way to the next starbase to refresh your ship.
  
  So enough about me....what do you guys do instead of that crummy opera.

  
  I listen to BBC Radio 2 and Comedy broadcasts on BBC Radio 4 through the BBC Iplayer and have Doctor Who Soundtracks from series 1-6 on Itunes

  I listen to a variety of things - even have videos playing on a second monitor. For more aggressive play, i live to progressive, house or even the rare trance track.
  
  As for game music, i get why STO won't necessarily have new music all the time. It's expensive to license.
  
  The Club on ESD - seriously needs better tracks.
  
  New Romulus - is uplifting and amazing.
  
  Coliseum - OMG, I want more of that.
  
  Here's a thought: give us the ability to 'stream' music stream on our starbases. Fleet members then pipe in music to the dance floor.... anyone?

  After the first week of playing I muted the in-game music and let WMP handle my soundtracks.
  
  For my Fed I started off with a lot of space rock, prog and arena rock: David Bowie, Pink Floyd, Hawkwind, Rush, Genesis, U2, Kyuss, Muse, 30 Seconds to Mars, The Killers, Arcade Fire.
  
  My KDF got the heavy metal, metalcore, and hard rock: Metallica, Megadeth, Judas Priest, Slayer, early Iron Maiden, Avenged Sevendfold, Atreyu, lostprophets, Bullet For My Valentine, Chevelle, System of a Down, Rise Against, Queens of the Stone Age, Rage Against the Machine
  
  As the two characters developed, despite being specifically created to explore different aspects of my own personality, they sort of met in the middle, and now I use the same soundtrack for both, heavy on a blend of prog metal and power metal: Coheed & Cambria, later Led Zeppelin, Wolfmother, later Iron Maiden, Dragonforce, Rhapsody, Kamelot, Hammerfall, In Flames with all the above (and most of the below) mixed in.
  
  My Romulan gets a lot of Christian metal and metalcore to capture that "us against the world" feel, mixed in with some rock acts with a powerful female lead (my Romulan character is a girl): As I Lay Dying, Demon Hunter, The Devil Wears Prada, Killswitch Engage, Underoath, Skillet, Dead Sara, Florence + The Machine, Flyleaf, Shiny Toy Guns

  love the music, just want more. i'd think more in-game talk radio rather than blasting some hatebreed in your ear.

  When I first started playing STO, I was listening to Coheed and Cambria's Year of the Black Rainbow pretty hardcore. That album puts me in the STO state of mind every time.
