Melee weapons should play the TOS fight music

Ok, so this music is already in the game and it's criminally underutilized, only playing in the mission Colosseum:

So I have a request: When we have a melee weapon drawn and enter red alert, instead of playing the STO fight music, play the TOS track instead. Or hell, make special weapons that do this and sell them in the C/Lobi store. Just let me beat things up to this soundtrack more often.

    Cryptic, make it so! :D

    That's actually my favorite thing about the Colosseum mission, the TOS "Mortal Combat" music. Definitely love to be hearing that when I'm taking down Borg Drones with a melee weapon. :cool:

    I've heard of worse suggestions for the game.

    No when you pull out a melee weapon it turns into a miniature Sulu who goes "helloooooooo~"

    Hmm. I might actually buy such a weapon.

    But it might be non-trivial to have the background music affected by your weapon choice.

    But it would certainly raise the quality of the game if this happened more often - choosing different fight music dependent on the enemy or the type of fight, for example. Imagine there was a Borg Theme and a Breen Theme and so on.

    Can Cryptic hire Bear McCreary?
