This is a just for fun topic but I recently bought the Iktomi and that thing does not shut up.

I've sat near one of those Vulcan ships that warble away and apparently it's the console that makes the noise.

So are there even more obnoxious ship noises in the game.

    The engine noise from the Na'kuhl ships.

    Oh yeah, the Nakuhl ships.

    I don't see many about these days but a few years back I was parked between three of those and they were perfectly synced up, suffice to say I moved elsewhere fairly quickly.

    Na'kuhl. I have the science ship and I really like her design, but for God's sake, who thought it would be fun if it made a constant annoying buzz?

    Finding them under cloak through sound. Fun times.

    This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.

    Oh yea. The old ones are like fingernails on a chalkboard. I can handle the Advanced Phaser Arrays off the DSC Connie, but the original TOS ones in game? Nope.

    The thing about the TOS phaser (which I mentioned in the "Blue Phaser" thread is that the sound effect was never meant to be repeated with such frequency it is in STO, so 1of them firing with a fairly low ROF isn't too bad, but 6-8 at once with a typical STO ROF is aural torture, that's why I like the Advanced phasers myself they have similar sound but it's deeper so it isn't as grating to the ears.

    Oddly enough I don't mind the TOS Phasers too much. Though I don't much care for the Quantum Phase torp spread noise, I swear I can hear those things on the other side of the map.

    The Bozeman hyper impulse engine is very annoying. I doubt anyone uses it, though.
    Now a LTS and loving it.
    Just because you spend money on this game, it does not entitle you to be a jerk if things don't go your way.
    I have come to the conclusion that I have a memory like Etch-A-Sketch. I shake my head and forget everything. :D

    I find that there are plenty of annoying noises in STO to go around. The ambient noise is the worst, enough to give me a headache. So I have most of the volumes set to 0.

    Electrified Anomalies. Could it possibly be any louder? You're pretty much not going to hear anything else if you're using it

    Especially when multiple pugs have it going at the same time during briefing.

    The standard antiproton pew pew is also grating , I wish there was an option to tick on weapons or consoles to remove their sound as you can for certain graphic effects like the assimilated console. Same with engines I like the sol engines look I just cant be doing with the sound. (sorry sound effects department)
    Laddy, don't you think you should... rephrase that??

    I've discovered something even more annoying, which isn't even ship related.

    "There'll be a short down time for the exchange at 14:00"

    I don't normally go inside ESD outside of boff ability buying but I've been scooping emerald chain stuff up on all my toons before the prices go up and the above phrase really grates after 10 minutes.

    Honestly its just background noise at ESD. Makes the station feel a bit more alive.
    What I wanna know is who did something stupid enough that we need a "reminder that the waterfalls are not a recreational area".

    Someone got drunk.

    Now we need a Klingon Security Officer next to the pool with the large torches by the bank/exchange complaining about people not holding their Bloodwine. ;)

    The Background noise at ESD wouldn't be too bad (it's kind of like the PA at an airport) if there's more the 5 lines (well I dunno how many lines there are exactly but there's way too few).

    I only use it for Visuals, perhaps that's what most use it for.

    Far as the noisiest I couldn't say off the top of my head. Far as some candidates that could take the crown potentially I can think of a few.

    -Vaadwaur Polaron Space weapons
    -standard Antiproton beams
    -TOS or Advanced Phaser types
    -Bozeman engines at times
    -certain beacon abilities

    I'm one of the weird folks that use them on occasion depending on what I'm doing. Of course I'm sure that's not a surprise by now.
