Starfarer Music?
« on: April 17, 2012, 04:05:18 PM »

Currently there isn't any epic battle suite or dramatic music when you're flying through space and steamrolling fleets in Starfarer, but I'm sure everyone has a playlist somewhere for epic music. So what do you all listen to when playing Starfarer?  :)

Nice music Catra but I'm not sure if it would suit Starfarer.

I have no suggestions myself though, I'm just gonna wait what the developers come up with and hope it's fantastic.

Basically whatever is on my playlist at the moment. While not fitting entirely to gameplay, it's been Sonata Arctica lately. But I'm weird like that ;D

you're right in that it really doesn't fit. starfarer is just too 2d for the music. =P its more suited for games like nexus and homeworld / cataclysm / 2 / soon to be 3 ( though more so nexus than the HW franchise, at least IMO. )

There's so much dubstep in video games already though..... Regardless of whether it fits or not. I mean, Battlefield 3? Really?

The idea is that the various tech levels represent different - not "better" - ways to do things.

You won't be able to refit fighters and bombers at all. They're designed/balanced around having a particular set of weapons and would be very broken if you could change it. Which ones you pick for your fleet -out of quite a few that are available- is the choice here, not how they're outfitted.

Which for me is a wide variety of orchestra, symphonic rock/metal, and some techno/dubstep.

Isn't there anyone who listen to old cartoon shows, atheist experience, lordkat, or something like Noam Chomsky interviews while they play games?

I listen to recordings of Ben Stein on loop while I play.  His voice is incredibly soothing.
