Ship horn button (noise in space)
« on: March 07, 2023, 12:01:30 AM »

Okay, this is a silly idea. But what if SS had a button to sound the ship's horn? I know, I know, no sound in space, but perhaps a ship is simply shouting into all comms channels with simulated horns.... Drive bubble ping, local hyperwave distortion, whatever you want to call it. ;D

As a bonus, it'd be fun to hear pirates toot the horn while burn driving into battle.

we already do. it's called the interdiction pulse. great for scaring away hyperspace ghosties.
[ I'm on a deadline dammit quit draining my drive field! ]

fun fact: do it enough eventually you'll come across some flavour text when visiting a bar. apparently other spacers don't like it when you "shout" at the ghosts.

If the ghosts didn't wanted to be shouted at then they should stop bullying my drive field!

Right, right, but I want one with a blaring audio ... and for in-combat use.  ;D

Have a look at the HMI mod.
There is a ship (or rather "ship") that literally honks at enemies as part of its active system.

Unlikely there will be anything like that in vanilla, so this is probably it as close as you'll get.
