Destroyer weapon sound fix? - Devs on the case.

[mr.WHO]

Since my question with missing Terran Accelerators was a sucess, here is another finding from steam workshop:

Current destroyer sound:

Fixed sound:

So the question is, is the "broken" sound a bug or a feature? I find it odd that the "new" destroyer weapon sound is played only on first shot in burst and all following shots only play the old 1.0 puny "pew pew pew" sound.

If not, then this is not explained in official manner.

Indeed, I think KOSH "jumped the gun" in declaring that it it working as intended.

[mr.WHO]

He simply explained why, technically it's like that, but there is no official answer from Egosoft if this was intended, or simply a bug that was overlooked.

We are aware of this issue - Markus will take a look as soon he has time.

No he is not affiliated with Egosoft.

[|K.O.S.H.]

No, I'm not.

I was just annoyed and changed it for me.
I also thought, that it's intended.

[Falcrack]

"WHOOSH, pew, pew, pew" never seemed right to me!

I thought the "Woosh" was intended. Mind you I've never utilised the Main guns of the other destroyers to uhh...compare.

They are all the same, just with different hues of pulse L turret projectile. Terran ones are the only exception.
I wonder if there are any plans to diversify the destroyer guns down the line. Right now we have 4 flavors of pulse, that feel like one another when used, and one bolt. Would be cool to get unique projectiles and SFX for each one.

I really thought this was intended... surely it was!? Rather than 'fixing' it perhaps you are simply considering changing it, egosoft? The same thing happened with spinning flak and terran destroyer projectiles (Which I really liked too).
I for one like how it works... sounds could be better and I hate that sound cuts out if you release the mouse, but the concept of followup shots in a salvo making a different noise than the first shot is cool.

You have a weird taste.

<Yep, it was me bichn' about spinning flaks till the got fixed >

I thought the spinning projectiles looked neat, but were an odd creative choice for a something labeled "flak cannon." I'd like to see the concept applied to another, more science-fiction-y weapon at some point.

I thought this, as well: the initial sound denoting a "spin up" of the guns, as with the bolt repeater. If it is kept, it can still be improved in several ways, like the audio cut-out you mentioned. I'd like it if there were a persistent, looping background sound effect that continued after the "spin up" sound finishes, to indicate the weapon is still being engaged. And I'd like a "spin down" sound effect to play after the fire button is released.
