Klaxon should sound out constantly during Red Alert.

Post by KingKire » 22 Aug 2016, 11:40

Summary:
The Red Alert Klaxon should be left on when red alert is sounded, and ring out every 5-8 seconds to symbolize to the ship that there is a red alert going on.

Benefits:
Adds alot to the atmosphere, and people wont forget that the ship was set into Red Alert mode if they did not see the original red alert text warning.

+1 but you'd have to make it a little less loud otherwise that'll get annoying real quick.

Give a big cooldown if you do that, thx.
CM was obviously inspired by Starcraft: Ghost opening. At least when marines takes too long to deploy.

So long as there's a way for individuals to mute it if it becomes too annoying, then sure. +1

It'd have to be pretty low vol or I'd probably want to flush myself out of an airlock.

+1 as an immersive noise. For players who dislike it, we need a toggle with something like "Disable immersive sound"

This is pretty much what I've been thinking as well because I'd rather not go deaf.

If we are adding this to be constant some constant red lights would be nice, perhaps slowly flashing?

To put it bluntly, yah, the klaxon would sound annoying. Its a red alert klaxon, Its only sounded off when the ship is in imminent and catastrophic danger. Now, im not saying the klaxon should sound off once a second, with each toot being a second.
My idea is that it should sound out every several seconds.

Currently: Red alert klaxon sounds off three times when triggered, then everything goes to normal. No light changes, no warning sounds. Possibly the time clocks are turned into red alert signs. Thats it. When the alerts off, nobody is notified.

Proposed: Red alert sounds off once every several seconds. Personnel are given the ever present reminder that, yes, the ship is indeed in a very bad situation. Everyone can now tell when the ship is in trouble and when it isnt in trouble.

I know that in pre-Alpha the entire ship, all tiles would be flashy red and it would be so annoying admins told commanders to turn it off when used too long.
But I guess it's pretty good the suggestion, but I wouldn't propose a klaxon sound, I would propose the self-destruct alert to be played on loop, make it so marines could turn it off via prefs (?).

This seems like something that everybody thinks they want, but when it's actually implemented it'll just be annoying. I value my eardrums over muh immershuns.
