Sonic booms require an atmosphere, there is none in space.

Of course, we hear sounds ingame as if it were Star Wars, and people have always tried to come up with a variety of explanations for this, from deliberate feedback so humans can fly better, to the simple "so the game's more exciting" (i.e. non-RP reason) bit, which is the truth. Still, I'm not sure a boom would work for it, some kind of "whoooosh" would be better in my opinion.

Fee Fie Fo Fum! I think I smell a troll.

It's poetry, it doesn't have to rhyme.

As for sound effects whilst warping... is the Wing Commander stuff still off-limits? Because the 3rd installment had neato jump animations. Pity, I couldn't find a video (with sound) for it.

nice long discussion on this subject here. A few good ideas coming out of it, too.

Hey Dale, might want to look at getting a new keyboard. Your caps lock key appears to be stuck.
