Few things annoy me alot in VO thus i got couple of suggestions.

Certain sounds are pretty weak and it affects (atleast my personal) immersion. Engine ambience and trust sounds for example are really terrible.

Would it be possible to create same type of modding as for hud skins? A sound "skin" package which would supply the game a user defined sound replacements.

And while im at this, how about also:

1) Custom sounds per ship ?
2) Different engine ambience sounds depending on the ships condition

The sounds were different before, all ships had exactly the same engine hum. Now, there is differentiation depending on size or mass, I don't know which exactly, or where the threshold lies.

But the idea sounds good, in my opinion. Perhaps not immediately implementable, but interesting to keep in mind.

I think that may be possible as a plugin. There's a function to map audio files to effects.

Last time I played around with that it was possible to redefine the original effects that way ... but there were some issues. I forgot what kind though..

Checked the lua and there seems to be table where one can add/map sound files. Now, it would be interested if that table is infact capable of changing internal sounddata too. I guess it requires information about what are the current filenames - if its possible to mape the existing ones that is..

*imagines a Beatles song as the engine hum for the moth*

I'd really appreciate modifiable sounds as well. I can't tell you how much I want to hear the Quake III "Bonk" sound after successful hits.
