| I can never leave well enough alone |
|
Well, as usual I can never leave a game I like intact. My first target this time was the music files (Arcanum saw me hacking the NPC leveling script file to ribbons and making the NPCs useful and stuff, etc). What's wrong with the music? Nothing at all.. pretty cool all around.
However...
- I changed the Khaak sector music Duel of Fates, from Star Wars Ep 1
- A techno version of Duel of Fates made it into one of the combat music files as well. So did Neodammarung and Navras from the Matrix Reloaded soundtrack.
- The peaceful and happy docking music that people never hear (because they never manually dock) got replaced with the classic theme from 2001. Played it while my little disco docked to my TL... very cool how it matched up as the TL got bigger and bigger. You don't appreciate size of those things until you fly less than 10 meters from one over the bow heading for the docking bay while classical music plays.
- Xenon sectors got the theme from Terminator 2: Judgement day
Quite fun.  Make sure you pick music that you can listen to the first 30 seconds of an infinite number of times without going crazy. That's the key to all game music composing... how quick it becomes cool background noise.

I like the imagery of the 2001 music.
Is manual docking really that much of pain in-the-you-know-what?

I did it and I thought it was fun. It just take a lot longer is all.

As soon as I learned about shift D, I stopped trying to manually dock. Life's too short at my age!!

Some stations are easy to manually dock to (pirate)... others are suicidal (boron trade dock). In any case it takes a while to do... and when you're running ferry missions or cargo missions every second counts. That's where the docking computer (19,000 credits) earns its price many times over. Sometimes that last 5 KM and the docking sequence will cost you a mission.
M2 and M6 are easy to dock with... hail, ask permission, crash into them at the proper speed. Even then shift D and J are the way to go. Speed is money.
