NO real phaser sounds? Pathetic. (Also just generic music)

[Klausberger]

Played a couple of ours with the federation until I have my first fleet battle now and this official Star Trek game hast not even the most iconic thing: Real Phaser Sounds?!

The Enterprise D fires and you just get a "blip..... blip". This is outrageously bad.

How can a game cost that much, being mostly a total conversion of Stellaris (and it shows) and does not even have good Sounds and at least one of the Star Trek Music Themes?

Discouraging.

TL;DR:
Better get a Star Trek Mod for Stellaris than this...

Be careful with the truth, the crayon eaters are coming in flocks soon to tell you you're wrong and this game is the bestest evar.

yeah its trek sounding but I was expecting actual trek music

To be fair, generic wallpaper music was a staple of Berman-era Trek through TNG, DS9 and VOY.
To the point that the composer who did things like the intense Best of Both Worlds music was fired.

And related to this topic, what does this provide? TNG, DS9 and VOY had at least great Soundtracks every fan know and want.

People buy -this- Star Trek game and do not even get the Star Trek Sounds, despite generic music (the letter could be expected).

What next? Star Wars games and the Light-Sabers sound like a Toyota Pickup?

Yep, I mentioned this in my review too. The artwork is great but the lack of any real trek sounds means that the immersion is totally ruined every time you hear a ship do anything. We don't even have LCARs beeps or anything for the UI.

It could be worse. They could have used the theme music for Enterprise.

Which is still better than the Discovery music lol

Not everyone liked the ENT music but at least it was on theme. It was about having the faith and hope to reach out and try to explore.

Yeah the game is pretty weak sauce. The art is good but no real Trek music, no iconic sound effects, and no changes to the UI to reflect Trek.

I was hoping the game would also allow a player to go through different era's with different ship designs. So initially your ships would look like original series ships, and then change as time went on.

There's so much they could have done.
