Sound vs distance

Ugh, please don't type in all caps...

This is a game, not 2001: A Space Odyssey. Who cares if sound doesn't travel in space? It makes combat more exciting.

Everybody just keeps an open comm channel, and you can listen in via radio.

Ooo, that way you can hear your enemies scream as they die.

If it�s via radio waves wouldn�t you be able to race ahead and hear them scream again, and again, and again�

You could record it and replay it...
Radio waves are photons, and naturally travel at the speed of light.

Well that would be easier than jumping to the next system and waiting to hear it again; but I still don�t think it would be as much fun. Recordings are never as good as hearing it live!

I tried this adjustment and I didn't notice a drastic difference (maybe no difference at all).

I'm playing the balance mod. I forgot to check it's setup files to see if it had a sound file that would override the standard.... ooops

Will check that when I get home tonight. =)
