My roomate was shocked the other day, when he learnt that SS13 had sounds at all. He legit thought the game was soundless.
This made me realise it aswell, there is very little sounds. most of the time the game is completely silent, nothing. no space noises, no footsteps. It's actually starting to bother me quite a bit.
For the most part it is farts and screams, and the occational explosion or weird hiss. I do feel this server needs more subtle but atmospheric sounds. The lighting system is very good at invoking this feeling, so adding some extra sounds would really make it more worthwile. Subtle creaks of the metal hull, fans humming subtly in maint.
Speaker announcement system talking either subtle nonsense or reacting to events. I don't play on other servers but I think they have some female voice saying the emergency shuttle has been called or something.
The way sound travels on goon is pretty cool, so having a few more sounds would make it much more enjoyable. As it is, all the minor sound effects like eating or dying doesnt do enough for me, making my head feel empty after playing for a while.
So my main idea would be to add a ton of "Flavor" sounds that play randomly to add to the atmosphere of being in space. Not too often, but enough to make an impact. Should players hate the extra sounds, perhaps give it a "mute atmospheric sounds" button.
