I would be interested in your opinion of the Dom2 demo. That is if you dont mind feeling like your in the wrong bar of the wrong town talking about the wrong team. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">What? Haven't you ever seen those "in a galaxy far, far away" movies?

Space vessels in outer space make a lot of noise moving around, plus, when they get hit by something, you get those spectacular explosions - even outside of all atmosphere.

Erm... in reality, sound waves have 0 chance of every travelling in a vacuum. Explosions would be very muffled. The only combustible gas is that which comes from inside the ships, which is far too limited to create the massive explosions seen in most science fictions movies/shows. High-tech does not eliminate the basic laws of the universe.

Re: Move Along, Nothing to See Here
 

You know, there was once a Star Trek episode where Data reported an explosion with a volume of someething like 4x10^23 decibels... forgetting not only that sound doesn't travel in space, but that decibels are already a logarithmic scale... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif

Though I suppose it would be possible for a sound that loud to travel through space... remember, space isn't REALLY empty, there's the minute amount of interstellar hydrogen, as well as the constant quantum fluctuations of matter and antimatter being created and destroyed out of nothingness... so if you hit a molecule of hydrogen REALLY hard and it shot over a few kilometers and hit the next molecule of hydrogen, which just happened to hit another molecule of hydrogen, I guess you could call that a "sound wave" http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

Actually, I suppose a sound of any volume would travel through space, because there's no friction to stop the hydrogen molecules from moving until they hit something... the sound would just travel VERY slowly! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif
