SE4 works much faster when there is some CD in

[Fuerte]

I now have the CD music option off. Still it was kind of funny and appropriate, it played track 1 when playing and hosting, and I believe track 2 when reviewing a battle. Both tracks suited to the game very well.

When I put in a different CD, it would change tracks in the middle of the song, as if the program know to play each track on the SE4 CD for a certain time.

I didn't know this until someone mentioned it in another thread, but there is a section of settings.txt that lets you program which tracks are played as background music and combat music.

Cap'n Q

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the
human mind to correlate all of its contents. We live on a placid
island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was
not meant that we should go far. -- HP Lovecraft, "The Call of Cthulhu"

I get the best results with 80s dance tunes. SE4 seems to perform best with some Duran Duran or the old Ministry tune, 'Every day is Halloween.'

of course, The Ultra Violence works well too, when the game is trying to process large combats

Yep Ultra Violence works great. Nothing like Industrial Opera to get the blood boiling.

You should try some Front242 on those turns when you get a new component like say computers 3 and your spending about an hour going through all the planets in each system and deciding which ones you should build them on.
