Black Hole AI and strange music?

[dogscoff]

Von: I don't know if the AI is improved in Gold as far as Black holes go, but a lot of ppl here switch off black holes in vsAI games by altering the galaxy generation files.

As for music... How about some classical- all the tunes from 2001 films / Elite series of games...

I like "Ride of the Valkyies" in battle, except it always makes me think of that Bugs Bunny cartoon set at the Opera - "Kill da wabbit, Kill da wabbit" - and then I start laughing...

Val, I should point out that lawyers ALWAYS has a suitable response up their sleeves and ALWAYS have the Last word, even if it is only 'here is your bill'

Finally someone mentioned Wagner as suitable combat music. I'd recommend Tchaikovsky, Berlioz, Bach, Bartok, Beethoven (especially Beethoven's 5th!), maybe Dvorak, Grieg, Orff, Rakhmaninov, Rimsky-Korsakov, and Shostakovich as other combat-suitable music. You could try Sousa for a more modern-sounding background too...

For other parts, I'd suggest Gershwin, Strauss, Copland, Herb Alpert... how's that for an eclectic mix? Ragtime, lounge, showtunes, and German waltzes (in no particular order, obviously). How can you go wrong?

You guys haven't lived until you start up the game to play a quick PBW turn, not realizing that your wife left her Patsy Cline CD in the drive.

I've been using a collection called "Classical Thunder", which includes most of the composers on Tsaarx' list. When I launch SE IV, the intro screen plays Strass' "Also sprach Zarathustra" (aka "Dawn" theme from _2001_).
