I don't like it, sounds like a camara flash imo, i think it should be changed back.

Me personally, I dont.

I don't know, but I bet they"fixed" it because people were complaining about it. Or it got broken while they were fixing something else. I don't know why they don't justchangeit to what it was in the movies and leave it alone.
This stuff isn't as easy as everyone seems to think it is, try doing some programming yourself and see how gratifying it is to debug stuff. It's got to be even worse when you have an endless supply of "experts" telling you how to do your job. And you know, just because they fix something that isn't important to you doesn't mean they aren't working on your own little personal priorities.

Ever since today's update, I am having problems with sound and graphics in space. When I'm shooting another fighter, I am not getting the sound effect or graphic of my shots hitting their shields & armor. The weird thing is, maybe in 1 out of 10 shots I will actually get the sound 'or' graphic, or both. But in 9 out of 10 hits I'm not getting either. I tried fiddling around with the max sounds in options, but that didn't fix it. I'm also getting little (damage?) numbers coming off the craft I'm hitting, which I'm assuming is something they added with the new publish. Has anyone else encountered this? Again, this only started today, after downloading the new update. And yes, the new HS sound is annoying. I'm thinking they broke the shots landed sound while "fixing" the HS sound.
Anyway, its hard to know how I'm doing when shooting at a target with no sounds to tell me my shots are hitting. At first, I thought I wasen't hitting the target at all until it blew up. I don't usually keep constant track of their ship status. I glance at it, but for the most part I'm concentrating on my targeting reticle.

My guns have been doing strange things since the recent publish some of my blue guns are now firing green and sometimes i get no bolt of light from my guns at all (still does damage) some very annoying bugs.

After I posted about the sound bug, there was another download through the launchpad, and the sounds seem to have returned to normal. That was a quick fix!
