System Shock 2 Music

[Narcolepsy]

I apologize for making a whole thread about this, but I couldn't find the answer anywhere.

In SS2, is the music supposed to loop pretty much repeatedly? In the first area (getting to medical), that techno music wouldn't shut up. Seems pretty weird to set "you're all alone on a ship where everyone hates you" to a throbbing techno beat. But maybe that's just me.

Yes in MedSci, but once you get down to engineering or up to hydroponics the techno music cuts out and is replaced by ambient noise (creaks in the distance, etc). It works pretty well, actually - when the beat kicks in the first time you expect to see a hybrid running towards you, but afterwards the silence is more unnerving.

IIRC there are only 4 or 5 areas that have techno music. The science sector on deck 2 (MedSci, where you are), the maintenance tubes on deck 1 (Engineering), the first area of deck 3 (Hydroponics), and the shuttlebays on deck 6 (Command). Places like medical, the cargo bays, and all of Recreation are the scariest places you'll find in a video game.

MedSci 1 and Ops are probably the best ones. But yeah, it will switch out.

It is probably my favorite..

I was waiting for the port from SS1 to the Dark Engine to come out., but it seems to be dead. Quite a shame.

Fixed.

Indeed.

Oops. =\

I think a few people are trying to keep it going, but most of us have moved on to other things.
