Sound FX Needed

Hey.
It's weird that we have no audio feedback for our thrusters. We have audio feedback for pitch, yaw and roll, for boosters and for throttle but not for Thrusters. This communicates to new players that thrusters don't do anything - not the message we want to send.

We want to add sound effects for
Forward Thrust - Capship and Small ship - this one should have the most 'oomph'.
Backwards Thrust - Capship and Small ship
Lateral Thrust - capship and small ship.

So six sounds in total.

If you want to know more about the format of the sound files, look here for small ships and here for capital ships.

submit your sounds here or dm to me on discord.

We look forward to hearing your noises!

I suspect too much thruster sound would be disruptive.
OFC everything would need to be tested before we know.

Idea: thruster sounds could be not constant but start when you change directions, meaning affected by acceleration, not throttle.

FYI:
Elite:Dangerous for all it's faults has amazing thrust and other ship noises (creaks and bumps) that make every ship unique.

Sounds of Elite: Dangerous #1 Sidewinder, Eagle, Hauler, Adder and Imperial Eagle

FYI these are all in the smallest class of ships, comparable with Alleg.

Link the thruster sounds to randomized funk samples.

Come on, we have no sound people in our community? No one who can rock an audio filter and make a random noise sample his bitch?
