As for an Ear Trumpet pilot tool being OP or whatever and being "meta, mundane, and predictable".... we have the spyglass right now. That is it. If you are pilot, you don't take it. If you are crew, you do take it. There is nothing else valid to take. I don't see how adding a tool would make this slot MORE "meta, mundane, and predictable". If you think about it like a navigation tool, the non-pilot crew have two tools by default: Spyglass and Drums.

If drums became a tool, there could be added benefits and strategies. Having one less scope on the crew is already a detriment. With the spyglass, clicking gives you the ability to see further at the cost of character mobility. With an audio tool, clicking could give you the ability to hone in on the direction another ship is coming from, also at the cost of character mobility.

Unlike the spyglass, it would not be a necessary tool. As a person that has played without music since I got the game (I have a very hard time picking out voices from music), I have never used drums. As such, I don't have any practical knowledge of what they are like.

Anyways, yes, music and drums should be separated.

Devs said that there are some special rules for private matches which hosts will be able to turn off or on. It will be done some time in the future.

I don't know how I should feel about this.

If you take out the drums, take out all those unnecessary clouds in Canyon and Paritan. 

I don't listen to the music. I listen to jazz.  My crew knows this and will always tell me when they hear it.  I love the drums.  It's like close range non directional radar.  I just assume the pilots and crews in this particular time and place have developed this new spidey-sense for survival.

I don't hear the drums. Does that mean I already have spidey-sense?

Sent it to the Devs and it's in the "approved ideas pile".

Half the times I get that silly glitch where I get no music anyways.
