Music starting when near unspotted enemies

<< < (2/3) > >>

Here is my advice for flying with random low level/learning players who don't make up a tight ship: Threaten to flog them until they become a tight ship. Actually you only need one player who is really paying attention to make the spot, and that player doesn't have to be on your ship. Stick close to your ally, keep your eyes open as captain, and thank your crew when they make spots. If all else fails there is always the whip.

The drums do begin to beat when you're near an enemy.  There's also two layers of the sound, one at medium-long range and one at close range when shooting has begun.  Just hearing a slow, steady drumbeat means you're near an enemy but there's no exchange of fire between you, and they're not at point blank.  This probably means they're as unaware of you as you are of them.  A more energetic drumbeat means they are actively shooting at you or they're right up in your face and you need to get everything in order immediately.  While it's only a minor advantage, this can help you find enemies in cloudbanks, behind obstacles, or far above or below you that you'd ordinarily have problems finding.  This is especially useful for fighting defense-oriented teams since it can give you a heads-up you're about to fly into an ambush.

I swear I could hear Jaws music while playing on Flayed last night. I'm positive that the Destructoid stream was muted. Am I just imagining this?

GeneralAmericanQuack:


To be honest, musical cues are the last thing on my mind when unspotted enemies are around. I've found that just one person paying close attention is all that's necessary.

I Hum the jaws tune over crew chat when I am sneaking up on a ship that hasn't seen me, but I wasn't on last night.
