Why are shutdown sounds for your ship so different from engine sounds? It's not connected to the engine sound at all, but a completely different sound effect.

Once again, at risk of repeating what I've already said, it's a time and resources thing. Just due to the amount of ships we're working on, we have a system set up already that works. But looking into tying up the startup and shutdown sounds to the engine is something we need to look into, and it will take a lot of time. So yeah, it's something hopefully for the future.

I think another thing is some of the tech we're working on is going to make it easier for you guys to hook into the state of the ship at the point where it shuts down.
