Can a custom sound be added for the cruise drive?

It uses the main overdrive/afterburner sound effect index. So you can customize that by replacing the looping sound via the 'tabburn.wav' effect specified in the customizing kit. It will need to cleanly loop or you'll likely get a pop/click when it repeats.

Ok that's what I thought I'll have to think of a sound effect that's befitting of both the afterburners and the cruise drive - my afterburners sound effect gets really stretched out when using the cruise drive. Since the cruise drive sound operates on a timer (energy reserve depletion rate) it stretches the sound effect to match the length of the time it takes to consume all reserve energy. I think the best way would be to record the energy bar depletion time and make tabburn.wav the same length.
