Captain Obvious to the rescue! The music couldn't be easier to find, considering it's in plain invividual-file MP3 format in a folder clearly marked "music"... I wanted to listen to one track some day a while ago, and I just popped open the Planetside folder and it was right there staring me in the face.

The reason Orbital Platforms were taken out is because they added nothing to the game. All they did was create an unnecessary and quite possibly annoying delay between getting in the HART and dropping down to your chosen location. Therefore, they are deactivated until the devs can think of an actual use for them. Several have already been suggested on the official forums, but there is no sign of movement in this direction.

Also, the Orbital Platform music track is actually used in the game. It plays when you're inside the HART building. If you don't believe me, turn up the music to 100%, hang around outside in Sanc for a minute, then walk into the HART building and listen to it change (give it a bit of time to cross-fade the tracks). Note that standing very close to the building, even if you're not technically inside it, can cause the music to trigger.

I have NOT played this game since beta. I picked it up at release but was never able to play it effectively until about a month ago. I dropped it for 2 months in frustration that my computer could'nt run it. So i wouldn't know about those scratched orbital platforms.

Also, CaptainObvious, check what Rbstr said:

"yeah they wer in the game a long time ago, thats were teh hartshuttle whent and then you got into a pod from there. Teh devs said somthign about bringing it back a while ago"

Thanks for restating what was said in the first response and then insulting ME for not knowing it. Look, I have never flamed anyone in my life and I hardly ever even bother to respond to people who flame me, but this time I am for some reason. And, it was hard to tell, but if that WASNT meant as a flame...well, then... Look at the title, read the first 6 words, and make a guess as to which I am.
