I remember saying I wanted the outer space parts of things silent and everyone said I was nuts! But I proved them! ... Anyway, yeah if done right and you have nothing but radio transmissions and music (silent explosions and all) it will actually come off pretty epic and cool. People who can't figure out a way for space battles to seem awesome without filling it with sound are just lazy.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
