Gen_'s Questions

Hello all. New here but happy I've discovered that this exists (long time player of classic 4X like Space Empires GalCiv etc, short term player of MOO3 before I had to go Win7 on a huge telly and it was just too limiting to run as the res of the screen wouldn't go low enough. )
To be straight, I'm a good up and coming music producer. Been doing this for about 7 years now, briefly touched on sound design as synthesis is very much in my line of work but not actually done it in any pro or educational capacity. I'm really looking to try and make a library of sound effects just for FO, even if its just a subset, and as a bonus it would be great for my portfolio so you can be assured I'd try and make em best I can. The other thing was Music.
I wanted to ask two main things.
1. Whether its better to post here asking for the list of trigger events that SFX can be attached to (so I know exactly what SFX to make)
And 2. What kind of music would you as a community prefer. I usually make a subset of Dubstep in a professional capacity, and I think it really lends itself well to space, here's an example of what 'normal' calm game music would sound like if I made stuff in my signature style:

And high level "Boss" music (I know theres no bosses as such but most games differentiate between hard battles and easy ones music-wise) would be a more cinematic version of

From about 30 sec in
If neither are up your street then what would you personally prefer? I'm pretty versatile... but no House
Btw, I didn't post my stuff because I don't want mods to mistake this for crafty promotion.
