 LDY #sfxwhosh          ; Call the NOISE routine with Y = sfxwhosh to make the
 JSR NOISE              ; sound of the ship launching from the station

 LDA #8                 ; Set the step size for the launch tunnel rings to 8, so
                        ; there are fewer sections in the rings and they are
                        ; quite polygonal (compared to the step size of 4 used
                        ; in the much rounder hyperspace rings)

                        ; Fall through into HFS2 to draw the launch tunnel rings
