... but can it really be an easter egg if it gets suggested? 
Something going a bit viral is "floppy drive music" ... musical themes played using old 3.5" floppy drive stepper motors. I think it might be cute/funny to maybe have an 'alternative' sound track, maybe for the Yor, performed using floppy drives. 
Are you talking about multiple play lists? At least one version of Galciv allowed the player to create and use playlists. Was it GC1? Maybe it was GC2? Both? I will have to check next chance I get.
Not sure what you are asking. Just a theme for the Yor that could play every April 1, or maybe just randomly but very infrequently in GC3. I'm suggesting it as an idea, not something that was present in a previous iteration of GalCiv.
Or are you confused by "floppy drive music?" Its music played using old floppy drives (not music stored on disks in the drives, but using the drives' stepper motors themselves).
I think this Youtube video started this viral trend:
How about the game plays that tune when the Yor deploys a terror star ?
Well, not that exact tune, that'd be licensing issues with Lucasfilms or whatever ..... but a version of whatever theme they have for the Yor done using floppy drives like that 'performance' of the Imperial March, its funny because its a very mechanical sound for a robotic race.
I agree. Every April first the Yor need something like that. Or better yet, a floppy version of GalCiv's main theme.
Well, to me it would be plain epic to have a special calender programmed into the game so it can recognize the date and unlock special in game content on specific days of the year, however I want the game released before this idea can be harnessed to its full potential. Perhaps we should be focusing on key aspects of the game first before we move on to super elaborate suggestion candy such as this one. Then again the alpha access might be the choice to make if you really want to see what the fudge is going on right now in terms of game development.
I don't have a floppy drive on my PC and haven't had for years. Am I going to have to upgrade my system to use this feature?
If that is what is being asked for, I have great faith that the SD people would reject the idea without comment instantly. But if some of the sound tracks they create were made using (or simulating) the step drive of many floppy drives, that would be fantastic. And why limit themselves to floppy drives, why not include in their "orchestra" many other devices that make mechanically musical sounds.
