Well it does look really weird, alot like the battleship in SFC2 with newer guns and necelles, but what your said blows it away.

The modle is fine except, maybey some slight work on the texture and modle... one more thing, it dies to quickly.

The model is not fine. It's well made and the textures are ok, BUT:

It looks, as I said before, like a kitbash of 2 Excelsior-II vessels. Mainly the engineering hull part is the main problem.

Make a new, modern, Starfleet-like design for the connection between the 4 nacelles and the saucer and it would be fine, more believable.

However, to make the Prometheus a SF Command vessel is still a very good idea and can be explained very well (as I also said before).

I aggree, I couldent describe the models downfalls like I wanted to.

Well, the Descent definitely needs a redesign. Perhaps a design similar to the Diamond Star Class?

How about a completly originioal design.

Or maybe we just use the prometheus idea since its the most logical and cannon.

I want the Prometheus as the Descent. I cannot wait to blow things up with it.

It IS actually a kitbash of Excelsior II, Galaxy and whatnot vessels

The Descent will get a complete redesign later. The prometheus is already on our list as map object...

How about the decsent not dying so quick.

Well, OK. As long as the Descent is redesigned sometime.

The old Descent - for those who may like it - will be also available as map object of course. but currently, there are other things to do for beta 3 than the new descent.
