Replacing Decent Class

The Descent-class may not be the best ship ever created but what's even more uglier is the prometheus . What's good-looking on that ship anyways.

The remore doesnt need replacing any more, go take a look at the new v3 shots of it it looks awesome. But to replace the decent I have to say either the galaxy 3, which is not the retarded 3 nacelle one but the one that was floating around in these forums a couple of weeks ago, To be honest I dont really care too much which ship replaces it aslong as its a battleship/dreadnought (well there goes the promie) and looks awesome. OR It could be replaced by a ship with certain special abilities that maybe isn't very powerfull but can pull its weight because of them.

Prom All the way, nothing like a cannon heavy cruiser

1 prob:
Prom = Tactical Cruiser
Descent = Dreadnaught

They are completely incompatable, in size, crew, speed, the "fear facter", and recources required.

i guess i'd go with the galaxy 3. (the dom refit, not the gal-x)

Actually I like the decent, but because so many people want it replaced it looks inevitble that it will be replaced. And because I want it to have a worthy replacement I'd like to propose the titan class of bi:vr.

Oh I dont think it'll be replaced, just retextured and maybe remodeled. Its a unique FO design and they do love their designs

I also think it looks ok

The reason I hate the descent isn't just that its a kitbash (it is, in every sense of the word), but that its a bad kitbash, arbitrarily combining peices from five different ships! These include the Galaxy (saucer section), Akira (the rollbar that is stupidly the only thing holding the ship togather), sovreign (nacelles), Excelsior II (engineering hulls),and even the Steamrunner (the rollbar over the saucer section)! It looks like it belongs in the Frankenstien fleet, along with those nasty intrepid and excelsior varients! And its not only cobbled togather, its done so very poorly. In fact, in has no less than five deflector dishes, and looks like it will simply tear apart when it hits a bump! Clearly, this design MUST GO. The only question is which design to replace it with.

And also, you have to remember the Canavral class. It's still here, but the design was completely changed. If the FO team did that to the Descent class, I would be satisfied...

I just hope its less kitbashed...

i know this is an old thread but i was playing the concept future mod and thought of this neat ship. it might be a bit of a kitbash but if it is it's a **** good one. and if it was upscaled a little it would make a kicka$$ dread. it's called the gun cutter, and it’s classified as a defense cruiser

I think that's just a N0x1 era Descent Class.
I really don't think its as important to replace this class, because if the Feds really wanted such a large warship they'd screw it up, I think the Descent accurately portrays their flaws.
if anything
it should be physically bigger so it displaces the Sove in a more obvious tone.

what??? the guncutter is an nx-01 dread? are you blind or something?

It does look ok to me, but descent doesnt look all that bad either
