Attention Pyro-jockeys! Remember when we all collectively cried when Descent 4 was canned and its code was recycled into making Red Faction?

Remember when we thought the series would never recover from the three-way blood feud between Interplay, Parallax and Volition (at least I thought something like that was happening)?

We can stop crying now... and start revving up our ships again.

Apparently some of the developers working on Star Citizen broke off and decided to revive the best 6DOF game ever made. Quite a list of people they have working on this. They actually got the license to make a REAL Descent game. Don't get me wrong, I liked Miner Wars, but it didn't have the same feel as I remember in Descent.

I plan to contribute to the Kickstarter - and I hope the rest of you Pyro jockeys do too! We've waited far too long for this. It's time to get back in the cockpit!

For those of you who might not be familiar with Descent or 6DOF (six degrees of freedom) games in general, let me say this. Cross a flightsim with a first person shooter and make the game world truly 3D, and you'll have some idea of what it's like to dive into the underground facilities of Descent.

I hope to see others stepping up to fly alongside.
