Wow that is a neat lookin' ship, I'm surprised I've not come across it yet... What's the name of the SOD?

It could be a preview of an Iconian or Ciadan ship.

No, it's the Descent (from the game): it's a map object

Hehe that's a nice little Easter Egg... I've sadly never played Descent so I'd never recognize it

Muwahahah!  Everyone askes this question.  It is the ship from the old interplay game Descent, or Descent 2.  The ship in descent 3 is different. I found that before I even downloaded the game.  Saw in in the gallery, then D/l'd the game and looked for it.

@ TUN

it is very old.  And it is an amazing game.  I still play it now and again.  I have 1 and 2.  3 is newer, and not as fun, and the ship is different.

It's also in the online gallery in case you want to see it
