Well, the virus has been defeated, and life has returned to normal. Hey! It's vacation time! Or, maybe, you are a historian, a reporter, or a freelance photographer... whatever. Where will you go?

I picked Shiva for two reasons. One, you don't see much of it's interior throughout the games (really nothing more than Dravis's office) and I'm curious. And two, despite it being PTMC owned, I think that station looks dang cool. :)

I have other places in mind, too, but you can only pick one, so...

I voted for Red Acropolis... seems like a nice place to visit. Do some winter sports. Besides, Caitlin Harper's there. ;)

I was also thinking of the level where you have to align the mirrors. Nice view! But I couldn't think of the name of it.  :(

Oh yeah, that CED space station thing in level fourteen, something like...uh...uh...

...yeah, I can't remember it's name either. :P

I was wondering why that wasn't in the list. :P x2

I'd like a tour of the factories that build the robots.

I'd go with the Robot Factory.

The Orbital Network Transmitter has some cool things about it, but it's really "closed in" and doesn't really have all that much to wander around it.

You know, I think the PTMC Storage Facility on Titan (place where Dravis had a fellow "rebel" improsoned) would be good.  Lots of places to go and things to do.

The PTMC Storage Facility was an awesome level.  I loved the music and the way it fit in.

Added three options! You can change your vote if you want.

And you can plan next years vacation too, as you can now vote twice. ;) note, you have to remove your existing vote to cast two votes, then make both votes at the same time.

I'm sticking with the Red Acropolis for my first vote, and adding the CED Transmitter for my second. Hey, there's a nice garden with a fabulous view there! And imagine the download speeds you'd get tapped into that puppy!  :o

Now you can download a copy of Descent 3 + Mercenary from GOG.com within mere milliseconds!  ;)

I agreed with Scyphi. I'd like to see Shiva. It seems less hostile than the other locales.
I, for one, hope this is much, much more than a reconnaissance mission.

You know, some of these places were destroyed.  ;)

So be careful what you choose.

milliseconds? Why wait so long? Well I guess you'd still have to wait for the gOg server. But just think... you could host a thousand player game!  ;D

I guess though Shiva station is the iconic location for Descent. I heard they turned it into a Building 19 after the PTMC broke up.  ;)
