Descent doesn't get mentioned enough, along with the true gem, Descent: Freespace. Long and storied history there.
I doubt any of the guys that worked on Decent or the Freespace games are part of Volition at this point.
But damn are those games good.
If any game deserves a remake/remaster, it's Freespace. Doesn't need much, just bring it up to par with Freespace 2 mechanics wise and polish the graphics a bit.
No reason to change anything else.
Have you tried FreeSpaceOpen?
A looong ass time ago, I did. I don't think I ever got it working right.
Freespace 2 with a force feedback joystick. When you got a bit too close to a capital ship's beam weapon and the whole joystick started to shake. One of my most immersive experiences in a game.

I honestly did not know Volition was Parallax.
