You do realize there were a series of NASA probes with that name. And because of the history of that name in space exploration, Starfleet would think it's a very good and proper name for a ship. Besides, I've named one of my kitbashed ships Mariner.

I didn't follow the link, and scanned the thread... but the talk of the whole "If Enterprise didn't work, they would use a contingency plan using most of the sets and a key theme" was a rumour that floated around last year before Enterprise started (before we knew the name of the series infact!) I remember people saying how they could just use the same sets etc. etc.

The fact that it was used by NASA doesn't make it a good sounding TV starship name. That's all I meant. It may proper as far as historical nomenclature goes... but I still think it would sound silly.
"Riker to Mariner." "The Mariner just entered orbit." "Bring the Mariner out of warp."
When I say it enough, I start to hear "mayonaisse". Maybe that's just me though

Thank god that DS9 never touched that whole "war" thing then, eh?
And if you want Star Trek Andromeda, then why not just watch Andromeda? Or do you really want exactly the same show but with Galaxy-class ships in it?

It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

Well, watching the first season-and-a-half of "Andromeda" might be okay. But, beyond the point where they fired all the worthwhile people and Sorbo made it "Hercules in Space", what would be the point?
