I am reading on the web the name of the new shuttle seen aboard the Scimitar is Scorpion. When I think of the two names in a single sentence, my thoughts turn to the film "Scorpion King". Is this name, Scorpion, confirmed for the Reman shuttlecraft?

This is a spoiler and should be marked as such.

Huh? A spoiler? How is this a spoiler? I believe a spoiler to be a major plot point, such as those discussed here before. How is a ship's name a spoiler? It is a triviality which doesn't reveal plot turns. This is silly.

Yep, it's shown a lot in both trailer/teaser watchamajiggers. Although the name isn't mentioned, they show exactly what two characters do with one and we get views of the thing from nearly every angle.

Well I figured people would be anal about it so I was just saying.

I consider the post itself just below the spoiler threshold - it's just some website speculation and tells nothing much about the movie.
However, I can't see how this thread can provide any interesting results unless we engage in actual spoiling. And to my experience, all discussion here is spoiler-heavy anyway. If you don't want to learn about "Nemesis", you don't read "Starships & Technology" articles that have "Reman" in them. You don't really read "S&T" at all. You read "General Trek" where the spoiler etiquette is much stricter.

Perhaps in this section we should only mark threads that DON'T contain spoilers! Shouldn't be all too many...
