The name was pretty obvious... a definite descendant of both the Starfleet
Voyager and the Galaxy Explorer.
Oh, and I got dibs on the Starfleet Commander name!
But if we all try to stay highly classic, including naming conventions,
we're probably going to have a lot of name conflicts. I don't think this is
a problem.

Thanks! I'd say yours is a lot more true to the original, with all the same
paraphenaphenalalilalia (never could spell that right, but da**it- it's the
word I'm looking for!) On the other hand, I always removed most of those
from my Starfleet Voyager anyway.
I love the fact that you used the proper clear blue 1x4x1's for the cargo
pod window- much more traditional than, say, a 1x4x3 thin-wall. Seems like
it should be blue with yellow windows, though- it's almost exactly like the
All-Terrain Vehicle's cargo pod. Seems like some slight modifications to
the ship would let you use a compatible pod... hmm...

I almost called it that, but then I decided it wasn't enough of a "command"
ship. :^)

Heh. I took inspiration from that pod. I thought about leaving a hole in the
center-top of the rear hatch so I could attach a dish that would poke out,
but I decided against it.
I never did like how the All-Terrain Vehicle mixed blue and yellow windows,
tho.
You know, we should get together sometime soon and do a collaborative CS
vehicle. :^)
