I always thought Voyager would have been a better series if it was Star Trek: Equinox. That was a more compelling tale. Voyager was a top of the line, latest Starfleet technology starship with holodecks and designed for long-term missions. The Equinox was designed as a short term mission ship and much more utilitarian than providing comfort to the crew. The Equinox had less armaments than Voyager and was smaller than Voyager. It would have been outgunned in many more situations.

The way the Delta quadrant broke the Equinox crew to abandon their Starfleet and Federation principles would have been much more interesting to follow.
