Now I'm not saying that would be an inevitability of this type of thing, but I think it would be really hard to make that kind of story remain interesting while balancing actual progress toward the goal without having a set conclusion date, and with how often series are canceled or rushed it could lead to some very unsatisfying or rushed conclusions... But I guess thats the risk any show takes. I mean, It would be a lot like Voyager if you think about it. One federation ship, all by itself, in unknown or hostile space... difference being getting home vs building a new one.
