Another Metroid game taking place on a spaceship? No, thanks.

In fairness, this wouldn't have been so bad in 2004.

It would still have been a step back. An idea like that one should be used for a new IP.

I changed my mind.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with playing around with scenarios in existing IPs. I mean, yes, it would make a strong new IP (maybe), but it would also be fine if it was a Metroid game. High-quality experimentation in Nintendo's established franchises often has great results (Majora's Mask).
