Of all the kitbash ships I think this my favourite.
You have to wonder what the designer was smoking at Utopia Planitia when he came up with this.
I know, let’s take a crappy Maquis Raider and the state of the art Intrepid class stick them together.
What’s worse is his superior officer (also like high af) approved it.
For the longest time I wouldn’t even believe this ship really had made it to the screen. Thanks to crappy VHS quality I was spared having to look at it.
Of all the kitbashes, this is the one I refuse to accept as canon. It’s so monumentally stupid and ugly, I just can’t. Shudders
The low quality of broadcast television really covered up a multitude of sins :)
Like Worf’s make-up lines in the first two seasons of TNG.
Watching them remastered, you can clearly tell the makeup department didn’t even bother to blend.
This is exactly why it’s my favourite. It was clearly made because TV at the time was such a low resolution it didn’t have to look good.
