Some of the kitbashes in the Dominion War episodes were truly horrid. Ex Astris scientia has images of all of them. Not only are the models themselves physically amongst the most offensive-looking in terms of condition, but it's almost like Starfleet was trying end the war by making their wartime ships simply too ugly for the Jem'Hadar to want to get near them.
I do not like the Saber class ship at all, nor do I much care for the Norway class. But I have to admit that I absolutely love the Steamrunner. It has such a sharp, angular, and aggressive look to it... like a snake, almost... cobra-like. As soon as I saw the first good view of that ship, I thought to myself: "If only THAT had been the design they used for the Defiant..."
And I also really like the Akira design as well.

It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

Except when it's an exact replica of Kirk's. With functioning sounds for ALL the keys and knobs.
I do love the Steamrunner, though - as long as I can keep pretending she's one of the extremely few mission-specific designs of Starfleet. Namely, a LPD of some sort, consisting of a gigantic shuttlebay and some incremental add-ons.
I can even forgive the fact that the impulse engines blast straight into the pylons... Clearly, a minimal amount of creative & thoughtative work went into this one.
