[QUOTE]Originally posted by Aban Rune: [QB] I have a little nitpick about the term "kitbash" that I;d like to hash out guys. I realize that the DS9 tech manual refers to ships rushed into service and ships made of spare parts and what not. I've also seen the term kitbash used on the forums when refering to the Centaur type, the Shelley Class and the Yeager class. Here's my problem. First of all the made up ships in the DS9 Tech Man are as impossible as they are stupid. I mean you've got parts that are way out of proportion to other parts. Also, I don't think you can just throw together a starship with two halves that were never made to fit together. Building a Fed Starship is a years long process. Second of all, the only kitbashing actually done was by the modelmakers. For instance, the Centaur type uses an Excelsior saucer and a Miranda rollbar from the AMT kits. The kits may fit together, but the 'actual' scale doesn't. Therefore, that's not 'really' a Miranda rollbar. The Centaur and the Shelley are therefore ships that were designed the way they are, not thrown together. Discussion? [/QB][/QUOTE]
