Spoiler ahead $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ In general the ship in question is an obvious reuse of of the Fed fighter, but I did notice that they scaled it up and added several rows of windows giving the impression of many decks. While I don't really care for this I think they did a aduquite job of portraying the fighter as a entirely different ship. If you think about it we will probably never see this race again, with the series ending, and if we do they will more than likely build a new ship specifically for the episode.

I also noticed that, after Kim names the ship, when he's in his "ready room," there is what looks to be a dedication plaque for the ship. I guess Kim replicated one to make the ship more Starfleetish, never once questioning that the ship already looked like a scaled-up version of a Starfleet fighter.
On that subject, the design might have worked better as a "new" Federation starship, what with all the different scalings for the Galaxy family (i.e. the Miarecki kitbashes). Too bad they made it an alien ship whose race we'll never see again. There were some good shots of the ship in the episode.

Timo, that sounded a little... condescending!?!
OK, if you put two balls on a table - they're in 3d but they're in the same plane... if you put one on the floor then... well OK... they're in the same plane - but you know what I meant... lucky the pulse was sent out in the same plane as the ship not, say up-down...

Dukhat: Maybe you're thinking of something else, but I thought the plaques behind Kim were supposed to be some sort of diplomas or awards or something to that effect...
