Remember, when we saw it in "Peak Performance" the warp drive wasn't even working. For the ship to function in Picard's blockade, it must have undergone at least a minimal refit ...
Not necessarily. Remember Geordi commented how well maintained the engine core was. He said if it only had some antimatter they could operate it. I took Kolrami's line about the Hathaway being "rendered warp-inactive" as simply being they (Starfleet battle testers) made sure Hathaway didn't have warp drive available for the simulation to see how she fared in the tests.
It didn't have to mean that the ship was completley trashed and Oh, by the way good luck Riker!
I assumed the Hathaway was a spaceworthy (though inactive) vessel, specifically worked over to perform as needed for the test, which meant warp drive not allowed.

Oh yeah, and that's why there were all sorts of stray trash and miscellaneous optical cables hanging from the ceiling on the Bridge...
Yeah, I know the ship wasn't in that bad shape, considering that they brought fusion power on pretty quickly. Still, all that garbage strewn about seems very unlike any Starfleet ship I know of.

The Hathaway was the academy Delta frat house before the tests...

Good point SoundEffect, I thought there'd been more repairs needed to the engines.
Most likely, the Hathaway may have been used for spare parts to keep other ships operational, which might account for the "trashiness" factor. I mean, if I remember right, Worf wasn't above ripping out spare wires from the bridge to suit another purpose.

Yeah, but that's worth. He's direct like that. And he was also making a point to another officer that they'll have to be a bit "creative".

Nope. The only ships seen were the Enterprise, the Excalibur, the Sutherland and the Hathaway.

And remember that this short moment was the biggest "fleet" shot in Star Trek up to that point? How things have changed...

Well, no. It equaled one. We'd already seen the Excalibur, Potemkin, Hood, Lexington fleet from TOS. And you could also count Wolf 359 if you wanted to.

But the TOS fleet was just the same ship multiplied optically. And Wolf359 was just wreckage, no actual moving fleet.

I didint use Intrepid parts for the nacelle pylons but I like her. She's not as large as Stephen's- mine is only about 4" long.
