Specialized yards might go towards explaining variants within classes and why we rarely see certain ship classes in the core systems.
As example: A Federation member-world towards the border might have had a history of building four-nacelled ships with a long warp-speed duration (compared with Starfleet norms) and the Chyenne is a result of a new species adding it's shipbuilding expertiese and cultural preferences to Starfleet's roster.
Taking that notion into account, we might see greater numbers of uncommon classes the farther we get to the federation border/unexplored space.
Shipyards along the rim mght be producing older designs alongside their own blend of variants and classes that core systems may never see.

That huge kitbash sure gives me the creeps but does anyone know if there exist more pics of that ship in the upper right corner of the fleet pic where the saucer has been rotated by 90 degrees?
