my point is, time moves on as does technology and design
for example
compare the Mig 15 fighter jet to the F22 fighter jet
and yes i agree that ships from shows although they are cool shouldn't be in Discovery but as for the custom stuff. what's to say that some ship designer couldn't put some revolutionary designs into their ship.
it's been, what did Igiss say, like 30 years game time since 1.0 freelancer. surely their could be some design changes
