Oh? I thought you weren't aware of what I meant by Sins. Glad we got around to that. But while we're on the subject let's strike to the heart of the matter.
So right now we've got this thread. There's a ship coming in for which there's no proper model. The "dev" solution is to shoehorn in something which both doesn't fit the bill and looks out of place. There's some contention on that matter from the playerbase, they would rather that a model which does fit the bill and looks good for the role be put in.
Issue is that AD doesn't have said model because of a communication snaffu. So that needs to be remedied, but it'll take time.
The solution posited is to use an existing model which will work perfectly fine -as a placeholder- until the new model is ready to rock and roll. The existing model being the extremely popular lunchbox.
Your position is that there is no room for an import in Discovery, no matter how temporary. My position is that a temporary solution which has negligible impact on the environment -and will be very fun- for the playerbase is preferable to one which is contested.
It just so happens that the private ship you built for yourself completely supports my argument while debunking your own. So it's perfectly natural that it would be brought up. It's pretty nuts that you feel comfortable issuing a flat denial on the face of values that you don't hold yourself to.
The action is an old Corsair favorite. One they were begging to remain as a transport model back in .84 and again in .85. Not the freshest history, but I know some of those old faces are still around. People would enjoy it. It's not a Star Destroyer. When the new model is finished everything is put to rights and the whole affair is sent sailing into the murky waters of the past.

I'm glad you thought they were funny. I think some of your models are pretty hilarious too.
