They 'borrowed' the Defiant....

I bet they didn't get permission to do this:

"Just change those red lights on the sides a little and maybe squeeze the proportions a tiny bit, that way no one will notice we stole it."

...Also, the reflection in his glasses makes no sense at all.

Reflections do not work that way! Goodnight!

This does remind me, I saw a board game once in a store where the cover art had a suspiciously Defiant-like ship on it (though it was an illustration, not just a photo taken off the internet). I didn't write down what it was but I was able to find it with a quick google: Space Cadets: Dice Duel.

And I also think back on when Transformers Beast Wars redesigned the Autobot Ark to look suspiciously like the Defiant, at least in part.



Or when a repainted Jem'Hadar ship showed up in Young Justice.



Neither of which I have a problem with, for the record.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

Speaking of illicit use of trademarks, those "peeing Calvin" bumper stickers were/are completely illegal... but since the strip wasn't licensed, the strip's publishers had zero motivation to prosecute.

Good game.
