When you replicate a model, the layer lines are a style choice. The most appreciated replicated Benchys are the "authentic" ones that still have hull lines and VFAs.

    And then there's his own full scale solar sail lightship. He really liked to tinker.

    Sisko had an engineering background. After all, he was a part of the team that developed the Defiant class ship.

    I always assumed he was involved in some sort of supervisory role but he this makes a lot of sense. My new headcannon is that he's the reason they stuffed such an overpowered engine in it because he wanted to see if it was possible.

    Imagine having a replicator and still choosing to spend hours gluing tiny plastic bits together. Some things just hit different when you make 'em yourself, I guess. And thank god for that.
