Rival starfighter builder, Calvin Industries, has modified the INRI design to conform to their own specifications. Note the deletion of the external systems, and the removal of the INRI branding.

An interesting side-effect of the INRI’s unusual design is it’s complete

First of all, being a Christian, I do object to the design. However, as a
critique of the model, the structure is not very interesting. Your method of
building requires virtually no SNOT at all. Most of it is in standard studs up
configuration and, well, I like SNOT. The greebling isn’t very interesting and
all in all it is a bit of boring ship to look at.
