This has been discussed at length. The 5* ships have 3 traits, and one is racial/ political. The Bounty, named such by Kirk's crew, is considered Federation.
Ship design is an overall mess. There are many more such inconsistencies and further, totally inferior ships are rated 5*. Those would never be able to match a true high end modern ship, even in packs.
My favorite was the Enterprise D has Warship trait and the Defiant does not.

Maybe the irony is that we play because we’re Star Trek fans, those hopeful idealists that like to think things will get better when we raise valid concerns about fairness and balance, etc and we forget that DB’s greed openly mocks the values espoused by the franchise they have a license

They should just the name. They've already commented that Borg Scout Ship represents a ship larger than the scout trait does.
The Bounty was a captured ship. Was a Federation ship

I agree. By the time it was renamed they had done some major work on a refit including I think changing some of the computers
