There was an exterior image that showed it was a Constitution welded with various other ships such as a Bird of Prey.

I think it's actually visible when you dock with the Klingon ship (it's been a while...do you dock with a D7?) But the sequence is shot in such a way that you don't notice the ship. Even when you leave, it's not immedietly obvious.
I think they wanted to make it a surprise to long-term fans. Newer fans might not recognise the ships interiors, but they'd know a Starfleet ship from the outside, so if they'd signposted it more, it would have just caused confusion for those fans who had never seen "Mirror, Mirror".

Actually, if you hang around on the bridge or in the turbolift after PointyEars orders you to the transporter room and eavesdrop on the conversation, you'll hear EnsignBoy say it's a Constitution class. Of course, right after that you're beamed to the brig for insubordiation, which is sort of an anti-climax, but still...

Maybe I'll try that bitch after finishing my Achilles class (Actually, I've found some of my old stuff on a CD, the top/side-views of the Aegian and Iwo Jima from A2 for example - the stuff I posted here, just better resolution). The Achilles outline is done so far, all I have to do is give her some color. But this one looks extremely interesting. Can anyone identify the Malon ship? There should be one somwhere. Maybe some of those bubbles?
(And thanks for the BotF hint!)

What's weird about those shots is, if you know there's a Constitution there it's extrememly obvious; if you don't though, it's not that hard for your eyes to just pass over it. Or maybe it's just me.

Really? How does the dialogue go?
Kim: Strange, there's a Constitution-class vessel as part of the scavenger base.

This is the latest version of the Iwo Jima sideview (the topview is not yet ready to be shown).
And the first sketch of the Achilles. Note that the details such as hull markings and windows are just placeholders. Just the overall shape is important. Why do I always choose the most ugly ships (at least sideview-wise, the top-view doesn't look that bad)? Once, just once, I want to do an image of the Galaxy. Or the Constitution refit. Or the Nebula. But nooo, of course I do ships like the Norway or that stupid freighter from Enterprise.

Hmmmm....It's a nice illustration of the Iwo Jima so far but there's nit much that anyone can do for that deaign from the side. Mabye the top view will help make it look cool.
I'm undecided on the Achilles. On one hand, I hate the bright red deflector(!) but on the other, it's still far better looking than the Prommie.

The ship's listed on Star Trek Bridge, did any of them have registry numbers on them. I know the USS Sovereign had NCC-73811, but what about the rest of them.
