I was part of the Terran Empire Sim Association for many years over on AOL. I built the specs for several ships & even built models of 1 or 2.
The ISS Tempest was on Starship Modeler for a while in an old, old Gallery probably since converted to CD by John Lester. It was a Sovereign painted in dark, dark metallics & greys & was fairly bristling with weaponry. I used battleship turrets (both tri-barreled main guns & smaller secondaries) with where cut into the hull & could rotate. I also used various gunship weapons & tank cannons. I also upped the torpedo tubes & the like. I also wrote the specs for Wraith & Omen.
No, I did not name the ships. But I DID choose the info for Wraith's dedication plaque, including the quote.

I agree, although to be honest I'd thought of John's C de L too. It's the ultimate for when you absolutely, positively have to destroy every last ship in the sector. Accept no substitutes. You could even argue that it's derived from a Connie with it's sec. hull - but that might be a bit of a stretch. Found some (sanctioned by John) artwork here http://www.scifi-meshes.com/gallery/data/501/4836_final_coeur_de_lion.jpg It's a bit too large to display here though.
IIRC, didn't Scotty make some comment in Mirror Mirror about the technology being not as advanced as the Federations? Or am I getting mixed up with one of the novels?

Just reading the rest of the thread... I don't think there should be too much difference between the external appearance of the ships of the different universes... because The Enterprise was basically still the Enterprise... the internal structure/room usage might have been different but the ships were essentially the same.
I like that Couer De Leon SP? I reckon it would be perfect for a normal universe kitbash ship... It's a great idea. maybe loose one of the two roll bars... ALTHOUGH I like that idea of the roll-bar being underneath - something you can't do with the Normal Miranda because of the nacelles... opens a whole new idea for roll-bars!

Or a stretched one of these... (blatantly patting myself on the back ) Another of my cut-n-pastes - Enterprise saucer with a Starfury body. I did the top view, and Jim Stevenson did the front and sides (I didn't have those views of the Starfury). Personally I woulda made the nacelle pylons thinner and kept all 4 nacelles "right way up", but that's just me.

Just change some of the details, ya reckon? Enough to show they're from different cultures / mindsets.

Must've come from a novel. In the episode "Mirror, Mirror", he said about the tech "mostly changes in instrumentation, nothing I can't handle".
Anyways, as for the possibilities offered in other posts, if you lost that third nacelle off of the Belisarius, then I think she'd make a creditable Connie Refit for the MU.

http://www.shipschematics.net/ I love the Oberth being converted to a light destroyer. It's like looking at a really nice dressed middle school kid try to be a bully to high schoolers. I dunno maybe it's just the medication...

That's a nice ship... but that ship with the two roll-bars has put the secondary hull sorta behind the primary hull - and made it in line - allowing the nacelles to start further back. Sorta like that study-model.
