I mean, one would also expect them to restore it based on the specs when it was found or last was active in its time.
Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 5x05 - "Mirrors"
- Thread starter Commander Richard
- Start date
We don't know what 32nd century warp rules are like. Maybe it's more like Star Wars now.
Ah yes, the magical tunnel that is only visible from the outside and never the inside. A pet peeve going back to 2009The I.S.S. Enterprise viewscreen from outside compared to the SNW Season 2 Enterprise viewscreen in an external shot.
Especially since in the first episode, Mol and Lak intentionally create fake warp signatures to throw off Discovery’s ability to track their heading.
If it was inherently impossible to track 32nd century warp drive, they wouldn’t have to use a countermeasure in the first place.
And even the countermeasure didn’t make sense, given Discovery has a Spore Drive. They could have jumped instantaneously to the points along every possible heading and found Mol’s and Lak’s ship that way.
They said they could track it. That said, they may head for the next clue instead.
as I wrote before, they clearly implied it was Spock but didn’t outright say it in order to keep open the option for future stories.
Not until it's confirmed onscreen.
And again: The High Chancellor was killed for trying to make reforms. Spock actually SUCCEEDED in making reforms.

It would take them minutes to catch them. Their ship is faster than a 23rd century Terran warp pod
Spock made reforms, and in retaliation, Tiberius created an alliance with the Klingons and cardassians to destroy the Terran empire.
that’s from the shatnerverse, nothing canon here.
You say that like it's a bad thing.
srsly, I am a literalist. It's just what I do.
There can't be an ISS Enterprise-D, since the Empire collapsed long before that ship would have been built.
If any Mirror TNG characters appear, they would be slaves. Like Smiley O'Brien.
Fair enough, though we don't know what happened in the Mirror after "The Emperor's New Cloak", and so a new empire could've happened, and we could get a Mirror Enterprise-D, E, F, or G, and they could've used the ST: Picard sets (if they are still around), or the ST: Picard designs. Personally, I've always just wanted to see Mirror TNG in live action. (The non-canon comics did come up with a neat idea to still find a way to have a TNG Mirror series that doesn't overturn what DS9 established.
There's also the different Mirror reality from DISCO Season 3. That allows them to do anything inside that alternate reality.

There are literally infinite alternate universes, I’m sure that in many of those the empire never fell.
According to IDW comics, and made canon in Prodigy season 2, the majority of the Empire is gone, but they still control a small area around Sol and have their imperial ships and all.
I mean, in theory but why would they restore basically an "older model" version of the Connie? Surely the purpose of a refit is... that it is better than it was? Why return to an older design?
Probably best not to overthink it too much..
Good thought - basically we're just taking the existing retcon of the Enterprise's appearance from "The Cage" and extending that to use of stock footage from that episode used in "Mirror, Mirror". Works for me! Though it doesn't explain the interiors..

Because the mirror universe guys aren't like those bizarre 2260s misguided interior designers and realize like most people that the 2250s config looks better and more futuristicI mean, in theory but why would they restore basically an "older model" version of the Connie?

And a lot of the Shatnerverse Mirror Universe lore was crap.
