Speculation on other Starships we might encounter?

"With what I've heard of this place, there's no way my Lorca could've survived. My Lorca is dead." (very paraphrased)

However, if he is alive, what's cooler than coming back and finding out they named a ship after you?

Naming two ships after you.

He soon will be, he's very ill. They can keep a placeholder on the ship name for a little while.

I'd rather the next show be set in the 25th century aboard the USS Lorca

Star Trek Online calls Mirror Lorca's manoeuvre to save Corvan II in Lamb's Cry the 'Lorca Manoeuvre'

But that was created and named before the Dev team knew he was from the Mirror Universe. They were in the dark like the rest of us.

In-universe, it's obvious that Lorca's backstory is classified, and his heroic save will be remembered by the Corvanites at least (officially, Lorca will be the heroic Discovery Captain, KIA during the Klingon War). Even if all the mirror stuff is known by STO times, the maneuver will be noted as Lorca's for generations.

Until he comes back

There are also some shots of the Shenzhou (with TOS-style markings, still), as well as untextured renders of the Klingon fighter and Cleave ship on Pierre Drolet's ArtStation.

The "Bird Of Prey" below the NX-01 has a little Serenity thing going on.

I believe that one was considered for the Klingon sequence in STID before they decided to go with the one we got.

Well it does say Into Darkness in the caption, so probably

I'm surprised they didn't call it "the Corvanite Maneuver."

might be time for a new thread dedicated to the ships we've seen and will be seeing in star trek: discovery.

but still here are some renders of the USS kerala and a couple klingon ships (veg'largh, "D-7", and bslth) from a VFX artist at pixelmondo.

loving the kerala:

and props to the veq'largh for actually looking vaguely klingon:

not sure what's going on with the D-7 (#notmyD-7):

more here.

Did anyone happen to save whatever else was at that link? Because it seems to be gone now.

trekcore posted a few, plus pierre drolet’s rendering of the shenzhou.

there’s also glimpses of a couple other klingon ships that drolet posted as well.

I wonder if it will be a new class or one of the ones we already know.

John Eaves said he designed like 50-60 ships for the show or something.

 

[Burning Hearts of Qo'nos]

I hope its not like...a Walker Class recolor or something haha.

 

[137th Gebirg]

I too hope it's a new design. Gotta keep Eaglemoss busy!

 

[WarpFactorZ]

Now that we've seen a Constitution class and established that lineage does indeed exist, I'd like to see more designs in line with Franz Joseph / TOS ships (cylindrical nacelles, more secondary hulls, etc...). There were far too many Miranda-style ships in Season 1.

 

[Ronald Held]

Could we see a Miranda preTMP refit?

 

[CaptainMurdock]

Could we see a Miranda preTMP refit?

I really hope so.

 

[cooleddie74]

Could we see a Miranda preTMP refit?

I'd love to see a pre-2270s Miranda-class ship with TOS-style nacelles.

 

[fireproof78]

Saldin class or Kelvin or bust!

 

[cooleddie74]

I wonder if the Oberth could have existed in a TOS design configuration prior to the first time we see the class in 2285. Starfleet must have more than a few small, lightly-crewed starships devoted purely to scientific survey expeditions floating around during the time of both DSC and TOS.
