Until the inevitable lockbox, what ships give you a Discovery vibe?

I can't wait for a Discovery lockbox so I can drop 1.5bil EC on the ships from the new show. But until that happens, what ships currently in game give you a Discovery vibe to fly?

Memory Alpha, if you check the Walker Class, indicated that it is considered old by 2249 so it definitely has NX roots but definitely looks more like the Akira.

Scryer has a certain resemblance. The biggest difference is the nacelles.

Assuming there will be one. Its a bit early IMO.
They will add some in. Likely that ugly TRIBBLE armor you see the Klingons wearing.
Other than that, the over all look is for this would be, Flat nose, Purple Skin, Cranial Ridges(under tattoos and scars), and the Pitted complexion. Oh yeah, and lips fullness set to full. They look like someone took a cow and beat it's face flat with a 2x4.
They justified the alternate timeline having T6 Constitution as the threat the Fed of that timeline faced caused as faster and much more aggressive weapons and technological advancements. It be a little harder to make that statement in the Prime timeline even though those Klingons may have had more advanced technology than the Fed of the time - it still shouldn't change what happens afterward some 100 - 150 years later.
That's honestly the one thing I was worried about them going back in time with Enterprise while it did correct or clarify a few things... it was also the only new TV series to only last 5 years not 7.
While I think the writers choose to explore the period the Klingons were at War and more violent towards the Federation will gather interest; it also potentially creates problems to resolve... having Klingons looking so drastically different in the past (yet again) at some point there has to be an explanation how the modern Movies / TNG / DS9 / Voyager Klingons look as they do.
Perhaps it might just state many Klingons were augmented, just some took it far further than others, why we then see some looking almost human in ToS. Yet in the early trek movies and TNG they look more like a hybrid between what we've see with Discovery today and those shown on ToS -- perhaps why the Movies and TNG they mostly seem to be a middle ground between the two?
Well... word is floating around that not only will different Klingon houses have different ships to show the Empire isn't as united as it will be in TOS, but that Klingons themselves from each house will have different appearances. Also... my theory is that not ALL Klingons were affected by the Augment Virus that made them look more human in TOS. We may very well see TOS style Klingons later in the series as well.
As to the look of the Klingons in the movies and TNG... Enterprise also showed Klingons with ridges.

As @angrytarg likes to remind us, Mem alpha isn't a completely reliable source for accurate information due to the fact anyone can edit information. Also there is no mention anywhere on it's class in the pilot episodes, so it's hard to verify that with any accuracy and it is mentioned as such when heading here: http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Walker_class then scrolling to the bottom and going here: http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Memory_Alpha:Stub .

Not it's not. It's completely unknown until a canon answer is provided.. Just like the unnamed ship class in FC and DS9, M'Ress' unnamed species, and Klingons obtaining cloaks by unknown means.
Just because MA uses non-canon material to fill in gaps (as well as their own unsourced headcanon they pass off as fact) that dosn't mean it's right.
I'll admit I use Caitian, Akira, and Walker because they're shorter words than describing the ships, I certainly would't just decide a bit of lore is canon just because it appears in some book somewhere. It was also contradicted by ENT, TNG, and 09 well before DSC.
Norway and Yeager dammit... I still want my Typhoon and Jupiter though.
JJ Trek The Kelvin Timeline is just Trek and it's fully canon... get over it. But I still prefer TAR.

TRIBBLE that; i'm not using 'unknown ship class' in conversations
it's walker class, and if you have a problem with it, you can go TRIBBLE yourself

The layout is almost identical, and I'm willing to bet that the proportions ( saucer to underslung hull to pylons to nacelles) aren't that far off either.
At this point they need to be called something, as far as a ship class is concerned until such time it is officially seen or spoken on screen otherwise it needs a name.
