Spent some time online looking for images of what I would consider to be good and plausable, TOS era looking vessels. I found a couple of beauties. These are 2 Starfleet vessels that I've created stats for.
The first is a Firestorm-class Light Cruiser.
Built after the original 12 Constitutions it was intended to fill a secondary exploration and defense line at a reduced crew requirement.
Production Data
Origin: UFP
Class and Type: Firestorm-class Light Cruiser
Year Launched: 2257
Transporters: 4/4/4
Cargo Units: 50
Shuttlebay: 1 a
Shuttlecraft: 5 size worth each
Tractor Beam: 1 fv
Seperation System: No
Sensor System: Class 3 (D)
Operations System: Class 3R (DD)
Life Support: Class 3R (DD)
The second is a TOS era Defiant class.
The idea for this one was is that it's a Q-ship used by Temporal Investigations: Operations Division (or Temporal Operations for ease) for era specific timeline observations and interactions. Anyone who see's it believes it to be a CLASSIFIED Escort ship operated by Starfleet and slightly reducing the chance of Major cultural contamination and other possible Temporal changes. And most won't see it due to the use of a Romulan Cloaking Device. Those who do, well they'll most proably think that's what happened to the Cloak Kirk stole (The Enterprise Incident).
Production Data
Origin: UFP
Class and Type: Defiant-class Heavy Escort
Year Launched: CLASSIFIED
Transporters: 1/1/1
Cargo Units: 40
Shuttlebay: 1 av
Shuttlecraft: 4 size worth each
Tractor Beam: 1 fv
Seperation System: No
Sensor System: Class 2 (C)
Operations System: Class 2 (B)
Life Support: Class 2 (B)
Cloak: Class 2 (18)
NB: Out of curiousity I did an Audit of the 'Starships' Defiant to see if they credited space for only having 1 of each transporter. Turns out they overspent by 20 space, and that was even after moving it up a size category from 4 to 5.

Reason: Should really add the stats.
Here's one more TOS era starship for you, this time a civillian vessel, the Class III Neutron Fuel Carrier (of which the Kobyashi Maru is the most infamous).

Origin: UFP
Class and Type: Class-3 Neutron Fuel Carrier
