I still can't get used to the magnitude of the hallways onboard the different starships I beam onto on away mission. However in the shows and with normal reasoning I can't imagin how you could make those hallways and rooms so damn larg. In TNG series the walkways aren't even 2 meters wide and at the most 3 meters high. Please if you get around to make it possible to walk around ones own starship, don't make the same mistake making it to damn big.
I believe the problem is that the current engine doesnt have a suitable camera system for that sort of thing. It would seem like it is missing the function to not draw walls when the cameras is behind one soo yeah. odd considering this third person type thing has been done now for 5+ years without oversized sets.

Too late. Have you seen our bridges? They are the size of opera theaters! That's our best indication that more interiors will be done in a large scale.
Unfortunately, they have said they are going to make interiors bigger because it "feels right". I wish they would give us both large and correctly scaled bridges. Then let us decide.
If the bridges are this big, imagine main engineering :eek: Camera issue is one thing but Cryptic has made walls and bulkheads 20 feet thick ish. The main viewer on any cruiser (optional bridge) is 15 feet high ish. I think it is safe to say the hallways will be as we have already seen, 20 feet wide and littered with random items.
As I understand it, there is more to it than just camera angles. This game does have a collision detection systems and this could cause issues with larger scale onship/station navigation and combat. (Especially for the AI.)

I want smaller interiors!
seriously though, i would love to be able to walk the halls and explore the inside of my own ship.
