Engineering Interiors

You'll have to excuse me for brining what has probably been brought up several times on this forum, but I'm suddenly feeling a renewed sense of frustration here. It's only a minor aesthetic issue, but I've become restless over the fact that our Engineering interiors are all generic and absolutely ubiquitous. I think Cryptic got incredibly lazy here, choosing to use the Engineering area from the tutorial without putting the effort in to create a few unique variants, especially for such iconic ships as the Defiant, Galaxy, and Intrepid class vessels.

Instead we get these Sovereign interiors.

It really bugs me.

    All ship interiors are exactly the same, they aren't dependent on the type of ship. In the future the Foundry system will be used to customize ship interiors, so perhaps when that time comes you can have an engineering room anyway you won't. Until then you have to deal with it.

    Well, yes, I mean that much is obvious. I'm just not entirely happy with it. And I think forcing players to work around that issue - as opposed to creating a mere three or four unique Engineering interior variants like the bridges - is quite simply taking the easy way out.

    The Crew Lounge or the Sickbay doesn't worry me. We're talking about iconic locations here. And there's few places more iconic on a starship than the Bridge and Engineering,
