Starship Interior or wasted space?

I rarely ever visit the inside of any of the ships in my fleet. There is little to no difference between interiors aside from the bridge and trophies. Everything else is exactly the same.
I have some suggestions that would really improve the interior of our beloved behemoths. We can already customize the exterior to a good extent, which is awesome, but we need some way to make the inside our own.
For starters, the crew. I think it would be a great option if we could change the default uniform for our ship's crew. Since we only have three or four types of crewmen on board (tactical, engineering, science, and medical), having a default uniform for each department would put them on the random crew of different species, gender, faces, etc. This should be possible somehow, seeing the TOS uniforms on the crew of the TOS interior. I expected the Belfast bridge to have the DS9 uniforms, but I don't think they do.
Next, the hallways of our ship should match the bride layout. The Belfast and TOS bridges that can be unlocked by the respective bundles are perfect examples. They change the entire interior, not just the bridge. The color scheme should at least change to match it.
While I mention the bundle unlocked interiors, I really hope we get an improved Enterprise bundle that includes a bridge for the NX class ships.
Basically, the interior of our ships should be as unique as our captains and officers. It's an open field for customization, but I see none being implemented as of yet.
I'm open to feedback of course, I'd like to hear what people think of this.

Those hallways are a work of art waiting to happen!
Plus on a Note side just to say that if you all remember when they updated the Command Carrier lots and lots of ppl complained about bugs and they hated it or other stuff but imagine this it would be a hell a lot worse.
Basicly what I am saying is that what they should do if fix all the bugs before adding new stuff what I mean about that is idk make a hole season or a year of fixing bugs and then after its done release all the new stuff that we all like
All I sayd here is my opinions and suggestion plus I want them to focus on fixing the bugs instead of ignoring some and add more and more stuff.
They're going to need to dedicate a season to making bridges a useful source of actual content before they think it's worth doing. Right now it's just a shell - and I hope it changes at some point!
Kirk's Protege.
All I'm doing here is promoting the idea and throwing my name in the hat for those who support it.
I like your idea, but for this to work we would need a better tool to shape rooms. The current one (the one that is used in the Foundry) converts form 2D into 3D. You have to load the map everytime you change the height to see if everything is OK.
Ship interiors are useless!
There's a distinct lack of reason to go there. Sure, a strip club may attract some people but for the rest of us, it's just that occasional mission where you have to place a Bat'leth tournement trophy, or play with encrypted files in your readyroom. Most people seem to find those segments annoying.
Personally, I'd like missions that took place on your ship. For example "Borg have invaded! Go murder your entire crew". This may not be compatable with designing your own bridges though... Also, somebody in a Vo'quv would be significantly disadvantage compared to his friend in a B'rel
The day will not save them. And we own the night.

And they could generate $$$ at the same time.
Given that it's a reasonable price, of course.
thread on how ship interiors could be monetized and therefore be useful.
you get a certain set of assets and a certain set of boundaries - or preset spaces and add what you want to them - ie particles, lighting and other things - and then when you click on the visit bridge it would associate your bridge map with the ship your using and bam , custom ship interiors. most of the mechanics are already in place and since the game already loads "map space" anyways for your bridge this should be easy
