Why was the interior designed by simply recycling assets from the Polaris and Perseus? The layout itself is bizarre; the bridge features four seats—one of which is a "contemplation chair" seemingly designed just to torment the captain—while the remote turret controls are tucked away in an "absurdly oversized" engineering room on the lower deck. The corridors are wider than the living quarters, and the windows are positioned at inconsistent heights, with half of them offering almost no view of the outside. Did they actually pat themselves on the back for "increasing the number of windows" while designing it this way? Is this truly the ship that was delayed on the grounds that it was a "civilian vessel" for which Polaris assets could not be reused? And why is the interior darker and duller than of the Perseus? The left is the Galaxy, and right is the Perseus.
