Imporant note to starship designers, even those designing ships for alien races whose culture appears to be Roman-inspired:

SHIPS DO NOT HAVE ATRIUMS. Thank you.

(What the HELL were they thinking? "Hey, let's have a distributed superstructure in the hopes that they'll shoot THROUGH THE MIDDLE?" I got four words for them in that one: "Mr. Data, target engines." Picard and/or Riker used to say that in fights. and in a D'Dereidex, hell, they got twice as much possible room to smite. Besides, cloaking that thing must be a bitch and three-quarters, way more surface area to make nonvisible.)
