This is a problem with all the ship interior "desktop themes". The scales are all out of whack, everywhere, I presume as an engine design decision related to the game camera. It's least noticable in the TOS themes, as the sets they're based on had scales effectively out of whack for the context, as a design decision related to the filming camera and crew of the time period.

When it gets really bad, is when you're doing something like flying a Miranda-class, and it has the Sovereign's engine room in it. I don't care HOW you do the math, that doesn't fit there. And it doesn't change significantly unless you're willing to pour lots of money into things.

I've put money in for an appearance package, and a couple of crew upgrades, but that's been the extent of my willingness to spend in the game.
