And, for that matter, all the bridge sets of the TNG era. I remember being astounded by the TNG interior sets, not because they were amazing, but because they were so absurdly vast and... beige. The bridge of the Enterprise (D) looks more like the lobby of some preposterous Belgian hotel than the control room of a starship.

You know what's even funnier? That engine room (and Ten Forward) in an NX-class. Hopefully one of these days there'll be an interior set pack for that one like there is for the TOS-era Connie. Which, awesomely, has Jefferies tubes!
