The high ceiling is a big part of it... and it's that way for
"cinematic" rather than "realism" . On the one hand, it makes it
easier for players to see what's going on.
On the other... there should be a little of the cramped feel.
I'm starting to ceiling mount things here and there - the
red/white/black thing near the turret is one of the 5 capacitors
onboard, and that one's earmarked for the laser.
I'm planning on putting some more stuff here and there to help fill in
 the visuals.
I'm spreading the hardware across the ship for survivability - the
grey box behind the lounge table is "Battery Bay 1" . Battery 2 is
catty-corner across the ship, on the theory that _one_ of them should
survive the ship being shot up.

Four small fusion modules.  One of which can run life support, one of
the two M-Drives, and slowly charge a cap ..
Five capacitors, and 3 are enough to fire the jump drive
Two power bus controllers, one in each engineering bay
Two life support systems, one in each bay
Jump drive controller is in the port bay, and heat sink systems in the
starboard... which is awkward.
I'm planning on two loops in the coolant system, so you can switch
primary or secondary, but that system feels like it's going to have a
lot more common spots and would be more of an engineering nightmare to
completely split.
