Comment on Lieutenant Tar won't be joining us for the rest of her life
Zorque@kbin.social 1 year agoI'm imagine if it was a different class of ship, it would also have different jeffries tubes. I think the Enterprise, Defiant, and Voyager tubes are all styled differently, but consistently with their ship.

Yeah it seems unreasonable to me that the Defiant and Enterprise D wouldn’t have totally different size Jeffries tubes considering how different in scale and function the two ships are.

But isn’t the point of the tubes to be well, tubes? Leading to barely accessible spaces in the inner workings of the ship that don’t need to be accessible very often.
It wouldn’t make sense that the tubes are suddenly larger or smaller because the ship sizes are different. If anything they would just have more or less tubes.
Anything that needs to be worked at or accessed frequently is not tucked away in a Jeffries tube (think warp core).

Different ships have different size requirements. There's lots of space in a Galaxy class starship, so the tubes can afford to be bigger (and thus easier for people to crawl through). The Defiant is a very utilitarian ship, so space is at a premium and thus the tubes are smaller.
Context matters, even if you don't care about it.
