that simply suggests the connie is larger than this quest's assumptions and has a three, not two, deck main saucer. edit: or possibly even four decks.The size debate is very weird. There are official comparison illustrations for the purposes of the filming model's construction.
Meshes up quite well with the Constitution class before the rebuild being 289 metres long, 127.1 metres wide and 72.6 metres tall. Ergo even excluding the multitude of background sources from over the decades the D7 is ~228 metres long.The size debate is very weird.

again.
this is TWO. DECKS. TALL. you can literally see the windows. it is the SAME THICKNESS as the Sagarmatha's main saucer. D6s and D7s are LARGE.
For reference, I mocked up an "about" what a D6/D7 deck layout would be. the main body of the ship is about the same height as the saga (~11-12 decks) but the overall lines mean it's simply a substantially larger ship.
that's a rough of approximately where the decks are. The D6/D7 is not small, it is not small at all even discounting the pylons and nacelles. The only way you get a D7 being only ~200ish meters long is if you assume that the Klingons are using ~2 meter decks to our 3.5 meter decks (that's about as small as you could reasonably go while maintaining crew spaces large enough to be comfortable for human-scale life forms to move in).
Now, Klingon technology being better during this time period plus their overall design preferences might allow for smaller deck height, I'll grant, but for comparison purposes I've been assuming that most human sized species build their decks at about the same size vertically.
She shrank in the wash! I shouldn't have used that off-brand fabric softener...
Or, alternatively, the Klingon aesthetic calls for no large windows because they look vulnerable, and so the section used as a guide for how many decks there are is actually only one deck with two rows of small windows.For reference, I mocked up an "about" what a D6/D7 deck layout would be. the main body of the ship is about the same height as the saga (~11-12 decks) but the overall lines mean it's simply a substantially larger ship.

anyway.
[X] Extra Crew Quarters
[X] Cargo Bay (+3 Cargo)
because that seems to be the "Keep it at home when it's not blasting Klingons" option which is my desire.
Ships automatically a have a small amount of cargo. It is spread around in-between other rooms.
Come to think of it, have any of the Klingon ships' interior sets featured windows? I do not recall seeing any in Star Trek IV, TNG, DS9, or anywhere else.
Window scaling outside of the hero ships in Star Trek is often very fraught with error, because you get all sort of stuff like the huge Enterprise D model being used to represent ships that are meant to be less than half the length or beam with windows just like the big gal making these ships huge monstrosities.
Thank you very much!
Wrong vote pal
Yeah. The things that look like windows may not be windows at all, merely panels.
I'm quite sure we haven't unlocked this technology yet. We're not even close to infinitely improbable, never mind plumbing the mysteries of bistromath.
