Yep, makes sense. Real-world analogue would be the DMV, each one given a large supply of each kind of (non-customized) license plate their state sells in large discrete consecutive chunks of tag numbers.

Yes exactly, and with the lag times in subspace communication, you can't rely on a central database to check against.
I don’t have a problem with that theory, if it applies to all ships of a certain class (i.e. the FC ships which have low registry numbers but are clearly new designs.) but I do have a problem with the California class specifically having registries of 1XXXX (for a brand-new ship no less), 7XXXX and 8XXXX for no real good reasons. Although I have noticed that this was a phenomena only in the first season, and other ships we’ve been introduced to lately have all 7XXXX registries.
Kind of like how Mariner & Boimler are taller IRL then in animated form ^_-
I felt that too, but then again there wasn't actually much to base that on. It wasn't near much to compare to. I think its just the cartoon style made it seem small.
I agree, I think this is just Lower Decks's visual style. The Cerritos doesn't feel like a particularly big ship, particularly early on, but it's about the same size as an Ambassador-class and several times Voyager's volume. They seem to deliberately exaggerate window size.
The Steamrunner is named after Fabio Passaro, and the registry number is his birthdate

I loved the Steamrunner bridge - very much the kind of think they would have done on TNG by redressing sets. It was basically like the Enterprise-C bridge, with the battle bridge viewscreen!
And were the white, rounded corridors on Locarno’s ship a little nod to the Kelvinverse Enterprise?

Oh interesting...so like 130 meters smaller.
Between Lower Decks and Picard thats a lot of new classes in a very short time period. I'm undecided if thats good. I kind of wish this was just a Steamrunner.

Well, that opens a whole new can of worms design wise.
Decent design and a nice homage in memorium.
I do like the idea that they can scale up and down as requirements are needed for mission profiles.
The bridge is looking a little bit weird on that picture
