30th/31st century ships seemed to employ a bigger on the inside design philosophy. Maybe the 32nd century refit/cover up into the A installed this.
Yeah not likely I know

Spoilers STAR TREK: SECTION 31 - Grading & Discussion
- Thread starter Commander Richard
- Start date
It's not there on the SNW maps. At least, I think we've seen maps in SNW of that side of Fed space.
I wish I could find the tweet, but someone did try and measure the Discovery Season 2 turbolift shaft scene, and they said it could just barely fit within Discovery. There's also a cutaway of the ship from the Season 2 artbook that shows a big empty space that's probably meant to be it.
Season 3's however, yeah that one is way too big, and the one in Q&A Short Trek.
Season 3's I can handwave because we know from Enterprise that they have TARDIS tech by that century.

There were big buildings in those turbolift caverns! I'd have loved an episode exploring it as a weird liminal bizarro world between the decks.
I honestly think the funhouse in Q&A is there just because the production needed a CGI asset of a "Turbolift shaft" and didn't want to spend the money and design a new one. They just used what they already had.
It also shows a Starbase well outside of the boundaries of the Federation. Such good attention to detail in all departments on this turkey.Gotta love how the 2324 Era star map in this movie shows a Demilitarized Zone between the Federation and the Cardassian Union that won't exist for another 46 years.
I mean, other, FAR better chapters of the franchise also make graphics department mistakes and it can be annoying for the fans who are anal retentive, but damn, this map just makes a bad movie that much worse.
Let me tell you something, I just watched Gladiator II, and that movie had multiple things that were 10x dumber than antlything in the S31 movie.
Including filling the Coliseum with water for a naval battle (water tight coliseum?) and putting multiple Great White sharks in there?
Not to mention letting the protagonist ride unchallenged thru 6,000 enemy soldiers to catch up to Denzel so he can go 1 v 1 with him.
So bad.

Can I add Into Darkness and maybe Nemesis as well?
"Code of Honor" may well be THE worst Star Trek episode ever. And I mean ever.
That one doesn't particularly bother me either.
So, beside the Naumachia, what have the Romans ever done for us?
Except, they did the naval battle part.
Romans were all about spectacle. Humanity hasn't changed much in terms of entertainment.
I gave it an 8. It was OK as a pilot but I admit the odds of there being other offerings from this segment of the brand are rare.
What I liked
What could have been better
What I liked
- The Section 31 ensemble team was interesting.
- The background on Georgio
- A peek at “regular life” in the Terran Empire
- The reveal on who played Control
What could have been better
- Pace of the story could have been faster. It dragged at points.
- Would have liked better space battle stuff but that would have required them to have more than a garbage scow.
- I didn’t really get the whole Hunger Games approach to picking the next Emperor. I guess I thought it would have been hereditary???
I actually have a fair amount of fondness for Into Darkness. It's got some dumb stuff I don't like (CumberKhan, Spock vs. Khan fight, Khan yell repeat, superblood) but I also quite a bit I do (fantastic visuals, Peter Weller hamming it up, Kirk and Spock's falling out, the emotional hit of Pike's death, and a bunch of little background stuff like the Klingon design), and it has Section 31 being what I'd want them to be compared to this movie.
They seem to have embraced the whole kill and move up thing introduced in TOS "Mirror, Mirror".

Even S31 is better than that nougated turd. Considerably.
