I love that room cause itr reminded me of the TOS engine roomCould be for access to the nacelle control room (seen in TNG: Eye of the Beholder) which is above that docking port located inside the nacelle itself. Especially if the nacelle pylon or the Jefferies Tube is damaged in some way and it's too dangerous to use transporters so you have to take a shuttle to gain access or rescue someone.

Is that from Eye Of The Beholder?

Yes. Is the stuff between the parentheses cloaked or something?
I think it might be, especially for the tired
I like how the nacelle control room has an almost NX-class, 22nd century metallic finish. That room would fit aboard Archer's Enterprise.
Quite right.... Maybe the D has a catwalk in the nacelle too just like the NX when the plot demands it.
It's a popular make out spot.
It's certainly a popular murder spot!
We know where Riker went when he wasn't on duty. That trombone's seen things.
Terrible things.
Terrible things.
Thanks for making me laugh........ Now I can't unsee that image.
Don't be such a prude. It's not that bad.
However the thought of it happening to Riker is.
Would it be classic jazz, or more dixieland jazz?
Keep in mind that the real USS Constitution is over 200 years old, and still in active service. You can't tell the service status of those old ship just from some throwaway VFX shots. For all we know they are in Space Dock being scrapped after 90 years in mothballs.

Having a hull in service that long is viable in space due to no oxygen or water which means no rust.
The extreme cold could be an issue but that would already be solved via an internal heat source otherwise the crew wouldn't survive anyway due to exposure.
Mothballing hulls is going to be due to cost of upgrades/upgrade limitation of the hull or structural integrity failure from prolonged high warp travel, ship battles or collisions.
Also Tribbles.
I like how it was shown in nuBSG with each jump taking its toll on the structural integrity of the ship to the extent that it actually broke the ships back, it makes sense as these ships may be operated in a weightless environment but that doesn't change their sheer mass and internal weight which is easily into the millions of tons.
