Spoilers Starship Design in Star Trek: Picard

Did anyone else spot a FASA Derf-class in the Starfleet Museum at the end??

That was the Pioneer. It was also there in Episode 9. As Dukhat says that little bit on the bottom is the secondary hull

Your calculation assume the Enterprise aligns with the forward edge of the cube. It's not quite clear what it actually aligns to, but let's assume it aligns rather centric to the antennas:
The front edge of the cube in your picture is 660px, the back edge 560, so center is 610px.
As per your formula: taking the Enterprise at 17px results in ~23km.
Enterprise at 17px may be over estimate, reducing it to 15px and taking the 660px forward edge gives 28km.
I know, I tried it with both the back end and the midpoint, but as I was looking for just a ballpark figure and as 25km is a nice roundish number and it gave the most precise length measurements I stuck with it.
 
3.0365889718756625194208095785057 km on each side if the 28 km³ are referenced in the episode.
Significant figures are your friend :vulcan:

Interestingly the on-screen graphic when they're plotting the route through the cube shows the classic Borg cube dimensions – 3km to a side, 28km³ in volume. Perhaps the Enterprise-D computer was a little confused in its old age...

Probably a typo from somebody who was setting up the graphics.

They didn't get the memo that the Queen's Cube was going to be bigger, MUCH bigger.
 
Did the Nebula class look too small compared to the E-D, once they were both in those rings?

The Nebula saucer is supposed to be the same size as the Galaxy class saucer. E-D's looks way wider compared to the ring.

Optical illusion?

Sure, let's call it that. All the ships seemed to have their sizes cheated a bit to fit comfortably into identical rings (unlike the concept art, where the rings were bigger or smaller depending on the ship), while the -D was added in at something closer to an accurate size, probably to make it the most prominent exhibit in the shot as much as anything.
 
Yeah, there's no way the HMS Bounty was that big compared to either the NX-01 or the 1701-A. There's a lot of artistic license going on with these display ships in their docking rings just so we can actually see them all in wide shots of the Fleet Museum.
 
So warp speed looks like the Kelvin universe on the Titan, but hop onto the old Enterprise and it's the old streaking stars.

I got nuthin':shrug:
In STO (non canon, I know), the warp effect depends on the person, not the ship. An officer from the 2250s makes their ship jump like in DSC, whereas a 25th century officer has the TNG-era effect. Perhaps it is a matter of perception?
