Giant bedroom for captains on small spaceships

I read it was a civilian focused initiative. Totally understandable.

For the space orgies...

duh.

Its kind of funny how much these quarters remind me of the quarters on the Enterprise D.  And not neccessarily in a good way either consider how...overblown...they were.  But then that's Star Trek for you. 

The whole interior design of the ship gives me Enterprise-D vibes, to be honest. I think it's all the gentle curves, combined with the use of wood. Now, I get why that wouldn't be some people's cup of tea... But, as you can probably imagine, it very much is mine, so I'm pleased as punch. 

Indeed. I see Ryder leaning on that railing in the Captain's quarters, watching the universe pass by...

Even less understandable. Civilians hate hierarchies and privilege on such a dramatic scale.

Not always, but yeah most of the time. Those few times that are the exception also tend to have involved the artists consulting engineers about what would be realistic as they work on the ship/station/etc. 

Yeah, that's why they're under one by the time they arrive and were aware of that. It's the Pathfinder's ship. The Terms Of Use are there.

I agree about the impracticality and the necessary suspension of disbelief. So I'm not making too big a deal of it either way. That said, I'll throw out one other thought: if its assumed the captain will need to meet with people there (officers and guests, for example) then its essentially doubling as an office and public as well as private space. There are reasons beyond just hierarchy why company directors have large offices and the white house is larger than a normal house.

Has anyone on Twitter confirmed we can do this?  

My manager has a far larger space than I do, and their manager has a far larger space.

Hierarchies exist in the private sector. And with Ai pretty much the creation of private corporations, you can see the Tempest as a department of a company and the Pathfinder as a manager of that department. Their private space being much larger makes sense no matter how you slice it. As large as it is? Maybe not, but there's no way of confirming whether or not it should be that big until we get a solid shot of it that's not at some artistic angle.

Either way, them having a bigger room makes sense from a military standpoint, paramilitary standpoint, corporate standpoint, and so on.

I just assumed there was a shutter that could close over the top of it, like with the windows in the two observation lounges, and the cockpit. Besides, something something transparent aluminium something...  (All the Tempest's windows are almost certainly holograms, though. The ship's small enough that you could deffo see them from the outside, otherwise--particularly the ones in the captain's cabin.)

Anyways, yeah, there's plenty of storytelling/gameplay utility in having such a large, sumptuous cabin--even if it wouldn't be terribly practical in the real world. It's like how the Enterprise's bridge was designed to serve as an excellent venue for conversations between characters, rather than as a practical command centre. 

Speaking of, I think the argument on impracticality with the cabin would be that, well, all that space could've been used for some useful equipment (like those weapons people seem to be so keen on ) instead of a massive room. Like I said, I'm super not-fussed - indeed, I'm pleased by the design - but that's, I think, how some people see it. And yeah, I'm pretty positive it's in the same position as Shepard's--I could be wrong, but to me, the shape suggests that it's in that little bubble on the ship's dorsal-aft:

My only problem with this is being limited to collecting spaceship models. I wish we could have other interests like breeding space hampsters.
