OK, I understand now. I'm working on the cutaway. You can see the shuttle bay, lower are stored shuttles and underneath can be repair bay and spare parts.

What are the two ope squares in the saucer and secondary hull? Too small for the computer cores...claustrophobic's quarters? Zero-G dodgeball?
Stellar Cartography mabye (though too big).

That should be computer cores. But as I said, I've just begin with this. Do you think it's too small? 3 decks tall? Ambassador is smaller than Galaxy, needs smaller cores

Not that much smaller! I'd have the core at least six decks tall- this is the refit after all- computer capacity is what most starship refits would be all about after all.
Hell- the Sovvie and Galaxy's computers are the core of the ship.

OK, OK. But what about nanotechology? Everything is getting smaller and smaller Refit has the same size core, but with more capacity
OK, I made it bigger

Besides, Voyager spoiled any chance of the word "nanotechnology" ever being cool on trek.
I've got an idea! we'll make that large chamber a V.R. room where the ship's pilot will use kung fu and boxing to activate the ship's weapons!
Wait, that's the single dumbest idea ever. only a moron would like that.

Yeah, I was thinking about full holographic bridge. It may change, when you enters combat - tactical officer will just point a finger to holographic target and ship will fire But have no idea, what would they do, when they loose power

You're just never going to get over that gripe, are you?

Computer cores are huge on most starships. Even though they keep getting smaller these days, a huge core conveys the sense that whatever computing needs teh ship has are way, way beyond whatever we've got now. Today, they've got ten story building-sized computers used for weather modelling that STILL aren't good enough.

No. It's the worst idea in al of sci-fi, IMHO. Also, JMS was going on and on about how great the movie was both before and after it aired. It killed the last shred of admiration I had for him. But it's far off topic, so I'll stop ranting (for now).
A holographic bridge would not work real well because we're always seeing power failures on Trek, but of it had a physical backup, stuff like future Jadzia's "holographic controls" might be nice- particularly if you could access the controls from anywhere on the ship in an emergency.
Besides, if they had a holographic bridge, we'd never get to see Unnamed Crewman get caught in a control panel explosion. And that makes an episode for me.

I had run a slight tangent rant on the stupidity of the TV movie Legend of The Rangers, wherein the pilot used a V.R. interface to fire the ship's weapons by using some cheesy tae-bo nonsense moves.
It was baaaad. So bad, I could not even laugh at it in a MST3K way. I was in shock that it ever got produced- or even made it past the storyboard stage.
