I'm not entirely certain. It just seems like there's more stuff in this
ship. Much of it is the size of things-- the two-wide staircase up to
the gunners' turret takes much less space than the ladderways I'd put
in to my ship. The bridge is quite space-economical, probably in part due
to the front two crew positions being (what looks like) a little lower.
I think the particularly important thing I'll be taking from this design
is that outward is generally a better idea than upward. Upward means you
have to cut holes in decks for ladders (or lifts!) which burns notable
amounts of otherwise good space. (It also means you wind up doing odd
stuff on the deck below so that you don't have a plate hanging out in
the middle of nowhere with nothing to attach to on the other side...
I'm also probably likely to bogart the airlock design. That's one I
suspect it won't be long before it becomes a de-facto .space standard. :)
Another thing I've made note of is the better use of what might otherwise
be "wasted" space-- a good example on Bricriu is the yellow pipe and the
valve in the area just aft of the bridge. That would have been just a flat
chunk of floor in my previous designs.
