I understand that, even though it is a highly advanced ship from the future, it is just a mining ship but common sense dictates that engineering and design make it fairly simple/safe to navigate through. I mean, one of the fight scenes takes place inside the Romulon ship and the whole time you're wondering if someone is going to fall off the platform and fall the thousands of feet (or more) to their deaths. What sadistic ship designer WOULD EVER think to put something like that in a ship.
A quote from "Galaxy Quest" explains it best to me.
[Gwen and Jason encounter the chompers]
Gwen DeMarco: What is this thing? I mean, it serves no useful purpose for there to be a bunch of chompy, crushy things in the middle of a hallway. No, I mean we shouldn't have to do this, it makes no logical sense, why is it here?
Jason Nesmith: 'Cause it's on the television show.
Gwen DeMarco: Well forget it! I'm not doing it! This episode was badly written!
