Why does an ensign get stuck with a bunk in a hallway
Because space is the final frontier, there just isn’t enough on a ship.
But actually I found the bunk in a hallway stuff weird. The ship at any given time is full of civilians, children, people preparing to colonize new worlds, etc. It seemed clear to me that everyone/every family had a nice little apartment they lived in.
I know this was different in the Lower Decks animated show, but was this true in live action?
I also think we see Ro Laren’s quarters at some point and she has standard quarters.
The interior space inside a Galaxy class is immense. A standard US aircraft carrier has a crew of some 3000 sailors. It is utterly dwarfed by the Enterprise-D. Forget the official crew manifest. The real world designers thought too small. 642m in length, 463m wide, 195 height, and 42 decks total. That saucer section alone could house 10k people easy, and probably 50k in an emergency. With only 3k aboard, they all ought to have a respectable living quarters to themselves.

I only recall seeing the hallway bunks in Lower Decks, and I think that was intended as a joke.

I always thought the hallway bunks were for on-call positions to get rest in between work, not meant as personal bunks.
