Hello Johannes, I recently watched Babylon 5 and the short-lived spinoff Crusade on DVD. The station had something like 100k cubic feet per person, but it had very large open volumes. Impossible to tell how much floor space everybody had. The Excalibur from Crusade is even less clear. Unlike Star Trek, Babylon 5 has a 'gritty' feeling, but the Excalibur seems larger than the Enterprise.
This is because both shows are rooted in the same technology - People on sound stages, with pretty sets behind them, dressed funny, pretending they're on a space ship.
cameras, lights, a director who designs the shot and then guides everyone through making a bunch of random scenes that are then edited together to make narrative sense.
as always, in an RPG, the GM is faced with balancing realism versus playability.
