The corridors of the E are SUPOSED to be like that. In the series, the
only reason they were so large was so that the camera crews could get
through them!  What sort of engineer would design spacious halways
for an interstellar battle cruiser?  For decoration I must agree
with you however.  We must keep in mind that the crew may live in the E for
years at a time.  In my opinion, it's a lot easier to live in place
that at least looks nice (even if it is by necessity smaller).
