I'd have to call the scaffolding-style docks (such as those we've seen at Utopia Planitia) we've seen "wet docks", since ships are still exposed to space.

plus, can you imagine pressurizing that entire bay? Imagine how much air they'd need to fill that cavern. You're talking roughly 8,275,897 cubic meters... of air. just so you can work on the exterior of one or two ships.
Makes a lot more sense to use the drydocks, and just use a forcefield, worker bees, or space suits.

Another factor no one is considering, is that your ship is roughly human size. All of the ships we show out the windows have to be saved off as environment assets, and scaled up like 65x. Spawning your ship outside would look ridiculous.

I don't think anyone knows or realizes all the work you had to do just to scale up the models for that Holo-display on UPS and all the other tweaking it took just for that scale.
Speaking of the models you scaled, any chance us Excelsior Captains are ever going to get a wall trophy of the Excelsior put in game?

Lemee see if I can find some...

I wanna see that character model firing Photons... or that ship firing a phaser pistol. XD

Do we know if the San Francisco Fleet Yards are still in operation?
