It's been a challenge, because tecnically, the interior does not fit inside the exterior model. I've had to make some modifications to get a "fit".
Basic plans are to have a complete version (poly heavy because of everything in it), a loadable "Hull" (there's a fake interior window mesh, so you can just apply a render of the interior to it, for lower memory requirement exterior only shots), and then just an interior set, if you just want to use the interior for scenes.
Rather then have everything load as one figure, the majority of interior props and set pieces will be smartprops. That way they can be loaded into other sci-fi scenes, plus it'll be eaiser to select the various material zones.
Plus in many cases, they added or move set props around in the series, so you can add additional non control chairs for passengers if you like.
Way too many people take way too many things way too seriously.
