Also a win for visibility. That is a nicely refurbished corridor. Not just some drab, dimly lit walkway with limited access.
Behind the curtains, DS9 had two disconnected corridor sets. One was outside the crew quarters / wardroom, and the other connected the airlock & cargo bay. Neither was all that large, especially when compared to TNG & Voyager’s long snaking main hallway set, so DS9 never had long walk & talks in the corridors. (DS9 did have the Promenade, though, which was probably more visually interesting for those types of scenes.)
Explains the tight shots when they do slightly linger in those sections. Thanks for the insight.
The Promenade was actually just 1/4th of the Promenade with 2 of the walls being painted to look like it kept going. Kinda like a wile e coyote tunnel.
