EDIT: If you are wondering why I brought up the turbolifts, look at the ship. The engineering section is in between the nacelles, not attached to the saucer.

On TNG there’s a wide corridor that links into that circular one.
But well, the ship is supposed to have several levels, isn’t it? IDK what is in that place on the other levels.
Also, shouldn’t engineering be lower than the saucer? And shouldn’t the circular corridor be on the saucer? Maybe the corridor goes “up” and gravity just works differently there.
Look at the ship. Engineering is located between the nacelles, away from the saucer.
Oberth class is the worst offender.
Those nacelle struts are pretty large, that’s not an issue. I have always wondered what the point of the design was, but getting to the secondary isn’t a problem. They aren’t going through the nacelle.
Obviously the turblift cabin is simply beamed in its entirety when crossing the gap.
At least theoretically you can walk through the pylons to get to engineering. On the California-class it seemed like you COULD ONLY walk through the nacelles.
Ship Designer: “Here you go, Engineering. That problem of nacelles too far away? Solved.”
