The Nostromo was probably a lot bigger than we ever saw on screen (I can imagine a bunch of rooms we never saw) and also had a claustrophobic feel as well in most areas. Not to mention we never got to see the interior of the refinery it towed, if it had one. The fact that it was crewed by only seven people would make it feel that much more massive feeling to them.

Awesome picture by the way. I love how the massive this room is compared to the two people in it.

Thank you sir. And you are right of course about the claustrophobia. My scene, in my mind, is set on cargo vessel at port. This empty space would normally be crammed full of goods in transit.
