What is this room?

lol....none of that even begins to explain anything. what you describe is simple scenery. there is no logical explanation for the function or purpose of any of these ships...nor to explain the massive sizes that are comprised of 90% open space.

what youre doing is trying to rationalize the decorations with their placement...which is backwards design. "that control panel is there on the wall because of the machinery behind it."....no....you think theres machinery behind it because they put a control panel there.

yes yes...i know, we need a place to run around and kill things, that is the one and only reason these ships are the size they are. there is no lore friendly explanation for any of this.
ships the size of small cities...almost entirely empty. theres no point in trying to make it make sense...de doesnt bother to do so. they are pretty set pieces and nothing more....which is fine...thats all they need to be.

Well... is real that in fact everything is just "place to run around and kill things", but each room on each tyleset has a logic explanation.

Of course if you look at the single decoration anything is witohut sense, but you should look at the room as one thing, so you can imagine what's the purpose of that room.

Using as example only the "corpus ship" tyleset, you can find drydock, storage area, transport system, room with gun, fighter hangar, laboratories, machinery room, amenities etc... etc...  

Each room, from the smaller to the bigger, has a logic explanation that you can understand looking at his decoration; sometimes is easy and intuitive, sometime is a little bit hard, but to be honest, in the case of the room e are talking about, i have absolutely any idea.

Seems pretty clear from the file names and captura name and presence of portals, that the corpus use these portal rooms for easy access to off-ship storage of supplies and stuff, so they don't have to waste fuel/energy on transporting it all over the place (one assumes the portals are more energy efficient than the energy cost of fuel to move it all through space.)

Plus 1 for the most thought out sensible answer. :) ^{_{unlike mine}}

No, plus 1 for recognizing the one dude who tries harder than the rest of us.

Why not both?  It seems sensible that those two concepts may even be related. ;)
