Bisjac:
you could create JUST the interior. and still have it massive in size and "realistic"

Sevara:
The Enterprise-D is huge. It'd be impossible to do interior and exterior and stay within the brick limit- I've thought about working on it myself: with 42 decks that are 7 bricks high, you'd be looking at a 335-brick tall starship. I'm not even sure you could get the exterior modeled under the brick limit.

I was thinking about doing that

It's quite possible so long as you don't use 1x1 plate bricks for flooring and walls.
Be smart about how you build.

Sevara:
OK, exterior, yes. Exterior and interior, no.

I'd give a rough estimate that the Ent-D is also gonna have a footprint of 1928 studs by 1392 studs. If we made it out of 1x1 bricks (not plates, bricks) and tried to cubescape it that way, it'd take hundreds of millions of bricks.

If you want to see just how mind-bogglingly huge this thing would have to be, there's a Minecraft server where they've been working on recreating the D. It's still not finished after the past two years, and that was with having a custom script build the skeleton of the hull.
