Okay. The idea that they didn’t want to film in Engineering really confused me. Because Encounter At Farpoint made a big show of Picard walking the entire set from top to bottom.
It makes a lot of sense that Roddenberry himself vetoed that idea.
I’m guessing Paramount producers in this case, but it’s hard to know. It seems to me that Maizlish was more about just doing things his way rather than saving the studio money.
And in the end, they just redressed one of the movie sets as Enterprise-D Engineering and saved money anyway.

I had always heard it was Roddenberry that said no Engineering set, but this does make more sense.
Maybe Roddenberry’s PoS lawyer…
