Current bases in terms of layout make no sense?

Or what do you people think?
Ok, bare with me.. As I am NOT saying the point of a base makes no sense.
No, I AM saying that base LAYOUT makes no sense.
Its great they are modular. A good plus. But in essence we only have corridors. You can shove something against the wall sure, but its all the same in terms of corridors.
As in, what is the PRACTICAL use to build certain modules? Bends? Can hardly place anything in a bend.
No real point to make module upon module.. Most you need can be fitted into 2 cross ones.
Sure outside looks can matter but, would they waste material on just looks IRL?
I know its a game, and I know.. early development.. But I wish bases would be more. Practical, more realistic in terms of room used. (Note I know absolutely nothing of real current underwater building).
Think of aesthetic sleeping quarters.. Modules to dock submarines at. Etc etc.. let the mind wander on the possibilities.

Comments
Also, some people just like building bases just for the sake of building them. I think UWE has added bases partially due to interest/direction by the community. If people like building bases, then we will let them.
(I did actually do a search but not much useful showed up for me)
- Larger Generic Room
- Base Bulkheads
- Signage
- Observatory
- Moon pool
- Power system mk 2
- Glass Hallway
Other stuff I have heard about:
- Docking station for Cyclops
- Large base doors/airlocks
Also, you might be interested in this thread.
Thanks.

As im not fully sure what base stuff is planned, im staying quiet at the moment.
