[Star Wars: The Old Republic/Star Wars in general] Why is there so much wasted space on capital ships?

I can understand hangars being really big and having lots of space to land ships in, but why is the bridge on a Sith Empire capital ship so large?

These ships are built for war, so why does The Empire allow for these ships to be built with so much wasted space?

I don't know about The Old Republic, but in the modern era they're not built for war, exactly, they're built to intimidate the Empire they patrol. 

They're supposed to be huge and frightening compared to anything the local systems might be able to put up against them.
