What UESPA is in star trek?
I thought I made it up.

The windows are for docking and manoeuvring mainly and the wheel is only supposed to produce 0.5g.

What did your acronym stand for?

And any windows would not be that large. You've have a cupola for a single person, no more.

And even that is questionable. I really doubt if it's even possible to dock something this large manually.

I have docked something bigger than this in a simulator.

Keyword being simulator. Even today all dockings in space are done by computers. The last time anyone tried doing it manually they took mod of MIRs airlocks out of comission for several weeks.

This is for the 22nd century so docking is not a problem anyway.

Then remove the windows.

Sir, it's not the force of gravity that is the deciding factor in the diameter of the grav deck.
Your true limiting factor is the speed at which the deck must spin, and the amount of 'gravity distortion' that will result from the relationship between the speed of the spin and the diameter of the 'wheel.'

If the 'wheel' is too small, it must rotate very, very rapidly. The resultant forces acting on the object would therefore be very different between the observer's head and feet-1G at your feet might be 0.75G at you head, or even less! If you think that occasional shifts in gravitational force on a boat or in a plane can be slightly disorienting, try having every single movement you make produce such an effect! Constructing a very large wheel will not only reduce the amount of 'gravity distortion,' it will allow you to put more of your ship in the grav deck and thus reduce the amount of time spent in low-G. Additionally, the effect of the spinning gravity deck will produce rotation in the balance-regulating structures of the ear... 2 RPM or less is ideal, 7 RPM is tolerable in adaptable individuals.

Look it up on Wiki, man... good article there which will explain this to you, and which actually has the formula to find out how fast a given diameter grav deck will have to spin to produce a given gravitational force!

Why should I remove the windows?

And the seconded is mostly the wheel.
I think you need the look at the scale bar again.
