Surely their sphere ships make more sense? Not withstanding funky star trek technology, a sphere is a stronger shape than a cube is it not?
Why not egg-shaped (there is a reason why eggs have such a shape...)?
Eggs are probably supposed to be spherical or very nearly but need to be elongated a little to make it easier for hens to lay them.
Eggs, as far as I know, are shaped the way they are because if they where spherical, they'd roll away. The way they're shaped, they just roll in little circles.
