''Actually, i can answer this. From an engineering standpoint, circular ships are atrocious. They have more front drag applied to them than a more cylindrical ship which, while not being that big of a deal in the vacuum of space, means that in order for it to survive re-entry into an atmosphere (and the leaving of an atmosphere) It's entire hull has to be more reinforced. This extra reinforcing of the hull means that the circular one will end up losing a foot or more in it's radius (which is kind of a big deal for a ship that size) and that results in a lot less usable space. The more cylindrical ship can afford to skip on the armoring of the other ares of the ship, so long as the exposed nose is more reinforced, which means that they have more usable space to work with. Also, given a rectangle/tube and a circle of the same area, you're going to be able to get more rooms out of the rectangle/tube due to the area of possible equal sections.''
