  There are various other design considertions, for example if a ship is crewed and has a radiation source, like a nuclear reactor, you want to put it as far away from the crew as possible. So the reactor would be on one end and the crew on the other. This and other examples tend to lead to longer shapes for the ships.

  N0ble, danieldan0: Concepts for bigger modern or futuristic interplanetary or even interstellar spacecraft are all elongated and oriented along the direction of travel. First, that's because the engine acceleration stresses a long shape less than a wide shape, saving weight on structural reinforcements. And second, small debris particles can't be ignored. Not for drag, but for the impact damage. And a long shape reduces the risk of impact.

  @danieldan0 But there's no drag in space.

  noice! but this is bad shape for ship, i think. it would be pretty slow, if it uses modern rocket engine (made by humans).
