Unless you artificially constrain it, it mostly just makes sense to make rectangle shaped spaceships

If we could make spaceships in orbit, you'd bet they'd be quite rectangular too

If they never have to enter an atmosphere, then you only have to consider stress due to acceleration and impacts from smallish matter.
