That's okay, it's a Borg cube.

Me playing Terraria about to build my third epic shoebox base to hoard all the items I'll never use.

Me playing Kingdom Hearts.
I've never even seen a ship. I didn't even know there was a ship until a year or two after i started playing.
I've still never seen it.
It's a DLC that came out recently
Odyssey DLC just dropped recently...
But there was still a ship, the one you build to end the game
Yes, but those ships look completely different. More like the skeleton of a ship.
Yup! That's exactly what i referring to.
New DLC
Honestly it's kinda fult of the game maker to not enforce some constraints that would force some cooler designs.
Mildly impossible, there are some limitations of geometry itself that make certain designs optimal no matter how railroady the game mechanics, and naturally players will optimize the fun out of anything.
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.
Only if you didn't have to pressurize them. Corners are bad news.

Also applicable to Cosmoteer
And Factorio: Space Age
As some one currently redesigning a box space ship in Factorio I can confirm this.
I've made ships that have made it to the first 3 planets.
They never make it back though, and I always forget I need a way to use the research on each planet.
The bioplanet with its stupid item half life timers can fuck all the way off though.
I just overbuild every ship and then don't need to worry about if my ships make it back.
And BossConstructor
I always wind up with ships that are much more phallic than boxy in Cosmoteer
factorio spaceage is very much like this
Should have made a hexagon
Ahaaaa I thought I recognized azul crescent :3 she's delightful~
She's great!
I did this in the first Kingdom Hearts. I maxed out the number of gummies I could use and basically made a giant cube with a bunch of wings and guns and stuff. It was actually pretty good.
This is fascinating to me because i always end up with a cross between a Terran battlecruiser from Starcraft and the Normandy SR2.
Need to get oddessy and see if that persists there.
