When I watch star wars or star trek I noticed the ships look aerodynamic. Wouldn't it be better to make them as small as possible instead of long triangle shaped fighters?

Regardless of aerodynamics the ships need to look cool on screen, and they need to be identifiable as something akin to contemporary planes and ships.

Some of these ships also need to fly in atmosphere(s) (e.g. the battle at the start of Star Wars Episode III) so it makes sense for them to be aerodynamic.
