[Star Trek] Why are the main hulls of federation ships saucer shape?
gpt
The shape of ships in Star Trek have a lot to do with keeping the warp field stable and efficient and the specific shape of ships for any given species depends on the sort of warp technology that species has. For the Federation that shape was a saucer but as their warp drives got faster they changed into ovals and arrowheads.
