[Assorted] What are the advantages of a saucer shaped spacecraft?

Especially the ones that taper to a sharp edge, don't have any visible means of external propulsion, and are coated in chrome.

Saucer-type craft are ideal for atmospheric penetration and maneuvering, as it allows it to bear atmospheric friction on entry and then deal with aerodynamics in a variety of atmosphere types by flying sideways.

In a pinch they can even float on water, just in case the planet they land on is retarded and has like 2/3 water for its surface.
