There are so many reasons that geometry of a space ship matters from pressurization structural stability, acceleration stress, to deflection angle of space debris during travel.
Shouldn’t spaceships be a collection of tubes?
If you removed the disk of the enterprise you’re basically there.
A disk is just a very short tube.
In CAD maybe but air pressure doesn’t work that way
Not with that attitude it doesn’t! We’ve got shields to tell the air pressure how to behave.
