Why are star ships flat? why do they have a top side and a bottom? There is no up or down in space, flying a spaceship should be able to fly in every direction and at any angle. Ideally every starship should be in the shape of a ball. the bridge of the ship should be at the core with sensors on the surface at the ball. It would have phasers and photon/quantum torpedo laundhers all around its circular surface. Something that round object in Star Wars.

Pure aesthetics.
If there was no top or bottom they'd all be flat like a piece of bread of a gravestone lying on the ground. The sphere idea is nice, but if they were all sphere's it'd be a bit boring. Plus the difference size and shapes is divides the dominance between good and evil and tactical and physical advances..

Same reason in space movies that we have sound.

I agree in space battles there is a great deal of sound, although space is a vacuum and there can be no sound. When star ships explode there is huge sound. This is called artisitic licence. Gives the makers of science fiction series have so much freedom. How come replicators on the Enterprise, when they can make something as complex as food, why can't they make weapons, more photon/quantuum torpedos. Rebuild the warp drive of the starship. As for teleportation, Why bother eating? , just teleport food directly into ones stomach and beam it out into space after it has been consumed. I suppose lots of people would be disgusted by that idea. ;D
