I completely disagree. We're talking about interstellar spacecraft here. These craft obviously don't have to contend with the restraints atmospheric craft have to put up with, due to aerodynamics, etc.
The point is, you don't have to have a ship with any particular shape. If you want a square ship, with decks that are identical to each other, it isn't inherently worse than a ship with a different structural shape. If you want true realism, every ship from every race would be spherical, since that's the shape that provides the most internal volume for the least expenditure of resources. In that case, every ship would have nearly identical decks, just slightly smaller or larger than the previous deck. Saying that decks being different in shape from each other is more realistic is, in my personal opinion, not at all true.
