Jay doesn't think that's off-topic. Whether they have a good reason for being of that shape determines how much Jay likes them! If they're just that way for no reason at all, Jay thinks the shape's horrible. If they're that way so as to tesselate, Jay thinks that's forking awesome! A dodecahedron might be better for that, though, since it tesselates and has a better volume:area ratio. For any space vessel that encounters combat, Jay would want the best use of space for the exposed area that needs be protected. If they are to link up without wasting space, Jay would choose dodecahedra over any other shape or combination because it doesn't require different shapes in a particular ratio.
