1- You can design it to focus 75% of its fire in any one direction and 100% forward and rear- you can' flank it or cross it's T

2- You can hide the vitals in the widest part of the vessel so that the ships spaces act like baffles and the cone lends it self to thrust gravity becuase you can stack the decks so that the narrowest part of the cone is up for the crew.

3- You can roll the hull to rotate in fresh armor/hull and weapons towards the enemies bearing.
The only weakness in the Star Destroyer, is that its Bridge, communication hub and delicate instruments stick out of the ship like a sore thumb.. A better design would have had these more snug to the ship.
