Hello everyone,

A quick question on hull shape. I understand that the best shape for the pressure hull will be a sphere or a round tube with braces and with domed end caps. How much strength is lost with an oval tube? Imagine pushing down on a cardboard tube a bit. Flatten it out lengthwise just a little. It would have bracing inside as well. Any advice on this?
