I believe the shape and the rotation are related to the ships "Stealth" capabilities. incoming radar would strike it and bounce off in random directions, not returning to the original radar unit, therefore, no signal

Shape can be deceiving, but the rotation is likely tied to 3D SLAM, which is basically what's described on the product page.
Guessing that rotational speed is high enough to support the necessary resolution and real-time telemetry to be effective, but not high enough to cause negative gyroscopic effects (seems to be about 3-4 RPS).
Here's an article which may provide some additional context, etc.

Being all pointy and shit makes the ship faster too.You're both right.
If you'll notice there are no square corners or leading edges when the ship is viewed from the front. That is to break up the radar signal of other ships and not give a good return. It was also be covered with absorbent material.
And yes it turns really fast to give a quicker update to the 3D image output.
