[QUOTE]Originally posted by Treknophyle: [QB] Oh, and regarding Industrial Fabricators - the size of the finished product (in mass and dimensions) would be only one limiting factor in how a few of them could radically improve a planet's economy. More important would be the templated patterns already loaded into the systems memory. Such things as medicines, vehicles (or parts/engines for same), power systems (components for mid-sized fusion generators which could then be relocated across the planet and assembled to power communities), communications systems, medical equipment (biobeds). Size-wize, I'd think a materialization 'stage' about 4 meters cubed would be sufficient - with a mass capacity of about 3 tons. Some stored components might be sized on the order of a 20th century minivan - and that is the largest easily relocated component size - fits into a cargo ship. [/QB][/QUOTE]
