[QUOTE]Originally posted by MinutiaeMan: [QB] This idea of a "replicator starship" made me think of the current theory about self-replicating machines. (A theory by Van [Somebody]. I forget the name. Van Geldar? ;) ) Where you use one replicator to set up the process, and it produces more machines that can continue the process. For instance, if a replicator starship can fabricate an industrial replicator to ship down to the planet, then that would make things a whole lot easier for a fledgling colony. Or, as C-3PO put it, "Machines making machines... how perverse!" ;) I also thought about some of those really huge fleet tenders that the US Navy operates -- ships that can almost function as a floating dockyard for field repairs, as I understand it. Hey, I just had an idea... if Starfleet used one of these replicator ship ideas, combined with the traveling dockyard, they might be able to field-repair some of the seriously-damaged starships during the war, for instance the USS Fredrickson in "A Time to Stand" or other ships with major structural damage. Just no one bring up the USS Voyager, okay?! ;) [/QB][/QUOTE]
