[QUOTE]Originally posted by Reverend: [QB] [QUOTE]Anything would be a job for Earth's crippled infrastructure, but like the 1930's WPA it might've been just a boost we needed.[/QUOTE]Good point. I imagine that during the war itself there would have been a world wide scramble to churn out as many spacecraft as possible and that after the war's end a fairly reasonable percentage of those fabrication facilities would have been left standing. Some might even have become home to communities just like the Phoenix's missile base, I imagine they would have been fairly well protected against nuclear attack, not to mention looters and nuclear winters. Just to clarify, the 'Warp Leftovers' I referred to earlier were just the vital engine parts that might have been very difficult to mass produce on short notice, (Warp coils, antimatter containment pods, dilithium crystals, M/AM reaction chambers etc.) not the ships themselves. While I'd like to think that the Conestoga was a retrofitted water tanker, the fact that it was said to be specifically [i]designed[/i] to be disassembled into a colony (however unlikely that may be) leads me to think that it was a pre-existing piece of hardware, possibly meant for the Martian colonisation programs. In which case all Earth needed to do would be to install the warp drive (newly built or assembled, either way...) and associated systems. [/QB][/QUOTE]
