[QUOTE]Originally posted by Pensive's Wetness: [QB] [QUOTE]1. High-efficiency replicators - this basically means that, with a low enough energy requirement, you could replicate starships or space stations or similar structures such as the Sovereign-class in a matter of hours instead of years in a drydock. What would be the most immediate result of this? Cheaper, more widespread access to more advanced craft and technology by civilians throughout the galaxy. Space would fill up rapidly. Yet, there is a more significant result I can foresee, taking into account the human desire to do things bigger and better. Why just take hours to replicate an existing ship (saving years in construction time) when you can use the same technology to build a ship 100 times its size and complexity taking the same time to replicate as the 1/100th size ship did to manufacture the old way. Talk about an intimidation factor against foes like the Borg, Species 8472, the Romulans, and the Dominion. [/QUOTE]Does that include the replicated crew you need for those big ships? [/QB][/QUOTE]
