[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Reverend: [qb] Well in that case the volume of equipment would dictate how many buildings you have and these things are a little big to fill with smaller articles and not quite big enough for industrial sized equipment, vehicles or machinery. Plus you're restricted by the size of the door as to what you can move in and out of this thing, so big equipment is defiantly out, unless you propose they disassemble the module, extract the gear then reassemble? Not very practical. Plus of course half the point of these things is that the walls are interchangeable, so by pre-assembling, you immediately limit what you can do with them. I think most things come down in standard cargo carriers and those containers are converted into storage sheds for equipment, food, raw materials or even livestock. You can never have too many unused metal boxes, so any excess is hardly a problem. [/qb][/QUOTE]Well, with interchangable walls (the hull of the containers) you can still do your modular buildings. Really, looking back, we're looking at this from a non-trek POV: replicators can easily dis-assemble and rebuild to suit whatever is needed. All the interior volume of the container might be filled with raw materials for the replicators- even the Standardized cargo cotainers might be broken down to make the buildings themselves- leaving no waste or empty packaging. I dont know as Trek needs any livestock- non-meat eaters and all that, or reprocessed portien eaters which can be soy (or whatever plant they use) based. All needed plants and imported microorganisims can be stored in stasis or grown from seedlings quickly with trek tech. Heck, in some instances, imported cargo might be minimalized to replicators, people and something orbital for weather, comms and sensors- a colony ship might just be a large transport for people and personal effects and probably some tech not easily replicated like shuttles and exotic (or non-native to the planet) metals.
