Do you think Industrial Replicators are used for creating Starships? i mean where is all that Ore comming from if natural?
- Not replicating entire starships no, but shipyards will have several if not dozens of industrial replicators for producing large components and parts needed in large quantities such as hull plating. It is said (though non-canon) the Enterprise-E shuttlecraft (first seen in Insurrection) was designed to be constructed aboard ship using industrial replicators. Ore?
