![]() ![]() I'm presuming people have plans online for a "make your own shuttle craft" that replicators can make piece by piece, tools included, chunk by chunk, in a food replicator. ![]() Is there a waiting list for a industrial replicator to make me one? Do I get a Warp One shuttle only? how do I get one in this wonderful economic future? so I can fly around Uranus and Alpha Centari for a year like a vagabon, painting asteroids. and I suddenly get it in my head I want my own shuttle craft. If I am on earth, living in Hicksville, no real special trait about me, I can paint, write poetry, dug a ditch once, but not too deep, cause it was hot and I pulled a muscle, cause I'm a federation citizen and manual labor is too hard for me. I recall he told Nog that when they started selling junk for a profit. Quark wouldn't tolerate a bar full of federation personal who only got their latinum originally from beating him, and only pay through further winnings. I doubt Quark allowed them to let them to hussle him and the customers without payment, and built up a large, ever growing latinum reserve from that miniscule beginning, everyone from the federation hussling Quark. really that much need to dip into federation reserves so they can get a professional tailor to sew, or gamble? Only remote excuse is DS9 lacked a public, free Holodeck. Why would the federation be blowing it's Latinum reserves on troop pay, if troops had no "real reason" to receive payment They have free medical, quarters, any food they want, clothing replicates for free (they know what size they are, evidence the uniform), and can make computers likely. soldiers being paid in precious metals (is it a metal?) on front line duty isn't exactly utopian economics, that's quite Roman actually. It's simple enough to say they received a stipen, but I can recall Captain Picard smiling saying the economics of the future worked differently. It has always struck me as odd that everyone stationed on DS9 from the Federation magically had Latinum, despite not obviously needing it, given the availability of replicators in quarters. How did starfleet personnel and civilians get Latinum, or currency of any kind for that matter? ![]()
