Maximum number of torpedos

[Captain Otto]

I always thought that while replicating a whole torpedo at once is not possible, since it is not possible to replicate antimatter, it would be quiet possible to replicate the components and then assemble the torpedo. Antimatter could be taken from the ships storage.
While this process is a viable possibility in an emergency situation, just like a ship being cut off from support for months to come, it seems not to be a energy efficient process. Also this would certainly drain the ship's antimatter storage very fast. First for the energy used in the replicating process and second if the torpedo is actually armed.
So it seems to be more effecive to store the missiles in advance.

It is also not just the antimatter. As I recall now, the warp sustainer also couldn't be replicated. It's made from Vertinium Cortenide, the same wierd scifi substace used to make the warp coils. I seem to remember this being listed as being unable to be replicated during the starship construction phase at the begining of the TNG technical manual..

Ok I'm geeking out.. I better stop

Hee.

Except, even if it's a problem with the same material as the warp coils not being replicatible, how could Voyager make 50 odd shuttles for Chakotay to crash? They'd have to have warp coils too, so the crew should have been able to rob the infinite shuttlebay for parts to make warp sustainers out of the extra warp coils.

Obviously, they've got enough fabrication to replace all the exploding panels every week and detail the hull to it's original factory shine, so that can't be it.

I know, I know, it's an old arguement, and ends up as--Ships travel at the speed of plot and they've got infinite resources available, unless the plot calls for them to run out.

It might be geek knowledge . . . but it is still . . . knowledge.
See the DARPA development of Transparent Aluminum.

What size tooling equipment would be needed to create the components out of the above stated process? How much square meterage would such a facility would need on ship?

Maybe the size of the ship, and type determs whether they have such an advance mobile production ability, even if not regularly.

I mean a Sovereign or Galaxy, maybe even a Nebula, I can see being able to have the spare internal space to have the facilities to do so . . . as they are designed for multiyear operational ability away from direct access to the Starfleet supply network. . .
