Shuttlebay Size

[SIR SIG]

Yeah but critical parts in torps and shuttles just can't be replicated, or shouldn't be
Maybe Voyager is actually a spare parts transport in disguise

complex componets cannot be replicated, but if you replicate the simple component and put them together to make a complex one. You cant replicate a warp engine, but you can the parts and build it piece by piece. sigh, poor little ensign, do you think they chain him to the replicator

I think the main problem with replicating Quantum/Photon Torpedos is replicating antimatter what isnt possible. Otherwise Starships would have endless power source and there wouldnt be need for Bussard Collectors.
So you can replicate a photon torpedo without warhead whats pretty useless...

[SIR SIG]

Can they actually replicate all elements?
I still think you would chew many work/man hours

It is possible to replicate the components. The anti matter is taken from the anti matter pods. They use very little actual anti matter. I think they use something like plasma as a medium.

That would be a way...
But doing this would result in trading range for armament. And constructing a Matter/Antimatter warhead on a starship is a dangerous thing... (My players should not roll a fatal miss or it may become true word by word :P )

[SIR SIG]

That would be very degrading and somewhat beneath his station for an Ensign.
Perhaps an Ensign in charge of 4 crewman?

As for shuttle bay size that remains to be seen until you see what class your working with.
Even the smaller ships should have atleast 2-3 shuttles(pods) ala. Defiant
Size:1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10
shuttles(pods):0,1,3,6,10,15,21,28,36,45

Seems a good average for fed vessels!

Actually, antimatter, perhaps cannot be replicated but it can be *made*. by use of the quantum charge reversal device. It is terribly inefficent and generally used for emergencies, but it can be done.

[SIR SIG]

I would think that at a torp manufacturing plant that would just siphon off antimatter from a permanent warp engine for power.
