that was something I never quite understood in star trek.
Like. with Voyager building the Delta Flyer.
What kind of incompetent, useless, dumbass engineers would have technology like replicators*, but then design spaceships that don't use that to build their own spare parts... or entire shuttles, etc. While we're at it... why design an exploration starship, whose primary power system wasn't built around fuels that could be easily replicated (and use transporters to suck in, iunno, astreroids, and then use that energy to produce said easily replicated fuel.)
*Replicators really should be called fabricators. replicators replicate themselves, like in SG:1. fabricators ... fabricate other things...
