/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags.
Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

Two off the top of my head.
TNG "Data's Day": we see Data and Worf in a replimat while Worf picks out a wedding gift for Miles and Keiko. A family in the background picks out a new stuffed toy for the kid.
ENT "Dead Stop": the mysterious repair station has large arms with industrial replicators that fabricate and install entire ship pieces at once.

They were mentioned in DS9 a few times.
Dammit, Eddington. We know that's you spilling these secrets!
What are you up to, Javert?
Didn't Prodigy show one in a cargo bay making a shuttlecraft? My memory is a bit hazy.
I never got around to watching prodigy. I'll look into this
It did! in a kinda cool replicator fight scene
Prodigy shows that the Startship Protostar has a replicator on the ship itself that they use to replicate shuttles.
The star yards where they build starships are the biggest replicators they have ever shown. Unless you count that one planet with an automated system selling weapons of war as a planet sized replicator.
There was that one in Enterprise that tries to capture Mayweather to be part of its computer.

i bet a lot of furniture is designed to be modular too/different designs for "DIY" (absolutely just my headcannon)
It's not canon, but in the novel Metamorphosis, crewman visit Data's cabin to install a bed.
I recall he ordered it from the replicator center. I imagine they had large replicators for furnature, then beamed it to his quarters.
Why not just use the transporter pads?
Throughout the show, we see the replicators both materialize and dematerialize things. Janeway gets her coffee, it comes in a mug, when she's done drinking, she puts the mug back in the replicator and says "Computer, recycle."
So why couldn't you use the transporter to do that for larger objects?
Does it also render cargo bays pointless? Can any material just be dematerialized, the data stored and then replicated later?
