    Where's the dilithium crystals?
    I don't know why he saved my life. Maybe in those last moments he loved life more than he ever had before. Not just his life - anybody's life, my life. All he'd wanted were the same answers the rest of us want. Where did I come from? Where am I going? How long have I got? All I could do was sit there and watch him die.

            Like there is any way a sane person would choose anything but FTL travel?

            And yes, anyone who wants weapons is probably not sane enough to be trusted with them. What would a sane person do with them? You can't pull a one-man The Day The Earth Stood Still gig, even with 100 photon torpedos. Phasor? What, you wanna rob a bank or something?

            Transporter without a ship to go somewhere interesting? No thanks, the dividends are too limited. Again, some sociopath might want one to do unscrupulous things. If the technology could be understood and copied, this world would quickly become a terroristic nightmare, even moreso than with phasers as they are at least limited to line-of-sight.

            If we assume the technology is too advanced to be reverse engineered then we're stuck with a one-off item. Can't share it widely, and some government or criminal organization will probably whack you to obtain it for themselves. At least with a warp ship you can take it with you and leave the a*holes behind.

                The replicator because even it can't make future items it can certainly make current time period items of a certain size. Replicated gold, jewelry, and expensive items should set me up just fine.

                    easy. holodeck. easily the most overpowered star trek item evar.

                    and isn't a holodeck just an upgraded replicator?

                      No. A holodeck is just force fields manipulating light.

                        Another vote for holodeck.
                        I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).

                          For my personal enjoyment a holodeck obviously.

                          For my personal success, a replicator.

                          For everyone elses advancement, a really sweet computer (what scale are we talking, like a planetary grid or a ship size one?)

                          As for FTL travel being obvious, I disagree. We can't reverse engineer and the thing doesn't come with anything else, what are you going to do with one FLT ship? Take pictures of nebulea? No, you'll just get blown up by the first cloud monster you run across because you don't have weapons or shields.

                            I pick Data, because he's quite likely to know how to build some of those other objects
