I know some stuff can't be replicated, but that's just a cheap plot device. If a human brain could be replicated, then anything can.
I'm not saying the rules make sense, I'm just telling you what they are.

Not to mention no starship can operate with a crew of one.

Oh and transporters only make sense if you have a remote or something to transport back to it-- and if it has safeties/ sensors enough that you don't beam into the mountain instead of on top of it

It would be cool if it had a range sufficient to reach say the moon. I'd go up there and plant Canadian flags all over the place

Sir, I am a gentleman. I'd never do that to a woman just for rejecting me.
Kick her to the curb, sure.(\__/) Save a bunny, eat more Smurf!

But really, you're going to use a spaceship to pick up hot chicks and take them on long rides, pick up multiple in case some are dissapointing.APOSTOLNIK BEANIE BERET BICORNE BIRETTA BOATER BONNET BOWLER CAP CAPOTAIN CHADOR COIF CORONET CROWN DO-RAG FEDORA FEZ GALERO HAIRNET HAT HEADSCARF HELMET HENNIN HIJAB HOOD KABUTO KERCHIEF KOLPIK KUFI MITRE MORTARBOARD PERUKE PICKELHAUBE SKULLCAP SOMBRERO SHTREIMEL STAHLHELM STETSON TIARA TOQUE TOUPEE TRICORN TRILBY TURBAN VISOR WIG YARMULKE ZUCCHETTO

you guys are insane!! Bringing a bunch of women with you on a starship. It would drive you up a wall. I don't know how polygamists do it. They'd be nagging you to take out the trash, even though you can't venture out into space. Or they'd say the outside of the ship needs painting, as it isn't attractive if someone else sees it.
You don't see Kirk bringing chicks on cruises do you? As my father always said "**** em' and leave em'" It probably wasn't the best advice he gave me, but he wasn't much of a father .
makes you wonder how many Kirk babies Kirk left behind on alien planets.
... Which makes a great idea for the new trek series/movies
*runs to push this idea before you guys steal my idea*

Well the question is mostly do you have a steady supply off-world? I can't garuntee an abundance of beautiful female aliens as seen in Star Trek.

Transporter and replicator work on the same principle: they assemble particles into a given shape (pattern).
In the case of the transporter, the particles are de-assembled, sent to a 'buffer' location through air/space and re-assembled on target place.
What is important is that it is the original particles that are reassembled. Every cell, every molecule, every atom, every quark is back at its exact position in the pattern. You are fully you again.
In the case of the replicator, new particles are assembled in a given pattern, stored in the replicator's memory, but the particles your new cake may come from anything.
It is also possible to slightly alter the pattern of the person being transported. In one episode, Beverly is infected, on board, by an unknown virus that makes her age very fast. She is 80 in only a few hours.
The virus comes from a planet where experiments are made.
She is sent to the planet to help the researchers find where it exactly comes from.
When they discover it, they understand there is no short term solution and all of them are going to die.
The crew gets Beverly back, young and healthy, through the transporter thanks to a 'young and healthy' DNA sample of her (from a hair found in her bathroom) and a decaying pattern of her when she used the transporter at the very beginning of the episode. With this DNA sample, they are able to restore the pattern. Old and sick Beverly is reassembled into a young and healthy one.The books that the world calls immoral are the books that show the world its own shame. Oscar Wilde.
