Ok, I'd known that the concept of space-building not needing structures
was
there, but I was avoiding even going there. Sort of like the next step
some
would have: just dump a couple of buckets of the right varieties of
nanites
on the right rock, and come back shortly to pick up your fleet, fully
automated.

Baja aside, of course.

Sort of devalues the ships, not to mention the folks in them.

Yes, you can build ships without the structures. Yes, modularity means
you
build a small piece, attach it, and it's flawlessly integrated. Will it
necessarily the best way to do it? I'm not so sure. But that's a flavor
thing as much as any.
