Re: ? for the FT players or anyone with RW Naval Build Times

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.
