To start, as a first time poster, I'd like to say thanks for this wonderful concoction you've created in blue planet!
Anyway... I'm wondering if I were to step through a vishnan manipulated universe gate and arrive in the BP universe 300 years in the future (which could obviously happen at any time!), and started in this new reality by landing a job in taco mart at the local spacedock... what would I see?
Are ships built in a modular system, with individual sectioned warped in from various suppliers and bolted together? Or are they 3D Printed out as complete units? Is it labor intensive or would I be serving tacos to robots?
Being a few hundred years in the future with nearly unlimited energy available offers a while heap of different methods, and being an engineer by trade I need to be prepared!
