I'd create a transporter. I see this as a 2 for 1 deal. The transporter must contain all of the technology required to make a replicator, so I figure it could be reconfigured to act as a replicator when needed. Yes, I am sure I could do that!

The warp drive would be cool and all, but for it to be of any use I'd have to build a whole spaceship to use it with. I just don't have the time to build a whole spaceship.

Hard light holograms could be fun and useful, but the way I see it, someone needs to program holo-scenes before the real action begins. Major headache waiting to happen.

Shields... I just don't have any use for right now. Oh yes, they'd be fun for a practical joke every now and then. You know, raise shields over the toilet seat. But how many times is THAT fun?

Transporter it is.
Asker's Rating:
• Very inventive.
I really hadn't thought of shields for practical jokes. Thanks!

The hologram. There are so many places and scenario's I can see it being used.
With people that are afraid to leave the house and people like that. It would be a resource saving manner in which to go on vacations and it would allow you to test your ability to leave the house if you had problems like that.
