    Oberoth... why are there large human form replicators?

    I don't know if it's been asked before... but I was just wondering. I guess the bad guy in charge has to stand out in some way. They didn't use the 'evil mustache' but went with a [mod snip] instead?

      I wondered that myself. If they can create themselves, why don't we have a seas of Brad Pitts, or Joe Flanigans? Unless they're not vain like us humans, and just copied faces/images from an Ancient database??

        Because they emulate Ancients who were not perfect.

          A whole race of Brad Pitts...

          Why does this conversation remind me in some way of that scene in John Malkovich when John Malkovich goes into John Malkovich?

                  Wouldn't excess weight on an Asuran be an impractical use of nanites?

                    Not unless he could use the extra ones to repair minimal structural damage to a ship.

                    I think the person who said they're emulating the Ancients is probably right.

                      So, it would be safe to ascertain that they have taken the forms of ancients in a database. ^^

                          replicators are believers in equal opportunity body type emulation and distribution

                            Actually, on this note... if they are taking forms of actual Ancients in a database, do they take anything more than just how they look? How about personalities or memories? Like someone else mentioned that Oberoth is like Merlin + fat... but would there possibly be an Asuran Merlin running around too? That wouldn't be good!

                              I doubt the physical appearance of a human body affects a replicator in the slightest...
