an you demonstrate the existence of "industrial replicators"?
In one of the TNG or DS9 episodes i saw they were replicating gifts, so i presume that they have the ability to make industrial replicators, oh yeah.. if they didn't.. how the he*l would they get on without money?
Care to name this mysterious episode? Care to describe exactly what they were replicating? Gifts? Like birthday present kind of gift? What are you talking about? Could you possibly be more vague? I usually don't poke newbies but I'm making an exception in your case.
poke, poke, poke.

Even if they have industrial replicators, so what? An industrial replicator would be heavy-duty, but that doesn't necessarily mean it can make anything, or an object of any size.

Using industrial replicators, replicate vast quantities of weapons-grade nuclear materials. Design large nukes in the high GT or even into the TT range.
These would be several hundred tons apiece and the size of a house, however a GCS with everything stripped out of the saucer (including interior walls and decks) might be able to carry a significant number of them.
You then need large industrial transporters.
Uhunh. Uhunh. VAST quantities of weapons-grade nuclear materials... VAST enough to give the Empire a bloody nose???? Here, I give you some clues:

Rather than firing these nukes at the enemy ship like torpedoes, they are instead beamed to their target posistion right against the shields of the enemy ship, and immediately detonate. If Section 31 has any captured Dominion transporters (3LY range) lying around, they might want to pull those out and use them for long range attack.
Of course this premise has a number of possible pitfalls - it depends on Federation replicators having the ability to produce weapons-grade materials that will function properly in a nuke. (They might be able to do that, but then again they might not.) It also depends on the transporters being able to "fire" the nukes to target without being jammed by enemy ECM. But I just thought I'd throw in the idea and see what's made of it.
Yet another ideal scenario for Trek Side... assuming the enemy will COMFORTABLY LET IT HAPPEN!!! ROFTLMAO!!!!
No, it was TNG, and it was for Troi's mothers wedding.. and i think worf got her some types of glasses or w/e.. anyway.. as promised. *sends a fleet of ISD's to Darth Servo and take him hostage, Interrigating him relentlessly* anyone else care to try?
