Had an argument with someone regarding the capabilities of the Snowden & its repair facilities. In the fluff, a Newgrange's repair facilities were capable of building all the components of a warship & thus were capable of building an entire warship given enough time & resources. With that as a baseline, I postulated that a Snowden & its repair facilities should be capable of similarly building any vessel that can fit in its repair capacity, assuming the technicians had the required technical expertise. The other party disagreed.
So my question is, can the repair facilities of the Snowden or for that matter, any design with repair bays/facilities, build any vessel that can fit in them?
Please note that I'm not saying that said repair facilities are as good as a dedicated shipyard or yardship, but that it had at least the ability to do so given enough time & money.
