They're those little devices that they pull out to scan the area around them and detect plot-advancing details.

Wouldn't they all have the serial numbe of the original?
Replicating gold sounds good - but it trading in gold is illegal in many places (and it certainly would draw attention).
Has to be transporter for me. The crime potential is enormous.

Hmph. I still opt for the Holo Deck.
Yes, but you would only have a ship with warp capability. You wouldn't have the communications, tactical, sensors, and other systems that would help you. I understand that warp capability is great, but it's kind of useless when you don't have any way of really colonizing a planet, let along contacting earth while being hundreds of light years away.Originally posted by Straybow
Fools! Of course the only real choice is a warp-capable ship. The ability to go, now, to nearby planets and solar systems

Cloaking device.
Funny that most people would use the devices for criminal activity.
And I would use it in combination with MummyMan's/Mojo's cheating threads.

well, I now see that I should change my vote from Data (since his memory banks are wiped) to a warp capable starship. This sounds a lot like NX-01 at the begining of the series: no phasers, no photons, no holodeck, a computer that is little more than a database.
Of course, I could see NCC-1701 fitting the bill, only ship mounted phasers, no photons, no holodeck, but i guess that it had too good of a replicator.
Still, travelling around at warp 7 vs. warp 5 would be better, and so would having shields to stop Klingon disruputers

Wouldn't need any of it. We're busy developing all sorts of remote sensing tech already. We don't need instant communications when we can travel to nearby star systems in a matter of days. We can come back with data and make important mission decisions for the next sortie.
There's much to discover in our own neighborhood, far away from Klingons and Romulans.
Why hasn't anyone said Data?
I presume Data comes with all the knowledge he has accumulated. He could build all the other things in short order. Even if he looses his memory he would be the best bet for advancing knowledge. Simply train him on our state of the art and set him up in a lab with the mission of advancing knowledge ASAP.
My second choice would be a warp ship. If we could actually get to another solar system then our chances of survival would greatly increase and people would be forced to start thinking beyond their own narrow self-interest.
My third choice would be a transporter. That would revolutionize society.
The holodeck I don't get at all - all you get out of that is what you program - not exactly new frontiers.

The holodeck by far.
