Essence of theAdaptive Cruiser

You become the captain of an Adaptive Cruiser of the Hostile Waters: Antaeus Rising setting. You have all the requisite skills, experience, and knowledge that a captain of such a vessel might need and can lead just as well as the captain of the Adaptive Cruiser 00.

The Adaptive Cruiser is a warship of great power, possessing heavy artillery, advanced cold fusion power, Artificial Intelligence, and can circumnavigate the globe in only a few days on its lonesome.

The most valuable part of the cruiser is its Creation Engine which is a device that contains trillions of nanite assemblers which can assemble and disassemble objects the size of military vehicles in seconds. Nearly anything can be made with the nanites provided the requisite material and energy, clothing and food out of trash and dirt, a jet out of a destroyed tank and rubble, and further still.

Paired with the production ability is its ability to make use of Soul Catcher chips or small chips that record the personality and skills of a dead person to give access to a limitless number of the same veteran personnel even if they are killed over and over. You can also make use of Soul Catcher if you are killed but you will be simply reconstituted from the chip with a clone of your original body made around it.

Optionally you can choose to use another naval warship as the hull of the Adaptive Cruiser with the same levels of technology as the cruiser, just in case if you wanted an Adaptive Tillman Battleship or Nimitz Supercarrier.
