Due to the hefty cost of energy, mass replicator is often overlooked as it is simpler to gather the resources using a miner instead without the risk of draining all of your [[battlecruiser]]'s energy. However, in Game's which players may be having trouble finding specific resources, a replicator may help, and become an efficient tool through the use of Powerdocking, where it becomes highly effective, as energy can be regenerated quite quickly. A replicator should never be used in a combat situation, during combat preparations, or immediately after an engagement, as the heavy energy taxation greatly reduces the effective use of engines and shielding, in some cases, use of a replicator in battle conditions by an inexperienced or unaware player can, and most often will, cost that player's team the game.

The mass replicator is a late game console unlocked after Tier 3 economy has been researched from the upgrades console. The mass replicator uses energy from your Battlecruisers' main energy capacitor to artificially create any type of mineral. Each mineral type costs a different amount of energy to replicate. The mass replicator spawns near the construction console on the lower deck.

The Mass replicator is very situation and thus not often used.
The console should not be used when energy is critical, this includes preparing, during or after a battle between Battlecruisers.
An advanced play is to use the replicator with a power dock to regenerate the used energy quickly.
