Not to mention those moments when to keep up with your competitors, you need to cooperate with an expert from elsewhere in designing and making something. If that thing is something you want to keep from the extranet… then you’ll have to have a mobile meeting point where you can work on your own designs to save time, whilst you make your way to that individual. You’ll need raw materials to make working prototypes, and thus you’ll be lugging that around as well (yes you could take a small and faster personal craft to get there sooner, but then you can’t work on practical designs with raw materials to test your preliminary theories prior to the meeting can you?).

Voila! Even in an era where almost everything is transmitted as a 3d printer recipe, you’ll still need large space freightors/factory-lab ships for those innovators and entrepreneurs that want to cooperate with experts in other systems.
