I suspect there are many different "Advanced" Alien species. I wouldn't be surprised if there is an organic based species much like the "Wraith" depicted in Stargate Atlantis.
So it would be difficult to speculate on construction methods in such a broad way. Some species probably use production lines.
Others may use a large box/area where matter can be precisely generated and controlled for the purposes of manufacturing.
Possibilities ^.^edit on 12-3-2013 by Mandrakerealmz because: (no reason given)
see the singularity on the horizon, with nano tech.

ie: "The Alien Interview" (fictional work...but as such...makes you think and attempts to explain a lot. Free online in PDF format)
PS Us even TRYING to figure it out with our pea-brains compared to them...is like ants trying to build a nuclear reactor..

S&F. Fascinating new tech. that is only limited by imagination!
Definitely something to look forward to.
@ Violater ... thx for the vids.

We have become very good at reverse engineering.
The hull is made out of Aluminium Oxynitride Ceramic.
We figured it all out back around 1980. Now it's 2013. How far do you think we have come?

Otherwise known to Starfleet engineers as "Transparent Aluminium", right?

Maybe they arent even manufactured nor are they "machines"...just becasue thats all we can think of.
Maybe its thought processes. Maybe they are projections...not manufactured "hard" items at all.
Think about that...still, you can only see things with Earthly intellegence in 2013...because that all we know.
What if they are parallel to year 4981?
