In Star Trek Generations, I understand the saucer section after crashing was heavily damaged (though largely still in one piece).
But given how advanced replicator technology is in Star Trek, why didn't they take the saucer section with them for repairs? They could easily just tractor beam the ship back into orbit and tow it back to dry dock.
I've seen them rebuild or repair entire chunks of Deep Space Nine. Like when an entire pylon was blown off in an explosion. Starfleet didn't even have access to Cardassian spare parts but somehow was able to rebuild the exact same pylon as it was before the explosion. The exterior looked the exact same. The interior looked the same. Same doors, panels, lighting, grungy dark interior, and even down to the same carpeting and interior design. All this from Federation replicators and no spare parts available from Cardassia.
I've seen the USS Voyager suffer so much ridiculous damage (entire sections of the hull getting ripped out) but get repaired the next episode. And they can manufacture entire warp cores from scratch. I can only conclude that an industrial replicator must be on board Voyager
With all that said, I don't understand why the saucer section was abandoned on the planet after crashing landing. Yes I know it was heavily damaged. The bridge looked awful. However thr saucer was still largely intact and in one piece. In fact, it was so sturdy that the people inside survived a crash landing largely with no problem. No one died and everyone could walk away for the most part.
It's not like the Saucer was ripped in half or anything. If a crew of a couple hundred to a few thousand were able to walk away then that implies the ship is still okay. Any damage that is sufficient to permenently knock out the ship would kill the crew (or some of the crew). You can't have everyone be okay but still say the ship is not salvageable. It looks mostly intact. Yes it's a mess, but I think it's within Starfleet ability to fix it with replicator technology. It's not like it's a drain on resources or anything. Probably not even a drop in the bucket compared to Starfleet total resources as an organization.
Even in real life, the United States was able to raise several sunken ships after the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. The USA raised them, repaired/rebuilt them, and put them back into service.
Throughout World War 2, there were several ships that the Japanese thought for sure they sunk for sure given the damage inflicted on

ST:TNG Ship in a Bottle. At the end, that yellow box/square thing where Moriarty and the Countess go on...I am Barcley put it in a shelf somewhere or did he take it when he left the Enterprise D? What happened to that yellow box/square thing?
The ship is still "on" but all hands are lost/dead on impact, with a shocking mixed crew of humans and various extraterrestrials.
The ship comes down just after 8am on a Tuesday. There is no, full stop no, possibility of a government cover up, as it comes in fast, decelerates, and executes an automated controlled crash, doing a ludicrously obvious flyby of the entire Great Lakes en route to a crash site 70 miles west of Chicago in farmland.
Neither the whales, nor the crew helping them survived. The Whales were tossed about like ice cubes in a martini shaker and the land based crew were drowned when the tanks broke and flooded the room.
The Rescue crew opened the doors and found what was described as "whale slurry" and the coroner got to see what it would look like if, hypothetically, a Human and a Tellarite's lungs were filled with a blend of 80% sea water and 15% whale flesh and blood. The last 5% was urine and feces.
On the plus side, the crew was able to use an old Klingon cook book to utilize the slurry into something resembling bloodwine. It kept the crew drunk, full, and happy until rescue came.
I forgot how ridiculous this game is lmao but it’s still so fun
