Captain Holland 0 Posted October 20, 2003 I was just wondering what your thoughts are about the Ferengi starships. I think they are a worthy opponent to any Federation ship. What do you think? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yellow_Dragon 0 Posted October 20, 2003 We weren't fortunate enough to see many of them in battle conditions.But,when they did threaten the Enterprise-D,they seemed quite capable of holding their own against the Federation flagship. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NordicBearskin 0 Posted October 20, 2003 Yep, a Ferengi Marauder is almost as powerfull as a Galaxy class starship. And I agree we didn't see enough of them. Given their strength and numbers I can't see why they weren't involved in some of the conflict seen in DS9. For profit of course. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A l t e r E g o 9 Posted October 22, 2003 It's too bad we never got to see those Grappling Pincers disassembling a ship in a salvage :blink: operation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unless the Dominion directly threatened Ferengi commerce,there was no reason for Grand Nagus Zek to commit Ferengi forces to war.It would not have been profitable,afterall.Also,in the aftermath of the war,while the warring powers were weakened from the conflict,the Ferengi Alliance would retain much of its power and influence,increasing its stature in the quadrant and at negotiations tables.

Son_worshiper 0 Posted October 24, 2003 From what I've seen,the Ferengi are not very keen on military confrontation.They either surprise their opponents or covertly act against them from a distance.There have been very few instances of Ferengi directly challenging another species. The Ferengi Marauder is a powerful and fast starship,though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
