subcommanderbeavis 0 Posted October 24, 2003 (edited) I am a fan of the Ferengi energy whip.Its not an elegant or a practical weapon,but it is unique in the Star Trek universe.I was a little bit upset when standardized energy pistols/blasters replaced the whips post-TNG.What do you think?I think the Ferengi should keep the whip in most instances,but carry a palm gun or something for situations when the whip is impractical.

Indy 8 Posted October 24, 2003 Yeah, those whips were kinda cool. Kinda reminded me of Indiana Jones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Captain Bolivar 0 Posted October 24, 2003 (edited) I feel that the whips were more elegant. It takes ability to weild a whip properly. Weapons which require ability to me are elegant. Not some gun or pistol that a 3 year old can shoot. I was thrilled to see the whips return in aquisistion. I'm stunned to see that it was a Season 1 ep. It does not seem that long ago that I saw it. Also, what I liked about that ep was that Balok from "The Corbomite Maneuvre"was one of the Ferengi's... he also had a part in a DS9 ep as a crazy guy inside San Fransico sanctuary district A sometime during the mid 21st century.

Son_worshiper 0 Posted October 24, 2003 I agree with Captain Bolivar.The energy whip is an elegant weapon that requires far more skill to use effectively than a blaster or disruptor.I love them.Great weapons,and unique so far as I know in sci-fi. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr_tinkles 0 Posted October 25, 2003 I thought the whips were kind of stupid,to be honest.But the Ferengi were just ridiculous when they first appeared.DS9 did much to redeem them as a species. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

B4_ 0 Posted November 5, 2003 To steal a line from my son's favorite Star Wars character: "An energy whip is no substitute for a good blaster at your side,kid." Well,Han would've put it that way had Luke been a Ferengi. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
