Whose to say they are all new, even Starfleet has a mix of old and new. Plus, it can also take advantage of damaged or disabled sensors.

Nah, give it to the Stargazer.

  It is called the "Picard menuever." Picard is on the Enterprise, not the Stargazer.

i think it was developed when picard was on the stargazer

I think the ship it's actually used on is irrelevant, as any ship has the ability. The trick is not crashing into something during in in-system jump.

Picard Manuver developed by Jean-Luc Picard  while the captain of  the Stargazer (2333-2355)  The manuver was first used in  2355 At the Battle of Maxia. aginst a Unkown at the time foe ,Later to  identafied as a Ferengi raider. the Ferengi ship was only using light speed sensors . The  manuver  is this  you pick a point in space  Jump to warp then drop to a Dead stop . The optical sensors sees  the ship at  two  places  in essance  you have a  mirror image of the ship for a few seconds. confusing  the  targeting  sensors  of the opposing ship.Doing so  gives the  ship performing the manuver a chance to return fire

What if any ship could use the Picard menuever, but only on the Ferengi. It would be cool to have one of your ships stop the Ferengi from stealing a ship using the Picard menuever.

... pointless just blow the fuck out of them, no point haveing a weapon to use on a ship that hardly shows up in game...

can the npc ferengi be destroyed

Yeah: just select fire upon them (manual button pushing...)... however they can't be borded unfortunately

Any chance that NPC Ferengi  ship could be made to be bordable?   In Stock Armada 2 I was able once to  Board  a Feringi ship .But alas the crew kept dying off. On one of the other A2 sites  there was a mod to give you a whole race of Ferengi  tech and ships. any chance  for the Ferengi making a playable race in Pr4  or later?

Nice  Idea!  Maybe, if they made the Ferengi a playable race, they should just make them nuetrals. When you play the Ferengi, you should just steal ships and make alliances. (assuming they reintroduce alliances to FLOPS!)

From what I remember  some of their ships were  pretty nasty as  special ability the one ship that would litterally strip you ship  of Metal and Dilithium. another had transporters that  could transport through sheilds (Good for removing cargo from a another  ship. I'll have to try to find it again.
