Hey, this is odd. In the ships editor there's a place to assign the ferrengi ship an ANSI file for description and specs! Odd thing is there's no where I can find within the game to call up the specs on the ferrengi ships. They aren't listed in the ship's catalogue from the computer menu, they aren't listed in the library at stardock, and they aren't listed at the shipyards.

I know these ansi's and descriptions exist I've looked at them in the ANSI directory for the game, but for the life of me I can't figure out how to see them within the game.

These ships are active and available in the game, so that wasn't the problem.

Anyone know?

it has been quite a Darn long time since i have been in the library, but i thought that is where they would be (i think i may have seen them before, but that might have been just the descriptions) its been probably 12 years or so since ive been in there. just go in there and hit every button till what you want happens heh. if it doesnt work, throw your keyboard out the window and go buy a new one.

I was under the impression it would be under the Ferrengi race preferred ships, but it's not there.

The only place that I have ever seen these is through the ship editor! Gold Version

The only place to see alien specs is the Gold Edtion TEDIT, or if the maker of the game attaches a spec sheet.

I plan on putting some crucial specs in my data sheet for the aliens, as if form the Fed saying what they have noted.

Here they are pulled from TEDIT I did a reverse tradewars game using Ferrengi ships and kept the originals as stock and modified the Scorpion, I pulled the Scorpion's specs from another edit that was standard.:

Ship Category #1 Ship Class : Assault Trader

This craft has been identified as the Ferrengi's primary scouting vessel.
It does carry sufficient firepower to pose a threat to some of the smaller
Federation-design warcraft though. The Ferrengi seem to excel in developing
drive systems and the Assault Trader makes this readily apparent in its high
speed and agility. One craft by it's self can be handled, but be warned that
they prefer to travel in convoys.

Ship Category #18 Ship Class : Battle Cruiser

One of these warships was recently sighted off the Antarian Nebulae. This
craft was unknown to the Federation until a hapless materials transport warping
from the StarDock to a Federation Outpost was set upon by a pair of these. The
crew managed to return the above info before contact was lost with them. From
the debris left in the area, it would appear that these ships pack a powerful
punch. No escape pod made if off the 'Sport to provide further details.

Ship Category #19 Ship Class : Dreadnought

The U.S.S. Constellation was destroyed recently when it was engaged by this
new class of Ferrengi vessel. The craft dropped out of a cloaked mode and
attacked the Constellation before they even had a chance to raise their shields
or return fire. All commissioned StarShip Captains have been notified that the
appearance of one of these weapons of Destruction is a Priority Red demand for
assistance. Civilians with appropriate defenses have also been asked to aid in
the defense against these powerful ships.

Ship Category #20 Ship Class : Scorpion

The Ferrengi Scorpion is a new class of ship recently sighted near the
outpost of Rylos. Although only one is known to exist, this extremely
dangerous ship appears resistant to almost all Federation technology. All
commissioned Captains and civilians are advised not to engage these craft until
further research has been completed.
