It still gets me that the Ferengi were mostly unknown to the Federation, yet by the time of DS9 they’re almost a widely known cornerstone of economics in the Alpha Quadrant.

Ferengi move pretty fast. Faster than light if in the right kind of ship.

As I remember they had some phaser whips as weapons.
I forgot that detail lol. Let’s take energy weapon technology that can shoot in a perfectly straight line…and artificially limit its range and utility.
It might be a similar line of though as the Goa’uld weaponry from SG-1. They aren’t meant for accuracy or range. They use weapons of terror that create an absolute massacre when they do by chance hit.
The Ferengi, and especially of that particular group were Ferengi pirates of some sort, probably wouldn’t be above such tactics.
But also it was very clearly not a well thought out episode, so I’m absolutely applying meaning where there is none.
If one Ferengi whip is a bad idea Ivan Vanko doubles it.
He also looks a bit like a grumpy Ferengi on bad hair day.
I wish their neat energy whip came back though.
It did in Lower Decks. Yet another reason to love that show.
Whips were all the rage, see Indiana Jones.
Hell of a twist if that was revealed after all the initial interactions. The ultimate grift to put the Federation off guard.
We don’t talk about it with outsiders
It’s all in the writing, I guess. It’d be a kind of bungling, stumbling, weird encounter, random, campy, never know what they’re going to do, villian.
*There were a decent villian in “Peak Performance” (the strategema episode). You just need that off species to be a counter.
