Well about a week ago (to two weeks ago+), I found a bug involved with the Ferrengi. I don't know if this causes a grudge or not, but if you would like to avoid the Ferrengi, just attack with zero (0) fighters and it will exit to the normal screen. (NOTE: This is when the Ferrengi are asking you to surrender.) I love this bug, but there has been an absence of the Ferrengi Assault Traders in the game. If you want to use this bug, don't do anything to alert the Ferrengi message again like checking your ship information, re-displaying the sector, etc. "/" doesn't interrupt this. No you're not a dead Hooman.
