i am talking about the Ferengi standing up to the Klingons and others in combat...the only problem with that is the Ferengi were cowards.....Exactly. The klingons would still be a hunter gatherer species and the Ferengi would be Jewish pawnshop owners.you don't get the technological advancement from race turned into mindless automatons...
Actually, the Ferengi woul likely be the most powerful race in that show.......their competitive nature would have given them the advantage over the federation, the romulans and the klingons, they would have had the best military and the best technology..
You are right about the Klingons.....they wouldn't have had the ability to develop their tech base because of their culture......
And that is what is wrong with the characterisation of the Ferengi......venture capitalists, the sort the Ferengi are, are not cowards, and, in fact, they are real risk takers in any society.......
