did you (or someone) beam people on the ship? that can do it sometimes.

Is that wrong when ferengies freeze? I would be very happy if I could save my ships from them :)

I've had this happen to me before. As far as I can tell, what happens is that the game can't allocate an AI to the Ferengi ship properly so it goes out to the derelict vessel, sits there looking at it, and wonders what to do about the situation. There's nothing I've tried that fixes it-- strangely, the game just sort of decides when it wants this to happen, and when it doesn't. I'd check to make sure your "odf\ships\zferscav.odf" file hasn't been changed, just in case it's simply that the Ferengi ship no longer has a tractor beam or the hardpoint on one model is different than the other, or even that the classlabel is allocated properly.

:cool:

Well...the ferengi does fire his tractor beam....then sit and doin nothin....while tractoring the derelict vessel......when one of my ship come and tractor or beam the derelict vessel then the ferengi moves off.......I'll look at the odf then....what's the AI name for these scavenger??? I couldn't find one???

Generally I'd take the opportunity for some target practice on a Ferengi Marauder. I've had issues with Ferengi cargo ships just sitting dead in space after the enemy trading station they were servicing was destroyed. And it's only been recently that I've had that problem in the past they always mosied off screen or went to another trading station. now they are behaving like they are enemy trading ships... Like I said I generally jsut shrug and blow them apart to satisfy my A2 bloodlust, but I wonder if it isn't a problem that could be rectified without the application of high yield explosives...
