I'm doing something a little unorthodox and quasi-roleplaying a Ferengi character that hasn't engaged (or will ever engage) in any combat whatsoever. Leveling him is somewhat tedious, but I enjoy the challenge. This means I'm limited in my choice of regular content missions, doff assignments, foundry missions, etc.
I'm looking for non-combat (zero combat or choice to completely avoid combat) foundry missions that involve Ferengi and/or trading. Although I'd prefer ones that qualify for standard foundry rewards, so that they may be coupled with "Investigate Officer Reports", I'd also settle for ones that don't qualify to enhance my rp immersion. I've already used the foundry custom search, but it appears that most missions still have combat even with the criteria to "exclude combat". Anyone know of any such foundries? Thanks in advance.
I haven't found any in my searchings and I must confess that I have looked for low-key "just doing stuff" missions involving the Ferengi. Its great room for fun story telling (see. Quark and Odo) but it seems that the first impulse in most foundry authors is to create an extra dramatic multi-episode plot and TRIBBLE the subtle use of setting and characters to fill gametime. :P
The best I can say for you OP is that there is is a diplomatic non-combat mission that fits the bill at Starbase 39 (NPC contact I think is on far side of station by exchange area). Its not much but it'll help.

Ah yes...I remember the mission, "Trade Deal". I forgot about that one. Thank you so much for refreshing my memory. Speaking of which, that reminds me of a Ferengi-centric diplomacy mission chain that used to be on Memory Alpha. Those would have been perfect, but unfortunately, with the crafting revamp and removal of Memory Alpha, it appears that the missions were also completely removed instead of moved to a new location; opening up Ferenginar ground with them would have been nice.
There is also the Nequencia system patrol that can be found at the Nequencia system in the H'atoria sector of the beta quadrant.
If I'm not mistaken this one should reward romulan marks and some dilithium ore.
I forgot about that one too. I stopped doing that mission on my other characters since I was concentrating more on combat for spec XP for them. I'll have to add that one to my run while doing a doff assignment circuit. Thank you. Very helpful!
