The real reason for the cardassian changes.

When you rescue Ferak.
They fly off in a Nandi, point forwards not point backwards like player ones. The exhaust comes from the crescent not from above the windows.

Another mission with the ferengi flying a Nandi, also flies point forwards with the exhaust coming form the center of the crescent.​​

    First, that was a D'Kora, not a Nandi and second that episode was from the 2800 FE arc, which is not part of the revamped Cardassian set.

    3rd - You're nuts if you think they re-did an entire story arc just to avoid fixing a ship model.

    Fixing the ship (If it were even broken, which it isn't) would have been far less work then re-vamping an entire story arc just to cover the mistake.

    Insert witty signature line here.

    A ship model is wrong and they change the whole damn arc? Do you throw out your computer because of some dust on the keyboard?

    As someone else in the thread pointed out, you are confused about the ship you are observing.
    It's not a Ferengi Nandi, but a D'Kora, and it is indeed pointing the direction it should be.
    And the episodes that feature Farek are part of the "Return of the 2800" arc, which takes place after the Cardassian arc.

    Seriously, what are you talking about willis..​​
    This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.

    The Nandi is a space Trilobite instead of the usual space twig and berries. The devs said so.

    Currently, I don't think there are any NPC Nandi's in-game.

    At the very least, I know that all NPC Ferengi captains you encounter are still in the basic D'Kora's.

    Though, it would be neat if that STF where you defend Ferenginar against Undine invasion has new Nandi NPC's in it instead of just D'Koras. Haven't had it drop me in Ferenginar lately, though.

    You mock the OP now, but when all the Cardassian ships fly backwards with their pointy bit in the back, you'll see to what length Cryptic will go to hide their errors!

    Seems to me that threads are making less and less sense.
    Don't look silly... Don't call it the "Z-Store/Zen Store"...
    Let me put the rumors to rest: it's definitely still the C-Store (Cryptic Store) It just takes ZEN.

    Just as ship models in this game. I am not going to say something about the OP and I fly the Nandi, which is a very good ship as it performs, but I am all the time wondering, does look like a space ship? Does it? Really?

    It seems I am not the only one that is puzzled.

    Well it looks more like a spaceship, than the breen ones do... People seem perfectly willing to accept those.

    don't know, must have been a ferengi thing. I got killed just after that... and then killed... and then killed. Then I remembered you move better if you turn the engines on.

    Real spaceships look like this:

    apollo-command-and-service-module.jpg


    That pretty much means the only "real" looking space ship in Star Trek would be the Cochrane's Phoenix.

    Star Trek has its own rules at what a space ship requires... And the 0th rule is probably the rule of cool.

    Though as much as I can enjoy asymmetric designs, it seems to me that it is unlikely there would ever be a good reason to build a ship like that. But it still looks cool.​​

    Those aren't technically spaceships, but rather inter-planetary transports.
