I think it's been a while since this was talked about on the forums, but has anyone in game yet been able to purchase cryo gernades from the ferengi in the Defera system? I have not heard of anyone actually buying any & none of my fleet members have been able to purchase any.
The Dev's have said that the ferengi is not bugged & working as intended, but it sems that it is not working at all, unless there is a specific requirment needed to get him to sell them to you, in which case the Dev's should finally after all this time at least give a hint. I have tried both selling & buying from the Ferengi, & have visited him multiple times.
I am aware of repeating Cold Call & have done so numeous times. I was asking specifically about the Ferengi himself. Just because there is another option doesn't mean it should be ignored that he doesn't appear to be functoning correctly.

The Ferengi give his species a bad name. I too gave up on him long ago.

Actually, if anything, it seems he's fulfilling the tennants of his people rather nicely.
But yeah, it's still pretty friggin' impossible to buy the grenades offa him.
Seriously, no one else is questiong why this isn't working still. One peice of stiching out of place on one of the TV/Movie uniforms & there is a virtual riot on the forums. Here a in game function is not functioning like the devs said & no one cares?
It either needs to be fixed or the devs need to admit that he was never programed to sell cryo gernades. How long has it been now since the breen series, enogh time has passed that this should have been resolved already.
Its all about picking ones battles. The cryo grenade is, at best, a slightly overpowered fluff piece that was never meant to be used all the time.
And there is already, however annoying, a mechanic in the game to restock if needed.
So while this feature not working is....irksome. I just cant get anymore worked up about it then that. There are far more irksome things out there that id rather see the powers that be focus on first.

Though I have never purchased cryo grenades from him, my understanding is that the Ferengi trader in the Deferi system offers them on a very strict timetable. There is a formula to the timing of his sales, this works on a regular rotation, and the cryo grenades are available during a very narrow window.
I was completely out of Cryo gernades when I tried. The point of this isn't about aquiring cryo gernades. I know i can do Cold Call again & it's an easy mission. This is a matter of principle.
The Dev's, when asked have always been vague & cryptic (no pun intended) with there answers. "he sells them as he gets them" is not useful information. If there is some "formula" for figuring it how to buy them I don't think anyone's figured it out. After all this time If no one has they should at the very least give a non vague hint.
I actually think that the ferengi was never meant to sell them & the dev's just flat out lied to all of us to buy time till episode replay comes out & hope the matter is ignored much like everyone seems to be doing.
As i said i feel this is a matter of principle. if he does sell them, then they need to give more specific information. If they lied, then they should just admit the truth.

Players have figured out the formula for these sales. I've seen previous threads on it here, on the forums, especially in the wake of the Deferi feature episode series. Hopefully, one of those players will chime in on this thread.
And personally, while we're on this subject, I have to say that I appreciate the fact that not every answer is handed to us by the developers. There are sometimes puzzles in this game, both in mission content and in the set timing of various events, and those puzzles present a challenge to the players that can be overcome by either dedicated effort or connecting to the community. This is an element of the game that I very much appreciate and, honestly, I'd like to see more often.
