In TNG S1:4 Picard says of his first on screen encounter with them: "it will be Starfleet's first look at a life form which, discounting rumour, we know almost nothing about." - how could he have known that the unknown ship used sublight sensors and then made the maneuver based on that information - seems like it was just a spur of the moment tactic that happened to work because of that in hindsight

May 3, 2014 at 4:04	comment	added	Boann		@Lèsemajesté The third image is image of the ship arriving. The front of this image would possibly be missing since light emitted from the front of the ship would have been overtaken and reabsorbed by the hull as it continued moving, but some outline would have remained. It would be moving backwards because the image nearer to the Ferengi would arrive before the image when it was further away.
May 3, 2014 at 3:21	comment	added	Lèse majesté		Why would there be a third image "moving away backwards"? Also, if the Ferengi really didn't have any FTL sensors, then they'd effectively be blind whenever travelling FTL. Not only would it be impossible for them to see behind them, but they'd collide with anything in front of them long before their sensors could pick up the object.
