      My impression was, that they somehow ignored Rom’s character development he had in DS9, he became the Grand Nagus because of his ways of doing things.

      In the LD episode he really only did silly stuff, while his wife handled the more serious stuff with the captain.

      Or i remember his development on DS9 much deeper than it really was.

      I think it might be time for a rewatch of the series.

        You should definitely rewatch that episode, he’s playing dumb to test the Captain’s ability to swindle and swindler.

        My interpretation of Rom’s portrayal was that he was playing up the simple earnestness of the character, as a ploy to lull Admiral Vassery into accepting the terms of deal as part of a test to see if the Federation had the lobes to be viable allies to the Ferengi Alliance.
