  Maybe my sentence structure wasn’t real goodlike. I meant Lightning is the worst of his three games. Star Gazer rocks! Gonna build myself another one eventually. I have all the parts, just also have a hundred other projects going currently. Lightning stinks with original code. New code is fantastic imo.

  Once I can pull up and charge in about 5 minutes, and go 500 miles. Maybe then an EV makes sense. "Powered by GM’s Ultium platform (scalable up to 200 kWh), the Silverado EV provides up to 754 hp and 785 lb-ft of torque. Chevy claims the electric pickup has up to 10,000 pounds of max towing power. GM claims the Silverado EV will have up to 450 miles of range, surpassing the Lightning (320 miles)." https://electrek.co/2023/09/25/chevy-silverado-ev-impresses-towing-vs-gas-ford-f-150-video/ Close 'nuff? 8)

  Prob something like a CGC game - CC MM MB AFM would work. Not too hard, not too fast, just right with some smiles chuckles along the way. Sterns? I would lean more DMD like POTC SM LOTR over newer. The newer Sterns are exciting with their speed, lightning and sounds and lean more difficult rules. I wouldn’t describe them as Chill.

  A couple things you can do to fix a warped playfield. 1) Switch your OEM pine wood rails for oak. 2) If not already installed, add playfield stiffeners to the bottom of the playfield. Mantis Pinball sells them. Warped playfields do suck. Actually, mine has those metal stiffeners on the underside. Presumed it was standard on lightning, but had never seen them before. Good to know that's an option to add to other games though. Honestly doesn't seem like a bad idea, maybe overkill, but no harm.

  Made it to Final Battle last night! Won't spoil anything, but the animations are next f'n level. Great update! Also, FooBot being 3-ball instead of 6-ball is key. Also agree that cool ideas like this could further level up the game. I’d like to see each city get a 2nd version (like Deadpool modes the 2nd time around). That might be wishful thinking. Need a reason to pay attention to lightning mode for example. Keep up the great work JD (and team)!

The LE with ceramic power and pop ups really is unique and it plays like no other game. Trying to time the pop ups and keep up adds a whole other dimension. The speed is mind boggling and compared to TZ it is lightning quick with open playfield and wide ramps. Monster fast speed and flow-I really like my LE.

  Anyone have a specific brand recommendation for a mix-it-yourself clear you've successfully used under the rattlecan 2k? I'm about to do a lightning with a god-awful mess of inserts, figure it'll work better to mix something for leveling all the cupped stuff, but plan to rattlecan over it. Just want a known quantity that won't do anything weird when hit with the spraymax.

  Star Trek pro versus Dialed in Post #7 in topic

  Posted 8 months ago by pinmister – in Buying and selling advice ‐ Last reply 8 months ago

  Dialed In has an amazing layout but the theme killed it for me. I could not make a connection and it got stale quick. Star Trek is ok-feel like you kinda need to love the new movie/franchise. I personally would rather go STTNG. The cannons are awesome and it has basically same layout. The callouts and animations are also better-battling asteroid video mode gets really stale. The one thing I do like on my ST is the lightning quick warp ramp shots. Warp 1-Warp 2 Warp 3

  I actually find that most spinner roll-backs will have the ball just kiss the west side of the spinner bracket or something, and divert the ball over towards the right side of the machine. The shot that scares me the most is when the ball rattles up the van ramp & stalls right near the top and rolls back thru the flipper gap with lightning speed.
