Do you recommend target decals for this game? If yes, what are the best ones to get?

Also, does the scoop come with a cliffy installed from the factory? I know MBr does.

^ thanks I’ll check those out

Can anyone let me know what protectors come installed from factory and what I should get before my game arrives? Thanks again

Thanks Good to know I’ll just add a cliffy to the shooter lane

One more question, what is the idea pitch for this game?

Another question... is there a way to add the mini saucer light show to the CE?

Any idea where I can get the Bally decal to go in the speaker panel of the CE? Can’t find this anywhere.

All I could find was this.... seems pricey just to yet a logo on there- would it even work/fit on a remake?

Hi guys more noobie questions in anticipation of my game arriving Thursday

Are there any recommended settings in terms of ball save/extra ball/features/etc to maximize the lastability of the game? Or do you just play it stock?

hi me, again.

Does the color chip upgrade for classic also enable green/blue in the main saucer?

is there a different upgrade for that? i saw a pinside market listing that said it had a "full" color upgrade that did.

edit: looking through the market archive im seeing a lot of CEs with color upgrade where you can see in the photos displaying colors other than red...

example: https://pinside.com/pinball/market/classifieds/archive/87517

video from listing:

yea on the side lighting, not the saucer- right?

more examples...

anyway, ill find out in a few days and will report back

Wouldn’t that just be to drive the pinstadium colors?

Ah, does that work with the remakes?

Boom, thanks. CGC needs to update their website

Anyone have a 3D translite they’d be willing to part with? Send me a pm

Just got my CE with a July 2020 build date.

The saucer has the 3 color interactive lights even without the color chip (yes I checked to make sure they hadn't accidentally given it to me).

So I've had my game for a few days now, here as some of my initial impressions

1. The outlanes are brutal in this game. I am just an average player, so I had to close them a little to take some of the frustration out of the game. Plays much better with them close a bit IMO (unless I truly suck).

2. I've heard everything say this is a high scoring game.... but to me it feels very low scoring. Yes you are in the "billions" but you are really only advancing the first digit by increments of 1-10 so it feels like you aren't really blowing up the score.

3. The right ramp is tough. It's the only shot in the game that I feel like I don't really have much control if it goes in or rattles out.

4. I know people say the game is less center toy dependent than MM for scoring, but I am still struggling to find big points in Multiball/super jackpot/TA- I am sure there are some stacking opportunities I am not aware and taking advantage of yet...

5. I can't stop playing this game. I'm pretty sure I've put 100+ games in over 3 days...

Question- what is your average score in this game? What is considered a decent/good/great score?

average score?

Not yet, trying to figure things out on my own. Sometimes when I watch a strategy videos it's hard for me to do anything other than the optimal strategy so it takes some of the fun out. Eventually I will, thanks

Ball started getting stuck in the saucer hole, need to open the glass and push the ball with a stick to get it to drop into the vuk kicker. I’m guessing it’s an easy fix but wanted to ask about it before I fiddle with it tomorrow. Thanks

Can anyone help me find the correct rubbers for this game? I want to replace the black rubbers with white ones, including the posts, and red flipper rubbers as well.. thank you

Thanks I’ll check that out

Any difference between the planetary pinball and coin taker mirror blades?

If anyone has the cool white gi LEDS please send me a pm

in theory, is this all you need to add the additional lights to the mini saucers in the se/ce or is there another controller board that is required?

Looks pale man. I could be wrong though, still an awesome game.

Edit: eh you might be good, right to tell with your lighting/white balance on that picture

A lightish orange. Some early playfields had a more pale almost skin color orange. Neither is what I would call dark so it’s hard to tell from you pictures because they aren’t great photos. Though I’m like 80% sure yours is good.

Where did you hear that?

Shout out to Mr_Tantrum for his amazing version of the Eat At Eddys mod. The build quality is top notch and the lighting is just awesome with its fire flickering effect and built in light for the sign. 10/10

I think planetary pinball sells the actual blades used on the LE. They look a little different to the cointaker ones I think. Not sure they will fit an SE/CE but I assume they will fit better.

Question about pinstadiums

Do They use alligator clips or is there an adapter/connector to plug in?

How are they attached to the cabinet? I want these to be fully reversible and don’t want sticky tape to leave marks or pull paint off the inside of the cabinet

Thanks !

Bumping this hoping someone can help, thanks

Got my custom painted saucers from back alley

Would you recommend the backboard illumination kit from Mezel? I don’t want it to flash or do anything other than light up with the GI. I saw a poster a while back had an issue with it Always reseting to flash mode.

This one?

Decided to keep it

Did they not come with screws?

Green mini saucer domes, wadaya think?

Wow just turned up the flipper strength back to default now that the game has settled in and it’s great. It’s not quite as fast as fresh out of the box so the ball isn’t flying off the center ramp anymore. Love it

Or I can just play it with default flipper strength lol. Like I said, out of the box the ball was flying off the ramp.

Added a couple of spotlights near the slings. I think they go well with the 50s theme (kind of look like atomic blasters). They really light up the martians with a moon like light that I think adds a lot to the space invasion vibe.

Congrats CE is awesome. Can’t beat the classic look IMO

Pretty sure there is a unique chip for each game. I’m sure flipnout will send you the correct one.

Yea I got them on macro, it said they were for stern but they are the same as the red ones

I ordered new mini saucers from planetary pinball because I got them painted

To remove them you just twist and pull them off (hold from the dome)

If you use your current saucers you have to remove some glue to separate the dome from the saucer

I didn’t glue the domes to my new saucers, doesn’t really need it

contact CGC support on their site they are quick to respond.
