I have only had it bounce off the habitrail once. It has also caught mild airballs from hard shots off the Quantum robot. Those balls tend to spin unpredictably, and if they catch the wireform they instead go safely to left flipper. They may occasionally cause a drain. But they also might save one. Much like the trolls of MM, which I think actually save more drains than they cause when they're in play.

This. It's one of those variable things that make real pinball worth seeking out to play. If DI ever got digitized into Pinball Arcade, unless they revamped the physics engine, this would never happen because there is never sidespin. Everything rebounds off everything rolling straight ahead to its destination.

The habitrail over the center PF looks great as is. More wires might help keep a ball on it 100 percent of the time, but would clutter up the visuals to fix an occasional oddity. There is so much better to see on this board than a jungle of wireform. It's the same two-wire rail that leads to the whirlpool in CFTBL, and it's fine on that table because by the time it gets there, it's rolled along a long ramp and any sidespin has straightened out. The ball can have sidespin by the time coming straight off a flipper into the right ramp in DI, especially if anything altered its course there. Just be prepared.
