It needs a another major release to be "finished"..... and then after a long drought......a Lyman 2.0 polish.

Needs more depth to the combat code with the Vengeance. The Vengeance should be be able to virtually fire back at you, like the player does with the Punch It button. The shield targets would be integrated into that conflict.
Quoted from The_Dude_Abides:When is the last time a Stern release has been finished before all models shipped or within a month of being released? No not finished strong start but still a ways to go we don't even have a ball save when shield targets are hit yet.
It already has this when you hit the ship in multiball the kickback rockets the ball back fast as hell.
Re-read my suggestion. I said VIRTUALLY shoot at you.....like the players attack using the Punch It button. 
That makes combat the same both way...with balls and virtual/photon/phaser attacks. Here, the shields and the shield targets could come into play with creative code.
Quoted from luvthatapex2:Virtually shoot at you ... like a video mode? Its been a long time since we had a video mode in a recent Stern. I'd like it, though I know some would hate it.
It's like how you can hit the Punch It button now when you have weapons charged, you cause damage to the Vengeance. Shouldn't the same be in reverse? Shooting the ball out super fast is very cool, but it's not something that is going to interact with your shield level.
Quoted from Eskaybee:What if they put Kahn on the DMD and he would talk during the mode. Then say, I've had enough...fire! If you survive his attack he could say something like 'impressive'. He can continue to taunt but when you fire your cannons the DMD animation could kind of shake with the vengeance ship and he would stagger a bit on the animation to show you hit him and he could say something else. Til one of you are defeated.
Yes, they really need to add Khan to a Vengeance mode. You can't just have Admiral Robocop.
Quoted from Eskaybee:Here's a little FYI message to the Star Trek supporters out there:
"Please be patient, it's all going to happen."
Have a nice day. back to work i go
Even my patented ideas?

Quoted from Bond_Gadget_007:<<yepper this title be fantastic when complete>>
If it gets completed, it will be due to Steve Ritchie's games having the best chance because he actually fights for good code work from his team. Other designers have a track record of "design a whitewood and walk away" (I'm looking at you, Borg). Those days should be long over.
Tron was a Borg game....and got a massive update long after everyone thought it would.
