What a way to wake up on a rainy Saturday morning!!! yeeeehaaaaaaa!!!!!!!

Final shot on Nero1 on the pro doesn't seem to be identified.

And the greatest improvement of them all. The "irradiated" call out has gone. Yay!

Permanent shot doubler on vertical three in a row is the shiznit!!! 20mill shot now available for end of VMB??

This galactic shot is the game changer. If you activate it, then finish the mode, you miss it. So level one modes play completely differently now.

Holy crap. Just went into a KMB on 42mil and galactic ramps going and came out the other side with 98mil. There is real leverage in the tier one modes now. Massive.

Or you're in Nero1.

Galactic award ***SPOILER ALERT****

Nero - Galactic Red matter
Prime Dir - G Lanes
KB - G Ramps
DtD - G Spinner
Sp J - G Vengeance
StE - G Warp ramp.

Sometimes the callouts don't go off, but some underlying awards flash. Vengeance flashes at the insert, as does the warp ramp, and the main ramps don't seem to. Red matter definitely does flash, as do the toplanes. Spinner doesnt flash. But it is the same for each mode each time. They also all reset the clock for longer time and just keep paying as you hit them. Vengeance only seems to pay one hit. Ramp combo logic carries over with the first combo doubling, then 10k increases.

Edit. Main ramps flash at the insert. And they alternate when you hit them.

Yeah, nothing in tier 2.

Its actually turning all tier 1 modes into big fat hurry ups.

o yeah. Adrenaline from the get go. Awesome. It's a two-event hurry up. You have to activate it first, then hit that away team shot. That's a lot to do straight out of the gate. And zero grace period. Plus use it or lose it. Absolute game changer at the tier 1 level.

Hit three mission shots, then the AT will light. Shoot the AT then..

It all ends after the extended time out period.

Although at my skill level, that risk reward trade off is a bit of a luxury. It's all I can do just to get it!!

On the pro, its just another insert blink, so it doesn't stand out. And I only ever get spinner/lanes/ramp callouts. Well, Vengeance sometimes, but never red matter or warp ramp. The lanes and red matter do stand out on the play field as they never flash together like that otherwise.

Man, this is amazing when it happens (once for me so far and maybe never again, lol). 56mil from KMB. Spicey meatball!!

Yep. You do get extra time for actual scoring though.

Yes. The normal mode clock resets.

No, you're ok. That's when it resets. If you had a 30 second mode that got down to 2 seconds left, and you successfully hit the AT shot, the clock would reset to 30 seconds for you to do a bit of scoring on the galactic award you have just activated with that shot. Those numbers might not be exact, it's difficult to look at the DMD while doing this, lol, but that's the idea.

If the only thing we got was the speech pack there would be pitchforks.

I will agree that they are mostly pretty good. He asked me if I was drunk today. hilarious. but 3 or 4 of them just came out woeful. "Jim, are..you...al..right?", "They're getting closer"..I think everyone knows the offenders by now.

+1. Do it with the shield inserts.

On the pro, relevant inserts are flashing, all others are out.

G lanes is toplanes. On the pro they all flash together at a medium pace.
G Ramps is left and right Ramps. The inserts flash Red and alternate as you hit them. Other inserts are out.
G Red matter is the red matter inserts all flashing together at a medium pace.
G Warp ramp the warp insert flashes green. Other inserts are out.
G vengeance, the vengeance insert flashes yellow. Other inserts are out.
G Spinner, both the left eject and left orbit flash aqua. Other inserts are out.

And on each mode the galactic event is the same each time, so before long you won't have to hear the callout anyway.

3 mission shots lights AT. Shoot AT and you have started the galactic mode that is attached to the mode you are in.

Shot doublers ***SPOILER ALERT*** for those who haven't got there yet.

Nailed the 20mil vengeance shot with double play field going and combo to finish vengeanceMB. So sweet. Put up many hours on this beauty today and it is just getting better.

I think there are big points available early if you get a shot doubler going and then go back into a tier1 mode with a galactic award based on that doubler. So much fun. My humble congrats to the team for pulling this off. Not that they care what I think. But now, finally now I believe moving out SM for ST was the right decision.

And all this new stuff is even before you take your tier1 results through to later rounds for the big payoff. There are going to be some huge scores posted by the good players soon. (Not me, lol).

Anyway, doublers are linked to modes, not like Spidey where you double what you hit first.

DtD - WR

Sadly for me, I was hoping the vengeance would be one of the doubled shots and was going to go for that 40mil shot. Doesn't look like I can do that now.

Well that, sir, just ain't fair. And I reckon could be classed as a bug. Maybe. It's so inconsistent with the philosophy of this machine being all about combos.

I've just put in another full night on this baby. 1:30 am and have to go to bed, but don't want to step away from it. Trying to work out the risk reward of trying to get one or two shots doubled, then take them into a captains chair 3 in a row. So, two vertical then a horizontal. Really milk this tier 1 for points. I'm scoring >100m most games and not getting finished level 1. I haven't yelled and screamed at a machine like this in a long time. Trouble is its difficult to get a vertical done and still be on ball 1. Man this is so awesome. Seriously, it's like i've been on the rowing machine. Fantastic machine and quickly making some of the old favs look a bit slow. hmmm.

I got it last night and think part of it was warp ramp then right ramp, but not sure what was before that. It was definitely a rare move as I caught it on the right flipper out of the warp then a very quick backhand for the combo. Don't think that would come up in general play that often.

Nice score

I've tried exploring this idea the last couple of days, and I'm beginning to think that trying to get any shots doubled first from verticals and then bring them through the horizontal groups is not worth the risk. So many big points are available as you build up the mission level by level if you just concentrate on the horizontal, and you get the mini wizards along the way. You should really be able to get 100m+ out of level 1 (I just got a 19m DtD), and then everything will be multiplying from there. I would be interested if anyone can/has pulled out a massive score by starting with verticals.

True, but I wonder even when they do work properly, there is going to have to be a massive uptick in points available. I don't think anyone would seriously try to get more than two doublers through to the final rounds..six modes to get two shots doubled?? Good luck still being on a low ball by the time that's done. But I guess if the points can flow thick and fast once you're there you may only need a few minutes to clean up. Still awesome just trying to find out. I haven't turned on another machine in days.
