Here is my new video with the new Stern Star Trek pinball. Thank you Steve Ritchie and Stern Team for the update! Is it GREAT!

I don't think so... The SlingShot LEDs still don't seem to operate in the three or so games I played. It didn't look like the asteroid lites either.

Good work, thanks

Nice game bud

Wow, that is an impressive list of fixes and features!
My number 1 fix was already in 1.51:
2. Fix - Nero II bug where shots were not re-lighting properly.
Now I may be able to complete all level II missions!

Also glad to see that the Warp optos un-wanted contact closure could be resolved by software...

I wonder why though, they did't release some intermediate versio
ns along the way... my biggest frustration was already resolved in 1.51 October 2014!

anyway.. cant wait to play it this weekend

after a test is a homerun.
kobayashi pays well now.
Level 3 top vengeance.
x2 + combo scoring well considered.
succeeded in reaching amok, already much more understandable, just the finite level 1 blue, after stdm
249 million for a small amok but many medals.
score of 875 million at the end of Level 2.

great job team stern

I believe this code update sent the game to a new level,has a whole different vibe to it,just a whole lot of work went into this update,

More than I expected and Darn glad I stayed the corse

Trade Your pro in for an LE and You might give it top 5 rating. Code is great and light show is freakin' amazing!!!

On my LE I've caught the side rail lights flashing a lot more:

-Photon torpedoes
-Ball locks

Flashes go off in the backbox and astroids now a lot. The light show overall on the LE is very intense.

I saw mine go off, but it's not as obvious as you'd expect. I'm thinking of replacing with brighter red flashers.

Yes my Star Trek pro also drops flippers mid way through a game. We played 10 games tonight and 2 games dropped the power on the flippers. I think I was on Space jump 2 and just after multi ball finished the 1 ball on the playfield was still going around when all of a sudden all the flippers stopped. The ball eventually rolled down and went into the trough and registered. I believe this is a bug as im the second person to report this issue.Version 1.5 did not have this issue and only after I loaded in 1.6 on the second game the flippers died during a game.

Just played one game with the new code -- pretty good score for the new code

Wow. Ok, I have not been a fan of the game all. But I'll admit it. After seeing this video, I'm going to give it another try. It looks like there are massive changes since the last time I played it.

I really liked the game before the patch. I think this just became a "must have".

I watched all 18 minutes of your game. Nice shootin.

lol.... I'm perfectly happy with my refinery addition pro!

Sorry guys but I cant find the info. Does the Premium have the color changing apron lights?

Got home from Devils game last night, installed update, I didn't get bed till 2:30.

This game is now epic.

All summer, I was sick to my stomach for how much the LE cost…but WOW!!!! Now it was totally worth it.

Awesome! Thanks for the update Stern! I am working from home today. Must resist urge to play ST....must resist.....

58. Tweaked - Tier III missions all keep your progress if you drain or timeout. You will pick up where you left off with each of them.

This is a good one to prevent starting PD3 over and over without finishing it.

Yes

Toby: One thing you're going to want to look out for is carpal tunnel syndrome, so it's recommended that you take a ten minute break from typing every hour. For your circulation, um, you're gonna wanna get up out of your chairs and move around about ten minutes every hour.
Michael Scott: Yes. Good. Fine. Like stretching.
Toby: Um, yeah. Your computer screen can be a big strain on your eyes, so it's also recommanded that you step away for about 10 minutes every hour.
Michael Scott: Wow. That time really adds up. Like a half an hour every hour?
Darryl: Take them at the same time!

Ignore Darryl and do the Michael Scott approach to safety.

check your opto connectors. It sounds weird that it happened right after the update but in this case, I believe the coils were beefed up a tad in the programming so it makes sense that the coils firing harder absolutely have in impact on that connector especially if it was on the borderline off to begin with.

You know this cant be said enough. I know for a fact Dwight was up days and nights working on this code and even on weekends. He and the whole ST team involved did a tremendous job on this update and its showing!

Glad to hear the new code is out. Have to wait until Friday to play. Are there any glitches?

Have they fixed the repetition of, when battling Khan, the "Khan, your nothing but a mass murderer."

Yeah, dude. I've talked so much shit on Star Trek (because the old code was boring), but watching the update at PAPA finals makes me really, really excited to check it out in person.

Do you know if those guys were getting paid for their work?

I have no idea. Everyone talks about how lyman works afterhours to get his code done, does he get paid? I presume they're paid on a fixed salary - incentive bonuses maybe?? there should after seeing this update

Safety is #1. A break was in order and played a few games with 1.6. Man, the medal awards sure get your attention. I love the start of KM where your medals get cashed in. I didn't make it too deep into the modes but noticed some lv2 modes look different. So far I like all the updates. Gameplay feels more involved and satisfying - especially for the lv1 modes. Might need a few more breaks later today - for safety of course.

I say we all pitch-in to pay him to write some Cannon Code for ACDC!

I don't have my acdc anymore

The music the same with this new code or is it different with using the movie soundtrack instead?

Havent had the opportunity to update yet, but like what I am hearing and reading. We rode Stern pretty hard so its great to see they did so much work on this update, so thanks Stern for not letting this game sit as it was. Credit where credit is due. If SKB likes it, then thats a great sign. He had a lot constructive ideas and helped push the agenda.

It's like playing a whole new game.

IMO, this is now Stern's best game.

Of course, someone with the name "Trekkie1978" may be a bit biased ...

Lol, I just emailed the local OP asking if the code will be updated and if he can move it out of a local dive bar. I find it hard enough playing pinball without the fear of being stabbed.

ST seems like a weird theme to have at a dive bar.

I know. The previous games were WOZ and TAF. We have absolutly no place to go in Cedar Rapids to play. We have 6-7 locations with just 1 pin. BUT SOON, we have a new barcade opening up and already has 6 pins in stock. Opening in May.

Had it happen on my LE

Lucky you!

Code level is 1.6 ... So I'm going with 1.6 years ...

Had this happen on my Pro...third game after code install. Never had it happen before on old code

Great video

I'll mention this one more time. the coils are firing slightly harder on the new code. So while the connectors were on the fringe of coming loose - the update just helped push them off the edge. Reseat your connectors and all should be good.

It sounds like the payoff for the medals is getting to the wizard modes. Does this mean there is less of an incentive to go 3 deep now?

I would think going three deep would help obtain more medals. I would go for it, anyway.

But.....do level II and III medals count towards a level 1 based KM wizard mode?

And if they do, can they be re-used for EA or 5 year mission?

going 3 deep also awards the 2X multiplier. Trying doing SJ3|Nero3 then start double scoring and galactic lanes (PD1) and see what your final PD1 score will be

and also what Aurich said; if you can get a set of gold medals before kobayashi...cha ching!
