Star Trek Discovery... on the ropes?
Quoted from Zitt:Star Trek Discovery... on the ropes?
I saw this a couple of weeks ago. I really hope this isn't the case. I also hope the leaked aliens weren't Klingons. If they start messing with the timeline like that they're really going to piss off their constituent fan base.
Quoted from Da-Shaker:We're can you find the orange sling shot rubbers for ST Pro. Are they Super Bands. I can't find them anywhere.
Get them from Titan. They look great.
Sorry if this has been answered before
But who does the Klingon voice in Stern ST? Is it a modified Steve Richie voice?
Also can someone explain Kobayshi Maru scoring? Not medals, but actual shots during the code. First shot is always lower, and 2nd shot is a lot higher. How does this relate to the scores you got in the mode? It always seems to be a round number like 12 million or so. But my mode scores are never an even number.

For KM scoring, it has to do with how well you did on the way to KM, then work combos.
The best tutorial on this is from Bowen Kerins on Youtube

I think that may be old, though, and not apply to the new scoring system with medal awards. I do think the better you do, the higher the award in KM, but I'm not sure there is a direct correlation to your score in the mode.
Just got my ST Pro today, so now I'm part of the club!!!! No set up yet since Im sending some parts out for powder coating. Figured while thats out I will install the Cliffys protectors, which include the ramps as well and a shaker motor.
I do have a question in regards to replacement rubber. I noticed that some of the pieces, particularly around the ramps and vengeance shot appear to be silicone/shiny as opposed to rubber as found on other areas of the machine. The reason I bring it up is the kits Titan sells show those items as a quantity of 18, but all the same. Attached photos for reference. Does it matter? One style appears thicker.
Thanks
the rubbers at those ramps typically shred after 100 plays. The last owner replace the shredded rubber with either superbands or titan.
Quoted from Zitt:the rubbers at those ramps typically shred after 100 plays. The last owner replace the shredded rubber with either superbands or titan.
My STPro had those shiny rubbers around the ramps and vengeance out of the box. They are odd, I have never seen them before on Stern machines. They have a flat bottom and rounded top and seem to be a lot harder in composition than the other rubbers. Almost like they were made specifically for this machine. Looking on all the websites, I have not seen those for sale as aftermarket, and the manual does not note them as being different, but they were definitely factory for me. I have not read through every page of this thread, so maybe it has been discussed before.
They look exactly urethane rubbers... or silicon. My Superbands which I bought to replace the shredded rubbers are the same shape and glossy. I'd bet that Stern sourced them for later builds.
All the post rubbers are the same size. I replaced all mine with clear super band minis. Like zitt said, the ones around the warp ramp take a beating and regular rubbers don't last too long even in a home environment.
Star Trek Pro question. Is there anything I can do to make the left scoop kickout to the flipper instead of hitting the top of the sling almost every time?

First, is your game level? what is the power setting on that coil? I'm pretty sure you can adjust its power to shoot out harder or softer.
Quoted from Xrated:So I would be ok to replace them all with Titan rubbers?
Thank you for all your help and info
Those are now stock for high impact areas, Stern used superbands. Even though I replaced my rubbers with Titan I left those superbands in place.

I could be wrong but I believe SR asked specifically to have superbands added to the game from factory, in fact I'm sure it was a pinballnews article I'll see if I can find it.
"I don't recommend the use of post sleeves on the mini posts in place of the rubber donuts. Sleeves have too little rebound for my tastes, and they don't belong on ST. "Says who?" Says The King! You can use sleeves, but I will laugh and jeer like the Black Knight when I see your game.
There are some great new urethane post, mini post and flipper rubbers (Super Bands) available from Marco that are super durable and provide great rebound. They are manufactured by C.U.E. led by Joe Scalleta, and come in a full range of colors and styles. I wish I knew about them and not sure they were even available before ST production; I would have specified them on all models. They show no wear at all after hundreds of fun plays in my testing."
Steve Ritchie - PinballNews Star Trek Review.
I guess Stern did in fact add them when ST was maybe at the beginning of production or mid way through.

I just had a perfect Nero 3 but got a silver medal... hit all my shots on left ramp with both arrows lit in succession and only got a silver. Not the first time that's happened. Is it a bug?
Quoted from CryHavoc:Star Trek Pro question. Is there anything I can do to make the left scoop kickout to the flipper instead of hitting the top of the sling almost every time?
Sure, you can adjust the power of the coil in the settings. I backed mine off but still end up with drains from it sometimes - very frustrating.
Mine hardly ever ejects to the flipper. I've adjusted it many times. It works best for me on high or the ball just bounced off the sling shot. When I have time, I was going to check and see if the eject hole is damaged or cracked. I thought I read a forum mentioning a fix, because something broke.
I'm having a weird issue on stern star trek pro where the flipper buttons will sometimes register the bottom center opto target. This makes the drop go up and down in game and give you free shots to the vengeance in vegence modes... no idea what could cause this. I swapped out the opto board and doesn't fix it.

Mine had the same problem. I needed to replace the opto itself, not the board. I ended up replacing all of them under the ship, because I didn't want to do it again. The opts on the right are easy to get to, but the ones on the left are difficult. I started a forum recently that went over some of the problems I had. It was called Star Trek Pro drop target other fixes. Hope this helps.

Yeah, replacing the optos fixed it. Pain in the ass, so like you, I replaced all 4 of those since you have to take so much crap off to get to them.
Stern star trek owners - playfield angle: do you have it as recommended ie the spirit level as manufacturer intended, or do you Jack up the rear legs?
Quoted from Da-Shaker:Mine is right at the top of the line.
I rarely go off of the Stern levels, usually level all my games using a digital level so there all identical and accurate, bubbles are usually the same but it's always nice to double check.
I understand, but for ease of use, transferring incline specs off of the same machine wouldn't going off the glass be easier.
Quoted from Da-Shaker:Mine is right at the top of the line.
Thanks guys. Mine was at the lower end of the spirit level, but just adjusted it at the weekend to the top of the line just like your photo. I was interested as it has definitely changed the feel of the game. I like it! Feels right
Quoted from Da-Shaker:I understand, but for ease of use, transferring incline specs off of the same machine wouldn't going off the glass be easier.
Is the glass and playfield 100% perpendicular? Takes 1 minute to remove the glass and do it right.
Some of you may have purchased some Stern Star_Trek Popcaps from me in the past. I posted a new thread about an possible upcoming popcap set I'm thinking of getting made for the STNG machine.

Quoted from MustangPaul:I finally put my stainless speaker panel on and put a blue el paper behind it. Looks great.
Looks great with the blue DMD!
Quoted from Nokoro:Looks great with the blue DMD!
It does but the dmd blue is just a bit to dark, I have to tweak it. It will look a lot better "when" the dmd goes full color. Any day now right.
