I'm in...just ordered a premium yesterday !
Somewhere in the forum I saw a list of protection items to install but can't find it.
Does somebody have that link or any suggestions?

Does somebody know how to remove the VUK curved metal deflector.
I am getting ready to install the cliffy protector for the hole and after reading cliffys instructions and looking at the part i cant see where the screws are or how to access them. At least in the order prescribed by cliffys website.

Maybe some one has already done this and can help me out and give me some tips.

#3379 8 years ago
Quoted from BigDan:

Where can I find this Vengeance plastic protector? Im referring to the horizontal one covering the lane and not the vertical one covering the explosion plastic.

You can get that from pinbits at pinbits.com

Has anyone ever had an issue with a flickering light under the NERO insert on the Premium /LE ?

#3559 8 years ago
Quoted from monkeyboypaul:

Perhaps we should then! Once i get that playfield up again to have a better look i'll post bac

Yes we should. ..
my premium black hole is pretty dim compared to rest of the inserts.

#3613 8 years ago

Help me out guys what is this Blackout Mod and where can I get it?

#3670 8 years ago

Just getting ready to install my speaker panel decal from Aurich, does anybody have tips on how to do this.
Do I remove the panel ? How do you keep it smooth without bubbles or wrinkles?

#3673 8 years ago

Thanks Aurich
Actually didn't realize I needed to remove original decal.

#3687 8 years ago

I got my 7/16 clear super rings from cointaker for around the entire playfield. About 2 months ago with no splitting yet.

#3717 8 years ago

Has anyone considered using a dremel to cut away the other half of laser hole in the apron to increase the projected laser field?
I've heard it's pretty cool and it throws the laser on the wall behind the machine and translight.

#3819 8 years ago

That's sweet pwhiz
Friday night I hit 23 warp ramp shots and actually made 9 in a row.
This pin is SO KILLER love it more every day I play it.
Waxed it today ...holy shit ....thank god I have all the protection in place. Cliffy, Freddy , pinbits. ...let it fly.

#3824 8 years ago

Ok guys sorry what is EA

#3851 8 years ago
Quoted from jpc211245:

Hi -
I am a wannabe......but to fix that status I am prepared to buy a nib ST Premium in the next 24 hours.
What is the single best reason to buy this particular pinball?
Thanks in advance

Because it's the best !

#3852 8 years ago

Anybody out there need an Aurich speaker panel decal ?
I have an extra one with a small very small wrinkle on the upper left corner. Decal has never been used or removed from backing. Send me a pm and I will ship it to you for free.

#3853 8 years ago

Decal gone....

#3883 8 years ago

Where can I get the star fleet logos and leds for the speakers?

#3895 8 years ago

Thanks Tuna
Just ordered my speaker light kit.
FYI back in stock !

#3946 8 years ago
Quoted from Trekkie1978:

Looks like Premiums are almost gone from the distributors. I saw Automated raised their price by $400.

How do you know this ?

#3950 8 years ago

Does ST have a skill shot from the plunge?

#3977 8 years ago

Great fix Eskaybee,, simple and you can see it gets used .
Simply by you pointing out how dirty the red post is.

#3998 8 years ago

Speaking of airballs
Does anybody get airballs while shooting the warp ramp ? Sometimes it shoots up and lands in the alpha ramp wire form . I have even had the ball fly all the way across the pf under the vengeance and land in the pop bumpers. I have checked the warp ramp flap but can't figure it out, anybody?

#4000 8 years ago

What I think is happening is , the warp ramp metal flap is slightly lifted at the lower left leading edge just above the light lock target bank and just behind the ramp flap is a post with a small rubber on it. So when I hit the lower edge of the ramp flap it jumps slightly hitting the top edge of the rubber on that post which launches it to who knows where.

#4031 8 years ago

Is there a particular mission or 2 that should be started first and second for scoring reasons. Say, for tournament or league play?

1 week later
#4115 8 years ago
Quoted from MT45:

2 questions for ST Premium experts.
First. About 25% of the time when I hit the Alpha ramp, when the ball is on the way back down on the wire habitrail, as it hits the VUK turn, it literally comes off the rails and flies onto the playfield. More often than not dropping right into the left flipper return lane. Anyone else have this issue and how do you fix it?...

I had this happen when the pin was brand new and after waxing the pf. The ball is moving so fast that the rails can't hold it.
I have had the ball on the alpha ramp, after the initial 90' turn come off the rail hit the cabinet wall to the left back on the rail and off again to the right at the VUK turn more than once.

#4117 8 years ago

Funny you say that eskaybee, now that i think about it.
After I installed my pinbits set , slings , that stopped.

#4132 8 years ago

I prefer the original sound over that operatic version, have you guys not seen this.

https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/looking-for-stle-code-with-music-from-the-movie/page/3#post-2733832

#4147 8 years ago

Need some help,
I installed the green laser yesterday and I also have the blackout mod installed, but since I installed the laser when a ball is auto plunged in Klingon multiball the gi lights flash on and the laser stops projecting for a second or two. Did not notice this prior to instalation of green laser.
Anybody have this with these two mods running? Is that normal ?

#4187 8 years ago

When I received my NIB Premium it had no sound , none at all.
Stern had NO idea what could be wrong, so I said screw it I need to install the new code anyways, after that it worked for whatever reason.

#4201 8 years ago
Quoted from Eryeal:

Whatever you do, don't tell him that there's actually more than one ball.

But Someone please tell him that he doesn't have to put quarters in it .

#4202 8 years ago

double post

#4242 8 years ago

The pinball refinery kit is the one that matches up with Aurichs translight.

#4286 8 years ago

I would like my spinner to spin a little faster .
What did you use ?

#4304 8 years ago

I need to add some accent color to my game.
Let's see some pics of playfield lighting.
What did you use and where ?

1 week later
#4312 8 years ago

Help me out guys
My photon torpedoes leds have started to glitch and show random / multiple colors at the same time. Hopefully it's just a connection thing.
Any ideas?

#4315 8 years ago

Thanks eskaybee,
Any one else have this issue?

#4318 8 years ago
Quoted from JimB:

Can someone post a photo of the connection location next time you in that area?

Yes this would be great.

#4327 8 years ago

Freddy's ramp Protectors from Germany is where i got mine , very nice.
Does somebody have that link?

#4329 8 years ago

www.freddys-pinball-paradise.de
Guys name is Andy, for whatever reason

#4333 8 years ago

Quick question,
Are the leds in the slings and lanes 1smd or 2smd or something else?

1 week later
#4371 8 years ago

Freddys ramp Protectors are great .
Installed on my machine before 1st game.

#4372 8 years ago
Quoted from gweempose:

I just wish there was a way to modify the kickback so it had a little more, you know ..... kick. I don't understand what is fundamentally different about the kickback on ST, but it is way less consistent than any other game I own.

I believe there is a setting for this in the feature menu.

#4375 8 years ago
Quoted from gweempose:

Does the setting affect the strength or the timing? It seems like the timing is slightly off, causing weak kickbacks most of the time. I'm pretty sure my game is not unique in this sense.

I agree the kickback is inconsistent, but yes I believe it's a strength adjustment

Feature adjustment #47 , left eject power.

#4376 8 years ago
Quoted from gweempose:

Thanks! Do you have to install these on top of the factory protectors?

Yes, from what I remember they install over the stock ones. It's a tight fit with some twisting like previously mentioned but they look great and and are very sturdy.

#4378 8 years ago

Just ripped off a few games this morning after being away for thanksgiving, damn this game is fun, glad to be home.
Anyone else love getting home just to play ?

#4382 8 years ago
Quoted from Zadom:

Looking at the ramp protectors on eBay and it looks like they go under and not over the factory protectors. Is this correct?

Ya i may have that backwards , either way good product.

#4391 8 years ago
Quoted from jawjaw:

You might want to also check your balls and make sure they are in good shape.

#4392 8 years ago
Quoted from Captain_Kirk:

I set mine for 3 balls. Extra ball awarded at 5 warp ramps, 25M, 75M, 125M, and 200M.

I made similiar setting adjustments tonight
3 Ball
Extra Ball 7 warp shots
50 million , 100 mil, 150mil, 200mil
Made it to KM first game had double scoring running, and apron lights not running.
So to answer previous question I guess this is normal.

#4393 8 years ago

Let me add it was great playing deeper into the game with the new settings, and that was my first game. Guests will also enjoy it much more I think.

#4401 8 years ago

Is this a problem all of us will face eventually over time ?
My pin isn't that old, less than a year.
If so did any one take some detailed pics and document fix?

#4414 8 years ago

These caps look great !
I've heard getting to the bumper under the vengence can be a bit a of a pain.
Anyone have experience with this?

#4416 8 years ago
Quoted from Tuna_Delight:

Yes and even more of a pain on the Premium/LE. But well worth the effort!

Not what I wanted to hear, I have the Premium.

#4419 8 years ago
Quoted from Meegis:

I have an LE and have the pop caps waiting on install....
Debating if I try to do it before the holidays or not.

Take some pics and let us know how it goes.

1 week later
#4523 8 years ago

I as well have my special set to extra ball and I've seen it twice

#4570 8 years ago

Would anyone be interested in a set of brand new unused, asteroid pin blades.
Send me a pm.

#4584 8 years ago
Quoted from Zitt:

Yeah. I've given up trying to keep it straight

How many games do you guys have on your machines?
I'd this common, anyone else?

1 week later
#4624 8 years ago

Would any of you guys say that ST premium and Metallica Premium are similiar in game play on shots?

#4629 8 years ago

Great info everyone, thinking of picking up a Metallica Premium

1 week later
#4665 8 years ago

^^^^where can I find that setting in the menu?

#4667 8 years ago

Thank you

#4670 8 years ago

That would do it

#4688 8 years ago

Quick question,
Are there spots around the playfield that should have a little mylar applied.
I have never heard of anyone talking about it around here.

#4691 8 years ago

I have the cliffys in the slots on the ball drop.
But what about around the pops?

#4693 8 years ago

Really ? I have never noticed that when cleaning , or installing mods.

#4698 8 years ago

I went back tonight with my mini led Maglite flashlight and I could not see any mylar at all.

So should LE / Premium owners think about putting some around the pops, or Is that overkill with the extra clear?

#4705 8 years ago
Quoted from monkeyboypaul:

My LE has Mylar in the pop bumpers and a big piece in front of the vengeance - all the way across from the warp ramp to the beta ramp, and up to the drop target.
It looks factory, but as the 2nd owner I can't say for sure.

I would guess this was done by first owner. Unless someone else can verify

Quoted from rai:

I'm curious, what the effect of Mylar if you need to replace it?

This is a very good question,

#4709 8 years ago
Quoted from rai:

My STLE has a big area Mylar in front of Vengance came like that from the factory.
I'm not sure about the pop area, I can't see it but didn't take the glass off to check.

That's totally weird, some LEs do and some dont. I can definitely tell you my premium does not have any mylar.

#4713 8 years ago
Quoted from ectobar:

I have a Premium, and have the same setup. Definitely interesting that some have it and some don't.

That's crazy, so what's your production date?
Maybe I should get some mylar ?
And call Chas at Stern and see what's up.

#4714 8 years ago

My bad, i wasnt looking at this originally but I actually do have mylar in front of the vengeance like others but can not tell in the pops,

1 week later
#4765 8 years ago

Which 3 in a row award the most points ?
If I remember these captain's chair awards are not timed and end once the maximum amount of points has been eraned.

So which of the 3 , spinner, ramps, or pops awards the most ?

#4766 8 years ago

And do they run simultaneously or does one stop after another begins ?

#4769 8 years ago
Quoted from jawjaw:

You only get one 3-in-a-row per level. Although, you can get two if the last mode you complete finishes two rows.

Good to know .

#4786 8 years ago

So before starting kobiashi maru tonight the pin was awarding me my medals as usual...
5 bronze
1 silver
4 gold
2 gold...What ?
So for some reason it gave me 2 more gold medals on a completely new screen after it had already awarded gold medals.
Any one else ever see that ? I could swear that's what I saw .

#4790 8 years ago

I don't know what happened with the medals, but it was not normal, and I can't be 100% sure about the medal count but there was an extra award screen. That's what caught my attention I was ready to keep playing and it continued to award 2 more medals.

#4792 8 years ago

Of course this will never be confirmed

#4803 8 years ago

So I'm not crazy

#4806 8 years ago

Yes sir I was thinking the same thing.

#4808 8 years ago
Quoted from Nokoro:

Of course it is only crazy people that deny being crazy.

#4835 8 years ago

See what I started

Quoted from rai:

I think there might be a gold bug.

#4865 8 years ago
Quoted from MustangPaul:

It's a cool visual reminder that you have torpedoes, I wish the Pro had something like that instead of just the button flashing. But that's why you buy a Prem. and LE.

Im pretty sure the pro has the torpedo triangles as well.

#4866 8 years ago

Maybe I misunderstood what you are referring to mustangpaul,

Have you tried playing with the cinematic music from the movie ?

It fills in alot of dead air with nice sound,

Just got my premium, unboxed it, and played about 5 games. Totally awesome out of the box experience. Love it
Ramp shots, lighting, effects, toys, and sound are all great. Highly recommend this game.

#5532 7 years ago
Quoted from ectobar:

It took 3ish years, but I finally got to 5 Year Mission!
What a rush. Almost completed it as well.
Was on ball 3 with an EB from the Vengeance already secured. Had 3 modes left to go. Got to the last one, KB3 and drained. Completed KB3, and then the nerves really kicked in. Proceeded to brick the Vengeance shot to start 5YM at least 4-5 times. Got double dangered recovering one of the shots, but finally manged to put it home.
It's time to sip on a beverage to calm my nerves while I grin and enjoy the rest of the weekend.
