can anyone please point me in the direction of the updated sound files with the movie soundtrack in it? Much appreciated!

I'm getting a lot of balls rejecting back into the trough from the shooter lane on my st pro.

Any common causes / solutions?

how much does the LE enterprise cost? Looks sweet, good to know it works easily enough on the pro

nice!

lets get 50 on the nebula mod! its gonna be sweeeeet

So a few times I've been awarded a "bones combo" on my ST pro. Any idea how this is earned?

Is there a guide anywhere that shows what shot gets doubled for each mission when you beat all 3 levels on stern Star Trek?

ive seen that bumper sticker, i want one!

is this an EOS gap issue?

Installed speaker lights from http://www.speakerlightkits.com/ last night on my Star Trek Pro.

really digging it, cant decide if I like white or blue better. I can post pics later, think its a great mod for the price.

the one on the left

can I use this metal apron on Star Trek Pro? I hate the cheap feel of the stock apron, and will eventually powder coat my legs and rails, could get this painted the same color if it fits the machine.

Anyone know?

Awesome Thanks!

subs are super easy to install. You just wire it up to the speaker in the bottom of the cab. I just unscrew one side of the panel from inside the cab then run the speaker wires up thru the gap then rescrew down the panel. I typical solder alligator clips to the end of the speaker wire then clip them onto the speaker. Just plug the other end of the wires into the sub and your good to go.

this sub seems to be used by a lot of people and goes on sale frequently:

just ordered the nebula mod that Zitt created

cant wait to install

could never go back to no shake

regarding stern star trek pro

So I've noticed that on the right ramp and right orbit shots the lights under the "combo" insert (the arrow under the insignia insert) are a lot dimmer than the rest of those inserts on my game. I had the playfield up today to do a flipper rebuild and was gonna swap some extra leds into those inserts and noticed that they are circuit board leds... are these replaceable or what is the best way to change these so they match the brightness of the rest of my game? or am i just cursed with dimmer inserts

cool thanks!

I think the risk / reward of vengeance modes is very awesome

so many times ive been on ball 3 and could either go to my last mission 1 to start Kobyashi Maru or try and get that EB from Vengeance 2 and trying to make those decisions is a thrill when it pays off and when I blow it and drain on Vengeance 2, better luck next time.

Really? Does Stern post this info or does one learn from a distributor?

As far as out selling AC/DC, I see Star Treks everywhere and only a few AC/DC's on route but its all speculation on sales data

never had an issue with GAT starting a new mission. Maybe your switch just needs cleaned/adjusted to be more sensitive

not sure, never seen that glitch if it is a glitch. did you play any level 2 or 3 missions? Cause you can get a full set of bronze then a second set will start counting up before it counts silvers.

Probably a trough opto issue. Reseat the connectors on the optics board and hopefully that will fix it

glad it was something easy!

apparently there are some anomalies in some of the animations that make it really difficult to color

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.

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?

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.

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.

I keep mine steeper than the factory recommended bubble. About 1/4 of the bubble above the center.

Congrats! the layout and shots are very similar to spidey but the structure of the code is completely different.

you and everyone else who doesnt have it. good luck ive searched for over a year

The three stand-ups on the left light your locks. The first set lights two locks, the center shot and the left saucer. Then hit the 3 targets again to light your third lock. Lock 3 starts Klingon multiball

What I've been doing for big scores is (default settings for extra balls, biggest gap outlanes, tight tilt, inclined a bit more than standard) - (playing like this has made me a much better player)

Klingon 1,2,3. Klingon 2 you can get the ball on the left flipper and wait for the double colored shot to be the left ramp and you can rep it for an easy, super fast gold medal. Klingon 3 I will try and play a multiball with. This makes the left ramp doubled.

Then I'll Nero Stack 1,2,3. Nero 2 try and get the third shot bonus jackpot on the doubled left ramp! Big points!!

At this point, Ill Destroy the Drill and Save the Enterprise. If you can GAT (galactic away team under upper flipper) on these modes the left orbit is always lit and you have it doubled. If you cant GAT on DtD, the left ramp and left orbit is almost always lit so you can rip those shots at double value.

If you can make your way to kobayashi maru from here you are set. tons of medals and if you can warp ramp 9.1 into it, yay all the points!

edit: even if you don't make it thru all of this you end up with big points. if you think you can get 2-3 modes done per ball, this is a good route to take. and if you can get your warp extra ball, even better. I don't always get the extra ball from vengeance 2, but its icing if you can. All the level 1 missions you can take your sweet time and time out the shots if you want to make sure you get to KM. Space Jump you can make a shot then GAT then make the center shot and the mode is done.

isn't the combo doubling the shot value, hence its doubled? i dunno, i've never tested the value. I feel like everything I've read and from talking to people its always refereed to as the doubler when you stack 3 deep. either way i score big points with that strat.

But if you combo the level 3 perma lit shot it's worth more aswell tho, correct?

hmm, yeah, they flash like a combo, assumed it comboed it. That's lame.

well, I put up 352 mil on my lunch break with a variation of the strat I posted, doesn't even get on my board ha. got the warp eb but not the vengeance 2 eb.

Y'all need to check your trough opto boards and make sure the plugs are in all the way

was just gonna ask this!

Zitt your product page says for premium / le, do the pros need this as well? This would be my first color dmd

Blue Titans as well. Seem to hold up well except the sling shot rubbers. Rotated them a few times before they broke. I'm trying the perfect play sling shot rubbers now but everything else is blue Titans

you mentioned reseating connectors, not sure which ones you did, did you re-seat the trough opto connectors? sometimes those come lose and can cause random issues like auto plunge

i had to replace my optos on the vengeance cause it was doing weird things in gameplay and triggering when the flippers flipped sometimes... but couldnt re-create it in test mode. had to tear almost the whole topside off to get to em. super lame design. might just be 1 bad opto causing it

edit: I think I may have bought a few extra optos when I did my vengeance, I can check later today when im off work

nope lol

take lots of pictures and put items in zip lock bags with labels on them.

yeah used a glue gun to lock em in. real pain when they get stuck in the trough

Who needs another topper idea? usually 250, about $80 with prime.

They add time too, so if your near KM and you are on ball 3 , might want to avoid it so you can get out of your mode and start the mini wizard mode.

I love Nero stacking so the left orbit is multipled, then play STE and DTD as when you galatic away team the left orbit is perpetually light so you can rip it over and over for big points and that added time means you get to crush it even longer

Stern just announced a VE of Star Trek pro and prem unchanged. Hope that means a code update might still be in the works!

https://www.facebook.com/sternpinball/posts/10156524711514244

hmm, they all seem fairly structured to me. im not in front of my game and i usually GAT so it changes things up as well but from memory i think:

Prime Directive: All main shots are lit for mode shots. Once you've cleared all but two they will all re-light

Nero : Similar to PD but they will re-light off a timer if you dont clear them all in a set time. Have to clear them all to get it to re-light prior to whatever amount of time its on to re-light them all. probably some sort of points are lost i have no idea.

DTD and StE : I always GAT these after making one shot so not too confident on order

Space Jump: I usually make 3 shots then GAT to center for a quick silver medal so not sure on order but more shots start to light after some time has passed i think

Klingon: Not sure GAT this and combo ramps back and forth

hopefully some others can chime in for ya but i think if you just play the modes a few times you can kinda see the order in which they work

woohoo!

he asked for something for the pro

bummed the code didnt fix the black hole award stuff oh well

just stupid stuff like "pops score 2,000" or whatever but it doesnt actually change the pops scoring, nothing game breaking but kind of annoying and you would think it could be fixed easy to add in when they did these other fixes.

I have not updated my code, I have the movie edit right now that I prefer over these changes at this time.

if your coil stop is starting to break it moves around and will magnetize the shaft and keep it up. if you flip the other flipper does this one go down? id take apart and see how your coil stop is doing.

sounds magnetized, replace the coil stops and you should be good to go. might be surprised how broken those can get

Has anyone ever glass off tested which shot in Nero 1 is the doubled shot for the last shot of the mode ?

Correct , so it counts as 2 towards your next medal so if you just collected a silver , hit one shot then it times out to last shot , hit the mutli colored shot and it will count as 2 and get you to a gold. (Level one modes)

Thanks for the clarification on the Nero 1, that was always my guess but never verified

everything gets wiped

maybe check your rubber that is on the post as it leaves. install a bigger/smaller one or a post sleeve to change the angle ? mine never sdtm when its level fwiw

Make sure you level with the glass off and on multiple spots on the playfield for maximum accuracy

Finally got to Enterprise Amok last night! Told myself at work "today was the day!"

I have mine setup pretty tough with largest outlane gaps and no rubbers with a tight tilt

entered with 375 mil, was so excited didnt do much and drained right after it finished with 407, didnt even get on my board lol

Some cool call outs and video! Hopefully I can make it there more often, been a few shots away a dozen or so times and always crapped out.

so my vengeance kickback plunger broke lol. I am trying to find the part from the manual to no avail.

manual part number says: Vengeance Kickback 500-6697-03-ND

anyone have any idea what part will work for it?
I think I would just need the plastic plunger barrel or whatever as it snapped off rather than the whole assembly.

I think i may just need this piece: https://www.marcospecialties.com/pinball-parts/A-15370
if someone could confirm thatd be awesome

Thanks in advance for any help!
