Damn it... now I might now have a complete set.
This won't do.. just won't do.

If anyone has a super cheap blown out STNG project they want to part with.... I have a retheme in mind.

Saw an internet story somewhere recently that STD is funded thru Season 5. And they it's also been picked up for a movie.
We'll see.

?!? Why; he's not an Android until late life. You're a strange one there sir.

Fair enough.

That catch looked... very Klingon... was about to criticize the welding; then remembered, I suck worse.

Nice work so far.

When you're past the Whitewood stage... lets talk about getting you some translucent pop bodies and skirts!

Can't tell from the drop targets... the defiantly aren't Bally, WMS, or Stern drops... Are they Data East?

Duuude... OSHPark.com now does flexible PCBs now.
Shouldn't be that hard to redesign that flex PCB for modern repair.
Let me know if you need some help with that.

"Revenge is a dish best served cold"

There may be other color options in the future. Nothing I'm ready to publicly disclose right now.

Oh? I can still mock it... the internet never forgets.
Kidding.

I'll be here / No rush. Looks like some Gottlieb popcaps on the modern bases?

As I stated...

I've approved the samples... so as soon as the Dragon boat holiday is over; I hope to have them start production shortly... so maybe in 30ish days.

Here's the Data East Wide drop targets in frosted polycarbonate:

Unsure if they would fit your drop target assembly.

That UFP station looks pretty good... but; what's with that flasher bolted to the top?
Looks a little out of place to me. Is that just temporary? maybe go with a clear dome like the red ones in STNG's prototype cannons?

Can you mount either from inside the ?model?

Hey; if you decide you want to do other translucent colors - I now have stock of translucent skirts and bases... which I didn't have a few months ago.

Didn't Eaglemoss also do a Discovery Shuttle Craft recently?
http://Pinball.Click/STD_ClassC
They say the length of the shuttle is 6.3 inches; I'm guessing that's too big for you're 3d Printed one?

Did you get a chance to watch any of the Discovery stuff during Star Trek Day today? I didn't; was too busy working. :S

LOL I figured you had a plan... or had already ordered the skirts. or something.
Don't forget the bases.

Are you changing the Drop targets in STD? or are those drops for a different game?
I thought you'd need:

based upon the pictures I saw earlier in the thread.

Ok. feel free to email me. I'm also willing to restock the Stern Drops if you don't need them.

Got your order; will ship on Monday.

STD Season 3... in 13 days.
I'll probably reactivate my CBS All Access (or is it Paramount+ now); via amazon on or about the 10th.

Ah.. Buying tools to build a pinball. Nothing is better

If there is one thing I want to learn to do is TIG weld.
One day... he says.

Not that you need my approval; you asked for it.
Yes, you have done a very good job.
I really want to learn to do the same or better.

Man... why aren't you 2part clear coating this beast?
I swear if you were in in TX... we'd get together one weekend and do it.

I swear a dust storm seems to show up a lot when watching season 3...

What did I do wrong, only took me 1.5years?

I need to apologize as I realize my post must have came off "elite-ist". I hate typing responses on phones.
My home brew was more of a pseudo-retheme; not a full blown machine.
while I did CNC my own PF and retheme the art ... I used existing game code.
I imagine when I actually do decide to do my next machine; it won't be 1.5 years. Coding new rules/dmd art isn't something that's going to fly by or come naturally to me.

So; props to these recent homebrew games that are taking years to complete!

Back on topic; Loganpinball ... what are you going to pull from Season 3 now that it's nearly complete?

tenor[1] (resized).png

Meh. Honestly; I *HATED* season 1. Season 2 was better. Season 3 even better yet.
That said; Picard was great for me - but some friends weren't feeling it.
We'll see what Season 3's finale has in store for us... I'm very curious what is sending that distress call.

:vague spoilers below - don't read if you haven't see S3Ep9:

IDK; I felt part 1 of the season ending was really kinda "Meh".
The Mirror universe feels wrong right now after such a Trek like Season 3. It just feels to me like they didn't want to actually do anything else this season and just pulled the mirror universe back from mothballs to fill out the season. I do like the uniforms tho. ;D

Maybe part 2 / season finale will bring it all together... but the "previews" didn't leave me wanting more.
I honestly don't care what happens to the Empress. I'd rather there be a battle with "The emerald Chain" and/or a science mission to that distress call rather than more "Evil universe" story line. You know she's coming back to the prime universe... because she has to do Section 31.

BTW: When did it become "ok" to do 10 episodes for a "season"? I want to find the asshat that came up with that great idea and kick them out a Airlock.

So; those wide Data East targets work? Awesome.

I personally find the Mirror Universe story in Disco to be lazy.
That said; we know she's doing Section 31... but the point in "time" where the Guardian claims Philippa is going is perplexing to me.
It's probably "anywhere" they want it to be. I can't imagine it's back at Disco's original timeline. But who knows.
We'll see when they finally start filming Section 31.

someone likes to weld.

No. Please.
If you need true etched plastics; please contact me via PM.
My laser cutter is happy to help out.

Shouldn't he... like be fired... for putting other people at risk?
Shouldn't that message be loud and clear?
He should be terminated before you get back to work... I'm not saying you'd do it... but murder or a massive ash kicking would be on my mind when I saw in him next.
To be clear; given the bs this week... I'm am not inciting anyone to commit a crime... this just really angers me.

That said; Quarantine with a Set of Star trek Pins. Yes please. 2 weeks please.

So; just finished Season 3. I was expecting a cliffhanger season finale... but didn't get it.

That all clear targets looks awesome; what's the deal with the blue target top the right...

Is it one of these:

?

It would be better if those were GFI breakers that would trip as you defeat the reactors.
