I can't follow all of the threads around here, but I wanted to mention a couple of strategies or things I've experienced on star trek.(I have a pro)

Tonight Instead of getting "3in a row", I got prime directive then klingon battle, switched over to save the enterprise, then nero, that left destroy the drill as the "connection to getting 2 lines of "3in a row". Well I pulled it off, got 2 rows of 3 in a row and it gave me both super spinner and super pops. May have been discussed already, but if not, there ya go.

On another I got to warp 9.9 and it kicked me a 2nd ball, almost like an instant 2 ball multiball.

One other thing I found interesting during the same game that I got warp 9.9 is that I earned a 2nd extra ball and I have no idea how. Factory settings, and it currently takes warp 6 to light it right now.

Love the game!

So either everyone was aware of this, and I missed it? Or everyone is out testing it to see if it is true?

73 million something this particular game.

Isn't it random? And you only get one 3 in a row per game right? Unless you are doing this double 3 in a row discussed in this thread.

Got to warp 9.9 again and it definitely gave me an instant 2 ball multiball.

Next ramp was warp 1 again. I made it to warp 7 the second time around, no extra ball at the 2nd warp four though, dammit.

Oh and a previous poster was correct, my second extra ball was a black hole award.
