There's a minor bug where under some circumstances the Away Team mode in Nero can leave the standup targets lit purple for a while.

Already documented and submitted it as a bug, but it's just a little cosmetic glitch, no big deal. Just putting it here for the sake of completion.

Wow, that is quite a list!! Can't wait to play it tonight!

5 days after getting my Premium.

I love life.

LOL! Great timing..

Who says Stern is slow? 5 days? Man they're fast!

Its a small tweak, but I am really liking how the apron lights now match the mission your on. Its minor. But the more I play the more I did it.

On my 2nd game after the update I hit the Vengeance drop target and drained down the middle. The machine went into repeated ball search mode and could not "find" the ball. I shook the machine but it kept searching for the ball. I then turned it off, back on, and the next game started fine.

I only had around 70 games on the old code, but this never happened before.

Minor yet effective. Tell ya what, it's a bitching feature during multiball! Even though the inserts are lit up, during the mayhem it's nice to see the apron indicating your mission is still active.

Happy to see Dwight got the secret bonus gold medal award in the game

Doesn't happen on my pro..... cuz it plays faster

Rob

On my first game I hit the torpedo button as I was draining. The ball saver was lit so it put another ball in the shooter lane, but it did not auto launch. Could be a hold over from auto lunch issues in the previous version.

I also shot the center a few times during KM and it never registered.

Oh one thing I noticed is that STE has an awesome drum riff that sounds incredible with a subwoofer. I think I am going to leave the sound alone for now. I'm kinda tired of the soundtrack stuff anyhow.

Rob

I played a few games on the new code and it was really fun. I had a couple of weird things happen on my first ball in both games I got the end of ball bonus before I drained and the flippers went dead. I'm not sure if it's code related or I need to check my ball trough hopefully it's not code related. Anyone else have this problem? It happened on Klingon battle mode.

I've played about 10 games and there are some great changes. I did notice 2 times when I hit the start button to begin the game it instantly chose my mission, not a chance to cycle thru them?? ***Update-seems to have been an issue with a flakey switch, Thanks Eskeybee!***

I noticed that I still suck at pinball...even with great code...

Totally your trough. Just make sure you tighten both connectors. It's a flaw in the Stern design that I believe I've heard they've fixed already, but you just have to deal with it on the older games. That's absolutely the classic behavior.

Just played the new code, great game before even better now, the light show is huge.
Perfect day as I'm on a day off and code comes out early, Aurich's alt translite turned up yesterday (thanks Aurich its awesome) so fitted that while the code was downloading. Its like a new pin.

Also gotta say thanks Stern for new code, keep em coming.

Oh yeh first post, lurked for a while, got first pin just before xmas only took 2 months and number 2 is in the house, I'm hooked.

I noticed that the skill shot to the Beta ramp does not stay available as long as the light stays on. If you hit it right away it counts but many times I hit the shot while the light is still flashing rapidly and it doesn't count. This is on the Pro..

I have also noticed that my alpha ramp is registering false hits but I don't think that it's code related.

I had the kickout/left lock immediately shoot a ball out during klingon battle when lock was lit.

It registered on the text on the DMD and I got the callout. But no flasher or noise to warn it was coming. It went in and immediately kicked out.

Not sure of the circumstances. But thought it odd as every time before and since it has said " ball # locked" shown the text on DMD flashed and made the warning noise that it is about to get kicked out.

Exited kobayashu with three balls still active on the PF, had 2x scoring mulitball (warp 9.9) stacked as well. Klingon lock and mode start were lit at left saucer, and klingon lock was lit at vengeance. Shot vengeance a few times but nothing happened - no lock. Hit the left saucer and started klingon multiball and PD2. Need to either recognize Klingon lock at vengeance during standard-play multiball, or just disable it during same.

You are a big turkey for only owning the pin 5 days.

LOL
Enjoy!!!

So based on the changelog, seems 5 year mission does have dots. Do the extra lighting features on the le all work now?

Lighting on LE is fully functional Captain!.

Some voice callouts don't play at the end of missions now. I have yet to hear spock confiscate the illegally obtained ship. He just takes it without saying a damn thing now...

Crew member combos are still never heard, at least during a mission.

What is it with the insert blink rate in missions like Nero 2? The longer you are in the mission, the faster the inserts blink. At a certain point it just goes from medium blink to fast flicker in about 2 seconds. Is there some rule concerning how fast the blink is or is this a bug? I used to think the inserts blinked quicker if a timer was running down or there were less shots to make. There's no timer in Nero 2 though!

DTD2 has no sound effects (same as before).

Rob

(Not a bug, but Nero 2 bonus jackpot now shows 50,000 for clearing all the enemies)

Something is defiantly "off" during end-of-ball. IT sounds weird in many chases. The music dies and the medal awards seem too loud.

The bonus count is a bit too slow and pressing flippers seems to abort it rather than speeding it up. Yes, I noticed it sounds a bit 'off', but it's not bad.

Rob

Check instant info, it should tell you. There's a lot more useful stuff in there now.

Ok, when it says a number of shots, it means not just any shot, but the one that is blinking a different color. When nero 2 goes into hyper flicker mode you cannot easily tell which one is blinking more than 1 color.

Rob

So with full dots on wizard and le lighting, I guess we could consider this one done?

No, I think a few obvious bugs like missing callouts should be fixed. Plus it's going to take a while for players to flesh out the update and find any obscure bugs or scoring exploits. Stern does seem committed to having their games tournament ready.

Rob

My Star Trek pro also drops flippers mid way through a game. We played 10 games tonight and 2 games dropped the power on the flippers. I think I was on Space jump 2 and just after multi ball finished the 1 ball on the playfield was still going around when all of a sudden all the flippers stopped. The ball eventually rolled down and went into the trough and registered. I believe this is a bug as im the second person to report this issue. I know its not a switch issue or the ball trough and im certain 100% its a bug being a tech in the arcade industry. I know another member on here has also reported the dead flipper during game issue.

nope its not the ball trough as its doing the same thing on my pro machine as well. anyone else apart from myself and another user on here have this issue pop up?

Didn't the old code have a flow of insert lights (from bottom to top) accompany the launch of a ball?

The new code doesn't have that. What a bummer. Love that effect.

Stern, if you issue a tweak could please put that back in?

yes I noticed that too and its a pity because it was very affective !

Is there any diversity in the missions? I heard this as a common complaint, everything in the past seemed the same.

I wouldn't consider a few missing callouts and minor bugs something that denotes unfinished. For me, finished means "not incomplete". Maybe unpolished is better. There are these types issues in finished games also from Williams. If all the modes are in and game features are working I think we have a finished game. Note that doesn't indicate that the game will not receive more updates. It just means it's no longer incomplete in my opinion.

I have had this issue numerous times on all late model Sterns,
It is a connector issue on the trough opto boards as stated earlier,
replace both connectors with molex type connectors to fix the problem.
Definitely not a software bug.
I make a point of changing these connectors on my customers machines when ever I get the opportunity.
Stern themselves have updated these connectors to a molex style connector on the very latest titles.

No flipper issues here on my Premium.

Purring like a kitten.....

Is there diversity in the missions? I heard this as a common complaint, even in the past seemed.

Each mission is different. already explained in other post.

Test you will see

I'll test some more this week; but I remember those call outs you mention are hit and miss and happens (like in most pinball games) based on priority of whats occurring in the game. Perhaps something else was triggered that took priority of the end mission call out? Understandably, the end mission call out should have a high priority, im just thinking outside the box. And I must add, this update did an awesome job of mixing and overlapping call outs....except for the few minor ones Rob here pointed out

and to answer markmon's question; yes, game is complete (though I haven't gotten enterprise amok or 5 year mission yet to check), but the game feels amazing. There are still a few bugs that hopefully gets worked out.

The Galactic Away Team really shakes things up. Then it all becomes about the spinner, or something else. Really cool.

Flippers went dead on my LE twice in 10 games

This happened to me also with the old version. I checked my ball through and figured out that one of the two cables that are going to the optos was loose. I put it back in and since then it works.

Maybe this will solve your issues as well. Haven't checked the new version yet. Overall I think there are a lot of "loose" parts on the star trek. Every now and then I have to check all connectors going to led boards and flashers and so on. Anyway... I really hope this isn't code related.

I think you nailed it, lots of connectors - and with coils firing harder than previous code can make loose connectors become more obvious with the update.

I had an issue when entering Kobi Multiball. I think I had just finished a vengeance mode (not sure), but it seemed that Kobi started as well as KB3. At least the KB3 animations were playing on the DMD along with the Kobi playfield shot lights. The light show was also different... kind of like things were going strange... Almost all of the playfield lights turned off. I wasn't sure if it was a mistake as it was pretty cool and almost seemed like it was supposed to happen. The reason I think it's a bug is because of the KB3 animations and the different light show.

Is the light show for Kobi Multiball always the same in 1.6 and the same as it was in 1.5? Or, is it new and changing?

Very nice update, also my wife loves it as it seems to get her into the action easier.. One question, what do you guys think of the "trumped tada" sound when you get a medal? I am at work and still hear it: pwwwaaap...

Love it. Best part of new update! On the LE the flashers all go, including backbox with it. Very exciting.
