9. Tweaked - changed denounce logic for the Vengeance opto's.
10. Tweaked - Vengeance kickback is now more responsive after the initial kick, i.e. sometimes an immediate shot back into the Vengeance center lock would not register as a hit.
11. Fix - fixed several light shows that didn't use allocated memory properly.
12. Fix - First pass at fixing issue with laser staying on after Klingon multiball is over.

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.

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.

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

Change your settings. By default it's on Auto, so it adjusts to your play. If you want it always on Warp 3 you can set that instead.

Is that still in effect? Seems like we're hitting the point where those patents might start expiring, no?

I mean, I turned it off myself. But it's a setting you can toggle, I don't think it's really that big a deal.

I do agree, off by default works for me. But as long as I can change it myself I'm not overly stressing.
