Quoted from Vyzer2:

Not as experienced as you so just asking a question. Will take a closer look at the dt and see if there is any adjustment I can make.

Quoted from Vyzer2:

Thanks. I'm way past the bulb issues ......but still have much to learn. I have already fixed the dt with the correct washers and didn't have any more issues that have been mentioned in other threads. But the dt not dropping when hit is an issue. Doesn't happen but maybe 10% of the time but when it happens, the ball rebounds rather hard. Hence wondering if it's not supposed to come down during certain modes. I really can't see what adjustments can be made, but if everyone is not having this issue, then must be something that needs adjustment.

Quoted from Nokoro:

Perhaps it is a game setting?? Maybe that is why one of you can reproduce it and the other can't. Doesn't really sound like a switch issue, but if it was code, both of you would see it unless your settings were different.

Quoted from Rob_G:

Setting the timer to 1 is a novel approach, although it does not account for other things happening in that 1 second like black hole being hit and adding time to the timer which I've had happen several times. There's also the possibility of of even starting Away Team in that 1 second. The 1 second actually seems more like 3 or 4 seconds too.

Quoted from Rob_G:

When you get a gold medal on a tier 1 mission, the timer resets to 1. This is by default but can be changed in the game options.
Is that what you were asking about?

Quoted from ectobar:

As for another bug: Nero 1 awards the 'Nero Award' for any final shot. All the other modes there are only 1 or 2 shots that will get you the award.

Quoted from Whysnow:

running 1.61
Ball 1 make it through Prime Directive 1, shoot left mode start, select PD2, ball ejects from left mode start like it should and I manage to drain before making a single shot.
bug >> ball 2 comes in shooter lane and it is like I never selected PD2. I have to launch and then hit back to a mode start in order to reselect PD2.
maybe not a bug and I just sucked so got punished, but it sure felt like a bug.

Quoted from Kronnix:

I don't see it listed here but it seems that setting the score to give you an extra ball every 15 mil and then setting this to 'fixed' is no longer working. It appears to be behaving dynamically instead. The 1st game worked fine with extra balls at 15 mil, 30 mil etc., but once a new high score was received it increased these requirements to 45, 90, etc. Bug or do I have another setting wrong besides those I mentioned?

Quoted from jawjaw:

Agreed, not only does it work well but the ramp sign looks better with a back cover. Mine was hard to stick at first because wires in the way. Once I got it to stick it has not come off. When I first got the machine, I did not know the warp ramp was a shot because the light was barely noticeable. Not anymore.

Quoted from ectobar:

Yes. It's only held on by double sided tape.

Quoted from ectobar:

A last question, why are you guys playing PD2 so much? Playing for shot doublers by completing all 3 missions is a main cornerstone of my strategy now. Completing all the PD's give you the Mission Start 2X which is arguably the worst shot to have doubled. You really want to shoot that shot more(especially on a pro)? In v1.5, it was definitely worth playing through PD2 to get to PD3 to milk the scoring exploit. That has since been neutered, and as it stands, PD2/3 aren't particularly valuable. Just curious if you guys have some super sneak strategy that I'm not seeing.

Quoted from Captain_Kirk:

I just checked their site. The pic they have posted has it on the right too.
How odd.

Quoted from jawjaw:

Plus, it's just like all the lens flares in the movie!

Quoted from Rob_G:

Of course they can be taken care. The question is of course - will they?

Quoted from Rob_G:

I checked DTD2 some more and realize now that the solid lit shots don't do anything. It's the blinking ones, the ones you have not made which you need to shoot.

Quoted from HighVoltage:

It seems extra balls don't stack, at least that happened twice to me when getting warp ramp extra ball award then kobayashi maru extra ball. I was only rewarded one of the extra balls, they don't add up.

Quoted from HighVoltage:

Recreated again, but without the warp extra ball. At end of level 1s, just before Kobayashi Maru, extra ball gets lit, but nothing is awarded when you hit it. So it's not a stacking issue, I guess EB shouldn't be lit then.

Quoted from HighVoltage:

As I've started to target the Away Team shot more, I noticed the detection fails often (very frustrating!), especially on good shots that bounce straight down off the flipper and zip through the lane. I tried adjusting the switch, but didn't help much, it just seems the ball is traveling too fast for the software to detect the switch.
Does this happen to others regularly? If not, maybe I need to try some further switch adjustment. I'm considering a modification to install a horizontal switch at this point, or maybe some kind of gate or something to slow the ball.
If this is common, I'd like to see an update that plunger lane switch should also award Away Team in the middle of play, as it means the shot was made, with the exception of the rare bouncing stray ball.
