Stern Star Trek Announced

Quoted from RobT:
I think the new speaker panel is growing on me, and isn't as bad as I first thought. I think I was looking at the pro model before

i agree the le speaker panel look much better, the pro looks like a toolbox/garage.

I've been waiting for this reveal and my biggest fear is true, STTNG base cloned. I have one already! He could have at least reversed it and put the upper flipper left side lol. I'm not closing the door yet but no way I am getting one without playing a lot.

seems like i am the only one actually to like the playfield
even if it is a rip off of sttng etc seems like a fast playing game
and yes i played al star treks etc but seems to work for me
i prefer the classic pinball look over the huge lcd from Woz which is too big , i am playing pinball not watching a movie!!!
happy that they did come with a playfield without some photoshop characters on it

other thing i noticed the blurry dmd image, is this on purpose , could it be that stern come's with a full color lcd wen it goes in production?

i like what i see and would be happy to receive my LE

I'd like to see them make a movie based pin to try and attract a new audience... Big Lebowski, Clockwork Orange, Fight Club, hell even a cheech and chong pinball machine would be hilarious!

I'm now in for a WOZ. Just seems like so much more machine for the money. Actually, for less money.

Well, JJP needs to deliver the WOZ goods to many of us before we put down more cash, so I would say the champagne is still in the bucket. I am not running out and putting money on TH anytime soon.

Both Stern and JJP have shot the "Golden LE Goose" IMHO for their own reasons.

Anyone have a STTNG that is clean but needs some minor work?

Dunno if anyone else confirmed this but as I suspected there is no VUK on the Pro.

Actually, I have played it several times. Also, we have a lot of friends and coworkers over for pinball events, and I think WOZ will be a hit with them. I try to have a very diverse collection partly for that reason, and I now feel confident that WOZ will add more that's new to the mix than ST would. I didn't want that to be the case, but it is what it is.

Ok I'll weigh in as a collector and player. I like the game play of STTNG, but hate the art work and Cap'n Picard mug on the backglass. I think the toys on STTNG look cheap and cheesy as hell, where as the two ships on Sterns machine look cool. Yes there are more toys on STTNG, lazers are Frikin cool, but if I was looking to add ST to my collection graphically I would choose Stern's vs Williams. Now wide body's play slow so this could be an advantage to a reg sized machine.

Until we see game play and code, its tough to make a judgment if it will be good or bad!

My two cents

The more i look at the upper flipper, the more i realize what a drain monster using it could be. The lock targets are just asking for trouble and I don't know how easy (or again safe) they will all be to shoot from the lower right flipper.

On top of that, the ramp looks to be at a steep angle to the flipper location.... I mean the opening is wide from post to post, but from the angle of the flipper it sure cuts down some... Looks like a similar ramp openng as HS or STTNG, but the upper flipper seems lower down the PF to me.

Maybe its just the stitched pic

Ya so the Pro probably has a virtual lock and the Prem/EE has a physical lock. Look at this pic here that was spliced together, this looks like another case of Stern photoshoping together PFs. You can see there is a scoop where there should be only the VUK. Either that or they just used a pro pf that was already assembled and starting putting on LE parts.

Until someone can definitively tell me what the lockdown bar button does, I maintain hope that there is still much more to this pin hidden thus far using a cloaking device.

It could still be a physical lock like Firepower.

Also, it looks kinda like the kickback could possibly be combo'd into the Away Team shot...?

I think you are right. I was envisioning some neat lock/VUK setup but I don't think we have any hope of something like that.

From this pic, it looks like the front of the ship opens. Don't know what it is going to fire at though.

If you already own those games, it is a decisive factor, at least for me.

Good point. That could cost them with current STTNG owners. It's newer, brighter and faster, but pretty darn similar. Reason enough to upgrade? I don't know. I don't have a STTNG.

Hard to know how much of this is final. The LE appears to have a regular black plastic apron on it in the video.
