Quoted from Dis_Pinballer:

Call Stern and complain about code status.
If you bought a BMW, and the engine bursts into flames, you would call the dealer.

Great comparison.

Did your Star Trek burst into flames? I'm assuming you have been around long enough and decided to take the risk and buy a Stern title without Lyman involved. You gambled and lost. Better to just cut bait and sell and get something else.

I've said it before in many threads that nothing can save ST for me other then a complete dump of the current code and something completely different being done.

Quoted from markmon:

Do you have some ideas? This might be a fun project for me to p-roc.

18 modes just doesn't work for me. The multipliers are useless also. Maybe would like to see something similar to SM where you qualify the modes n get a 2x shot and finish the mode gets you a 3x shot. The 18 modes has to go though.

Quoted from gamestencils:

Star Trek is a great game as is.

I've never heard anyone say this who wasn't a current owner of the game. And yes I've owned both the LE and the Pro.

ST is nowhere close to a great game.

Quoted from gamestencils:

You're certainly entitled to that opinion, as I am.. it does not make either of us right in any way. Everyone enjoys the hell out of it when they play it here. The fact that I own one isn't a relevant thing at all, if it sucked to me it would be gone already. I owned a Metallica LE less than one week and it was gone because I disliked it so much. It's all subjective, but the real point is overreaction. Calling it terrible and unplayable is just is ridiculous as calling it the best game of all time.

Yes we all have our opinions but let me ask you this. How many threads have been started complaining about the code on Star Trek as opposed to Metallica? I'd check but don't feel like wasting a whole day looking up the countless threads of people complaining about ST's code. He'll there are 2 pretty active ones right now.

ST is a fun game to flip the ball around on for sure and that's cause it's a Steve Ritchie layout. Unfortunately that's where the fun ends as the code is just awful.

Quoted from TVP:

I'm having troubles understanding how lyman programmed the cannon modes in acdc.

Lyman has quite a few ideas for acdc but obviously his time is being allocated for newer games. You really wanna compare ST to sterns crown jewel ACDC???
