So I've searched a bit regarding this issue with the drop target underneath the borg ship, but no one seems to have the same issue. The target was getting stuck in the down position. The leaf switch was getting stuck on top of the mechanism that pushed it down. So I adjusted it physically and tilted the switch to a slightly different position. Testing the drop up/down works just fine, no issue at all. The real issue now is the target appears and sounds like it's trying to reset over and over when a drop target mode is activated. It should drop when, for instance, launch probe mode is activated. It does sometimes but not every time. Then again, sounds like it's resetting over and over. Any direction would be great. Thanks

It's either there is an issue with the smaller drop coil or the switch is now out of adjustment and when the drop is up, the switch is telling the game that it's still down.

I'll check into it. Thanks

Well I adjusted the switch down and tried to level it out along with slightly elongating the solenoid stop screw(if you have STTNG you'll know what I'm talking about. Anyway, that seems to have solved the issue for now. The switch must always have to be activated and that tells the game the drop target is actually down. Thanks schudel5 for the direction!
