Quoted from Zitt:Not four dots... 3.
"The Next Generation"?
During attract mode the DMD shows 4, most places on-line show either a dash or colon. I think you are right though, the TV show had 3.

Could someone with the PinBits shaker motor comment on when the motor shakes. Is it ONLY with the shield flashes? I would think it would also be the pop-bumpers like many other games. Additionally, do you think it is worth the $250 price tag?

Hello STTNG fans. I have developed my own light-up apron and made an initial run of of 10, with 5 remaining. Let me know if anyone is interested and I'll get you a copy of the install instructions.

Special thanks to Comet Pinball for help with the color change lighting I used for the stars.

Quoted from Parzival:Anyone have suggestions on where to buy a topper?
Spice up your apron area instead 
I haven't seen a lot of great toppers for STTNG, but I think Laserific's Stern ST topper can be modified to work on STTNG.

Quoted from Okarcades:Gonna take a long time to get this baby good looking again!
Not as long as you may think; this is a very well documented title when it comes to repairs. If you'd like to consider an aftermarket apron, I still have 1 left. https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/sttng-illuminated-apron-1
I also have 2 left that aren't powder-coated if you'd like to try something different.

Quoted from Zitt:Nice game, looks pretty good.
But you missed a few mods you might be interested in. (shameless plug)
STNG PopCaps
VUK dresskit
Klingon Bird of Prey WingLEDs
All great upgrades. Shameless plug for my illuminated apron too: https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/sttng-illuminated-apron-1
Have 2 powder coated ones left, and 2 you paint it kits.

Board experts, I've been having problems with F116 blowing randomly, can't seem to tie it to anything. I pulled the board assuming BR5 was bad, but it diode tested fine. BR1 on the other hand showed null for diagram 2 below, and over 1 volt when I reversed the leads. Just want to confirm this is tested properly before I order Bridges and caps.
Additionally BR4 has a previous repair, and was replaced with a 15amp instead of 35, but tests OK; should I replace this two while I have it on the bench?
Anything else to check before I pull the bridges?

Pin_Guy - Thanks for the responses. I checked voltages in attract mode, and TP1 and TP8, while not extremely low, aren't steady like the rest, so I'm thinking the caps have failed.
TP1 jumps 11.8 to 12.2
TP8 slowly goes between 15.5 & 18
Ordered some caps and bridges; wow does a Marco order add up quick!!
For being 25 years old, the board is hack-free, so I guess I can't complain.
Quoted from Zitt:Geebuz... how much is the Marco markup on that?
Zitt
I needed some other game specific items anyways. I did check both Digikey and Mouser, but due to shipping cost on a separate order all savings would have been lost.

My STTNG is moving on to a new home 
Only have so much room. I currently have (1) powder coated and (1) raw steel apron left. Without the machine to test fit-up I will not be running another batch of these, get them while you can.

Quoted from cocomonkeh:Second is the left cannon. It works fine in game but it doesn't rotate on boot sequence. No credit dots or anything.
This is a non-issue. Some cannons rotate during boot, some don't. On mine, only the right cannon rotated during boot, but both functioned fine. Don't look for an issue when there isn't one!!
