I apologise for such a rookie question. Star Trek: The Next Generation is my first game and I just got it a week ago. When I LAUNCH PROBE and I get the ALPHA QUADRANT shot with the right cannon, the shot is impossible and the ball always hits the right habitrail. I can't see any obvious way to adjust the wireform, so I checked the coil.

The coil in the right cannon is a factory AE 23-800. Based on this chart, the resistance should be about 4.2Ω. Mine reads around 3.3Ω. Is that enough of a difference that the ball would be flying out faster and stay higher for longer?

It sort of seems obvious to me that this is the problem. Am I missing something else?

You may want to post this question in the next generation owners thread. Lots of good people with answers there

Im not sure on the coil strength, butI'm wondering if your spiral ramp is aligned correctly.

After adjusting the bracket so the loop habitrail bracket is above the straight habitrail bracket I notice the DELTA RAMP post (02-4934) was bodged together with two spacers. I adjusted those to raise the habitrail and now everything works great.
