My all time favorite game, and I've played a lot! Shots, flow, rules. sounds and music all top notch. A true Steve Ritchie classic!

I didn’t like this game before I became a collector. Now I do. I think I was too unfamiliar with the feel of widebodies. They shoot differently, with more space and shot variety, at least on this game. Excellent layout, possibly Richie’s best ever. Fun shots, cool ramps and wireforms. Modes are distinct, and the music and callouts are immersive. How you feel about the art depends how much you like this hand-drawn style. It’s not bad, the playfield looks pretty good. I’m not a fan of the translite, but there are alternates. I finally own one of these now, a nice example. I’m learning more and more about it, and I understand the appeal now.

Being a huge Trekkie this game was a no brained for me. The laser cannons anthe Picard manuver offer some difficult shots and Picardy opening monologue is
Perfect. This is a really fun game!!

Have had this for over a year now, so can adequately put a review in.
What else to say about this, a work of art by the Master Steve Ritchie. Just an amazingly fun game, that is both super deep; and just pulse pounding exciting. So many different ways to play this; I've played it close to 800 times in a year, and it gets better each time I play it.
Outlanes can be tough; but you can adjust kickback setting, I keep it at hard because the game is more fun that way to me. Excellent them integration; I'm not a trekkie; so really didn't think I would dig the pin; but with a color DMD and Flipper Fidelity speakers, this is a true treat to play.
It's fully dialed in; and that is a must; as that right flipper ramp shot into the ship ball lock, is just so damn satisfying.
One negative, might be the reliance on the right scoop straight ahead to start modes; but once you lock in the shots, this has flow for days; best flowing wide body I have every played...A huge thumbs up and really shows that B/W and SR are the kings of Pin.

Fun mode based pin with quite a bit to do. Modes are pretty fun and collecting the artifacts is good incentive to play them. Cool layout and fun shots. The side ramp is super satisfying and is probably the best side ramp in pinball. Overall a fun mode based pin.

really fun widebody pin. plenty of shots, and very satisfying when you hit them. i love the sound as it reacts to the player, and always a rush to loop the ball around. nice fast widebody with a fun theme! i want one

Star Trek is an awesome pin that really feels like it was ahead of its time. My one major complaint are the dreaded outlanes as I often feel cheated when I am playing well and without warning the ball drains and there's no way I could have avoided it. However, everything else really stands out, the sound, the feel, the rule set. Great pin.

Love the cannon and wide body. Didn't like that the video game mode was always the same pattern and could be memorized. Overall a great pin though as of late find myself not playing it much now that I have newer pins...
