Not sure if bug: Beta Quadrant ramp registers failed shot?

I don't have enough recent experience with the real table to know if this happens here. But I've noticed that, occasionally, you get scored for hitting the Beta Quadrant ramp even though the ball didn't make it all the way up.

It's particularly noticeable with Launch Probe: you get the prize for a successful launch into Beta Quadrant even when the ball falls back down the ramp.

Is this real table behavior? It may well be, but it's at least mildly surprising.

Just because it shows the animation doesn't mean it actually awards it. when you shoot for a shuttle the animation starts as soon as the entrance switch is tripped. but you will not actually get it unless it actually goes up the ramp.

after you get a shuttle from a failed shot, actually check your count. :)

what zaphod said. real machine acts the same way. also, "launch probe" might count as successful even if it doesn't make it all the way up -- that might be by design. I never pick "Launch Probe" (why would you??) so I'm not sure.
