[QUOTE="JefferyD, post: 150436, member: 2597"] Okay, I didn't believe you, but I was wrong. Star Trek is bruuutal. I finally broke down and bought it so I could participate in the tournament, but I'd need a month of non-stop play to get a handle on this thing. My first 100 or so games on Firepower didn't amount to a grand total of five minutes, but I think Star Trek is even meaner than that. Just by depth and breadth of the rule set there are so many ways to feel completely overwhelmed. No matter which of the goals I'm chasing, the ball slams down the left outlane before I even know it's heading in that direction. I don't think I've completed a single mission successfully. Total Federation washout. On all the tables where I have the option, I change the settings to hard or extra hard with no extra balls, because I generally don't have more than ten or fifteen minutes to burn goofing around on the iPad; on Star Trek I've set it to 5 ball, leaving it on medium difficulty, with deep consideration of changing the difficulty to easy. That's how bad it's making me feel. I've looked for a setting to stuff a sock into that left outlane, but Farsight has underperformed and forgotten to include it. I'm studying all of the tips here and hope that this horrid horrid table can be tamed... because I really like it. [/QUOTE]
