Table of the Week Club...Week 49: STARSHIP TROOPERS

[shutyertrap]

I know what you're saying about control. Just when I think I've figured out how to get the shots I want, one rogue bounce and it all goes to pot. Sometimes I get the rhythm of the ramps, other times they elude me completely. Hitting the recon scoop is extremely inconsistent for me, and shooting for it is the source of most of my drains it seems. I have figured out how to use the mini flipper to gain some ball control, but if I wasn't using a controller I don't know how I'd manage.

So I got my 5xplanet multi-ball, and my Klendathu, and for some reason my stream decided to cut right through the middle of it. Still, I did it! I'll have to get a play-through of it on you-tube another time though.

I always loved this table. I see and feel it's weaknesses, but somehow I like it very much.

I always hated dr. Dude with a vengeance but then really applied myself to it, and learned to appreciate it more. Maybe I can lean how to do that with SST. Would be a nice topic in itself: tables you started out hating and then learned to appreciate.

I can answer that right now. I didn't 'get' RBION. I played the crap out of ToM and TotAN, and then the next 2 table packs as they were released. Then I got bored with those and decided to actually read the rules to RBION. It's now in my top 3 tables of TPA. So yeah, it's amazing what being forced to focus on a table can do for it. Or at least sometimes.

Have to work more with this table, it's a frustrating table. Missing and forgetting about the small red flipper makes feel like Sideshow Bob stepping on a rake.

I'll keep working at it, HS is only a little over 246mil.

That was good.
