Modes
General Mode Strategy
Shoot the matching colored shots for the modes to earn points and advance. Combos will double points that would’ve been earned. Once you hit one mode shot, you can shoot the ‘Away Team’ shot (under the upper flipper), which adds 20 seconds and changes the primary objective of the mode to some specific shots. Usually, it’s a pretty good idea to do so as the shots become much more valuable.
When a mode ends, start another mode (or restart the mode) by shooting the Mission Start (far left eject hole) or the Away Team (under the upper flipper) shots and then choosing a mode.
It’s always a good idea to hold off starting a multiball until JUST after you’ve started a mode. This allows you to stack the mode with a multiball. If the third lock is lit at the left eject hole when Mission Start is also lit, then you will be able to choose a mode and immediately start Klingon multiball.
Mode Levels
Each of the six colored hexagon modes has four versions with unique scoring rules and shot placement.Level I modes are the default “starting” modes, operating on a timer. When time runs out, all shots light to collect one single “final shot” and complete the mode (draining during “final shot” sequence also completes the mode).
Each Level I mode may be advanced to Galactic Mode for improved scoring and alternate objectives. To begin Galactic Mode, first shoot any lit mode shot, then shoot the “Away Team” rollover (underneath the upper right flipper). The mode timer from Level I continues with an additional 20 seconds added. Galactic Mode may be started after any number of mode shots have been completed as long as the timer has not run out. Draining during a Galactic Mode will end the mode with the current medal status. Galactic Modes are only available during Level I modes.
Level II modes may only be started after completing their respective Level I (or Galactic) mode. Level II modes feature two kinds of lit shots: regular-color arrows, which award mode points and advance toward bronze medal awards; and multi-color arrows, which award double mode points and count towards silver and gold medal awards. The Level II mode will end and be marked complete when a certain number of total shots are made (as described per mode); if the ball drains or the timer runs out, the mode exits and may be re-started later, with progress saved.
Level III modes may only be started after completing their respective Level II mode. Level III modes operate similarly to Level II modes, but with improved scoring. Completing a Level III mode will light one particular shot on the playfield for double scoring for the rest of the game. In this case, the combo arrow for the shot lights permanently, effectively replacing 2x combo scoring.
Mode Scoring
Each shot in a mode has a base value of 100K x level + shot bonus + streak bonus + 30K x shots made in the current mode. The shot bonus and streak bonus both start at 0, and each shot made increases the shot bonus by 5K and the streak bonus by 10K. On the first attempt at each level II or level III mode, the increase is multiplied by the level. The shot bonus carries over throughout the entire game, while the streak bonus resets at the end of each ball.
For example, suppose a player starts a new game, starts a level I mode, makes 2 shots, drains, then makes another shot on ball 2.
- The 1st shot is worth 100K x 1 (level) + 0 (shot bonus) + 0 (streak bonus) + 30K x 0 (shots made in the current mode) = 100K. The shot bonus becomes 5K and the streak bonus becomes 10K.
- The 2nd shot is worth 100K + 1 (level) + 5K (shot bonus) + 10K (streak bonus) + 30K x 1 (shots made in the current mode) = 145K. The shot bonus becomes 10K and the streak bonus becomes 20K.
- Upon draining, the streak bonus resets to 0.
- The 3rd shot is then worth 100K + 1 (level) + 5K (shot bonus) + 0 (streak bonus) + 30K x 2 (shots made in the current mode) = 180K The shot bonus becomes 15K and the streak bonus becomes 10K.

Medals
Medals (and points) are awarded for how well you play each mode (bronze/silver/gold). After completing all modes a “medal bonus collect/jackpot” is awarded when you start the mini wizard mode. This value can be doubled if 2x is running. Medals accrue and are never replaced, thus earning a Silver Medal also leaves you holding a Bronze.
The first bronze medal is worth 250k, with each subsequent bronze worth +125k more.
The first silver medal is worth 450k, with each subsequent silver worth +175k more.
The first gold medal is worth 1000k, with each subsequent gold worth +275k more.
For All Level One modes:
To earn bronze, you need three shots.
To earn silver, you need six shots.
To earn gold, you need nine shots.
Unless you make the Galactic Away Team shot. In GAT, there are fewer shots available that are worth more points.
Special Case: For Space Jump, making the GAT shot leaves only the Vengeance shot available as the last shot. Making it will give the the next higher medal award automatically, and the mode ends. However, this does mean if you shoot the GAT shot before getting a silver medal, you can’t get the gold medal for that mode.
Medal values double if you combo into the shot that gives you the medal. For example: Comboing into the third shot will give you double the value for the bronze medal. This value will be doubled again if you have Double Scoring running. Example: I have received a Gold Medal worth 8.4 Million points.
Level Two and Three modes: Now things start to get real. To medal, you can’t just make any shots. You need to make the correct, better shots that are indicated by the multi-color arrows. Making incorrect shots may lock you out of better medals.
Special Case #2: Klingon Multiball
If you collect the Double Super Jackpot you will also receive a single, gold medal.
Captain's Chair and Level 3 Completion
Captain’s Chair:
Completing three same-level modes in a line enables the Captain’s Chair.
| Left Side | Super Pops | ||
| Right Side | Super Ramps | ||
| Bottom Side | Super Spinner |
Captain’s Chair remains live until completed, it remains active across balls. You can only get Captain’s Chair once per rack, but if you finish two at the same time, you will get both awards.
Level 3 Completion:
Completing the Level 3 Mode of any of the 6 Modes will award a 2X Shot Multiplier for the remainder of the game.
| Mode | 2X Shot | |
|---|---|---|
| Prime Directive | Left Scoop | |
| Space Jump | Right Orbit | |
| Save the Enterprise | Right Ramp | |
| Nero | Left Orbit | |
| Destroy the Drill | Warp Ramp | |
| Klingon Battle | Left Ramp |
Warp Ramp Awards
| Warp Level | # of Shots | Award |
|---|---|---|
| Warp 4 | 7 | Extra Ball |
| Warp 9.1 | 10 | 2X Scoring for 60 Seconds |
| Warp 9.9 | 18 | 2X Scoring for 60 Seconds AND Adds a 2nd Ball into Single Ball Play |
Note: Though additional extra balls cannot be earned, double scoring and ball into play can be earned again.
Multiball Add-A-Ball
The black hole shot to the right of Vengeance will award add-a-ball once during multiball when it is lit. Light it by shooting the ‘red matter’ targets around the playfield that you’ve ultimately hit plenty of times cause you’re bad and you missed the ramps and loops.
Klingon Multiball
Complete the 3 green standups light locks at Vengeance and left scoop. Lock 3 balls to start Klingon Multiball.
For the first Klingon MB, each completion of the standups will light 2 locks, one at the left scoop and one at the Vengeance, and lit locks can be stacked. It is possible to light up to 6 locks, 3 at each shot, but Klingon MB will start upon locking the 3rd ball and any remaining locks do not carry over. The standups are disabled when all 6 locks are lit or when 2 balls have been locked and both shots have a lock lit.
Once Klingon MB has been played, each completion will only light 1 lock, and the standups are disabled when both shots have a lock lit.
Upon starting Klingon MB, all shots are lit for jackpots, starting at 200K with a 175K increment. The 7th jackpot is a Super Jackpot worth 6.25 Million; 14th jackpot is another Super Jackpot worth 10 Million. This is followed by a traveling Double Jackpot worth 4 Million. Finally, the warp ramp will light for a Double Super Jackpot worth 20 Million. Collecting this Double Super Jackpot will also award a gold medal. Then the multiball mode repeats.
Other multiballs include Vengeance Multiball, Kobayashi Maru, Enterprise Amok, and Five Year Mission all described below.
Vengeance Modes
Hit Vengeance X number of times (or use torpedoes) to light Vengeance Mode
Torpedos
Torpedo standups when completed add 3 torpedoes. Torpedoes accumulated are shown by the line of yellow triangles on the playfield and can be used by pressing the fire button to score Vengeance hits. Torpedoes will not award mode shots.
Vengeance Multiball
Vengeance mode 1 is “Vengeance Multiball.” Hit the magnet-held ball at multiball start to add a ball (upgrading from 2-ball to 3-ball play) and extend ball save time. Shots to Vengeance and lit white shots do damage and award points. Defeating Vengeance awards 5M after completing 10 shots and then shooting the Vengeance. Photon torpedoes can be used to complete shots except for the final shot.
Vengeance Scoring
Vengeance mode 2 is “Vengeance Scoring” which is a hurry up mode - 5 shots to destroy Vengeance - destroying Vengeance awards an extra ball.
Vengeance Battle
Vengeance mode 3 is “Vengeance Battle.” Shoot the Vengeance 5 times to raise the drop target. Shooting the drop target down gives you a very limited time to shoot the Vengeance for 10% of total score (or 10M, whichever is greater). If time runs out, the drop target with re-raise and you must hit it again to lower it.10% value is affected by combo (20%) and/or double scoring (up to 40%)
Wizard Modes
Kobayashi Maru

Once all level one modes have been completed, the Vengeance shot will light white for Kobayashi Maru. Starting Kobayashi Maru will immediately award you medal bonuses based on all medals collected so far. Then it is a 2-ball multiball with all shots lit except the Warp ramp. Each shot requires 2 shots to clear it out - first shot is nominal points (500K to start); the second shot scores based on your performance in the corresponding level 1 mode (color coding tells you which mode). Clearing them all out allows you to continue in single ball play even though you have 2 balls (or more with add-a-ball) active on the playfield. Shots in this mode max at 7.5M.
Enterprise Amok
Started by completing all level 2 modes
| Medal Bonus | |||

Once all level two modes have been completed, the Vengeance shot will light white for Enterprise Amok. Starting Enterprise Amok will immediately award you medal bonuses based on all medals collected so far. This begins as a 2-ball multiball with all shots lit and a switch hit counter on the display. Completing the number of switch hits required will add a ball into play (except for the 6th and final round) and light all shots white for a final shot. The next shot hit will then be unlit for future final shots in the mode and will start a new higher switch hit requirement. After completing the 6th and final round, the Vengeance shot will be lit for a Super Jackpot. Completing this final shot allows you to continue in single ball play even though you have more than one ball active on the playfield.
