We played this in league the other night and I thought I noticed a “Danger -through” Has anyone observed this behavior?
Yes, it happened at INDISC. Scott mentioned on pinside that he is going to add logic to avoid this.

I have a theory it just wants to “hold” a bunch of reserve dangers for later and then just fire them off ~10 seconds later at seemingly random intervals. 
Looks like there will be a TNA at my house for league next weekend. I’m going to try inverting the tilt bob to prevent those 10+ second late danger-throughs. It would take an exploitable amount of software debounce to stop those. Fix has to be physical.
Or the ear plug mod

I’ve seen the danger through on both the machines that are on location in Portland.
Will the a-level tournament strat be to immediately light outlane ball save and immediately relight it (during ball save) when it’s used? Or is the game too difficult for even pros to make this viable?
Lighting ball save is not an easy task. Using your ball save time for good and not for evil is very important! Also, ball save time during multiball doesn’t stop when a ball drains…

The Reactor Value can be increased at any time before destroying it.
To clarify, even once the reactor has gone critical, it is still possible to increase its value with the spinner and upper “reactor” slings and targets up to a predetermined “max value” available for each reactor?
Assuming the answer is “yes”, what happens/do you get for continuing to hit those switches after max value has been achieved?
I noticed I received a “Max. Reactor Value” after hitting all three of the upper right arrow targets in the reactor. Can the max value be achieved with say, the spinner as well, or do you have to hit the upper arrow targets?
Thx, amazing game!
Yes.
Nada. Except you probably get 10 or 100 points per switch or something.
Not the spinner, but you can max it out via reactor slingshot switches. That was the only way to do it before Scott recently added the 1-2-3 thing.
Turns out, yes! I was wrong in the previous post.
This worked like a champ, BTW.

Finally gotten a chance to play this, and it’s incredible. Just ordered one for my office.
One bit of feedback: I wanna see the amount of points scored for a reactor being destroyed when it happens. I’ve watched while others play and it seems like there’s a display effect for “Reactor Destroyed”, and then the point total would come next, but is often overridden by something else.

You might consider posting this to the over on pinside on the TNA owners thread. Scott is very engaged with the community about his game and very receptive to feedback.
You posted that within hours of it coming true in the new software version.

Does destroying the 9th reactor end the game completely? I watched the IE pinball video, and couldn’t tell if the flippers died after 9 or not.
