As I & others have said this is a great piece of work, so I don't want you to see this as strong criticism, just some observations that could help to improve the table.
- In the bumper region the ball has a tendency to keep going between the two top most bumpers when fed from the leftmost rollover lane and additionally, while the ball does that, it rarely pops up into one of the roll-over lanes. It feels not natural, more of a loop with sometimes up to 30+ hits before it changes course. Maybe those bumpers need an adjustment in placement or "bump" strength?
I've found this too, and it's unrealistic behaviour in these poppers - I'm sure it only needs a minor adjustment.
- Also, the ball escapes more from the bumper region at the left side of the delta quadrant ramp then to the lane at the right side (to the topmost flipper), and while it departs at the left side it's often going straight for the left outlane. This can't be really prevented even with timely nudging. I can live with the right outlane being a drain monster if you can't hit your shots right but I take exception to balls rolling there without me being a part in it, especially at that frequency.
I've experienced this too - it does also happen on the real machine a fair bit, but not as often as on this recreaction - and on the real thing it is possible to nudge it away from the outlane.
- I also have the kickback not functioning sometimes.
I switched from using a plunger to using a kicker to fix the High Speed kickback.
I've not had the kickback fail on me - but the kickback is way too weak - the ball only just makes it over the slingshot, whereas on the real thing, it fires it right up to the start mission/Q button (occasionally it'll actually fall in the start mission from kickback).
As I said these aren't meant as major criticisms, I think that as the table is so good it'd be nice to see these few issues sorted so that it plays perfectly

Dan.
