Perusing the operator's manual, I don't see a setting to control "Special first, then 50K" or reverse order on ORBS. I don't remember the actual sequence on the real Centaur I played last week, but it seems to me that it should be (as you say) Special first and then 50K afterwards, but at least...
The bug, clarified
Okay, I think I've got it.
Both Specials award Replays, not Extra Balls (contrary to the table instructions). These Specials are accompanied by the expected solenoid knock sound.
Crossing 1,400,000 points awards an Extra Ball, but is not accompanied by the knock.
Not...
I stand (sit) corrected. Centaur does not carry credits from one game to the next, period. If you remain on the Centaur game screen, pressing "Start" starts a new game and credits go to 0.
Centaur's Instructions (as written by FS) state "The only way to earn Extra Balls on this table is by earning Specials." Details on how to obtain both Specials are then provided.
The Chamber Special does award an extra ball. But the ORBS Special does not award an EB, it awards a Replay (free...
I love Centaur's fantasy biker/metal theme, artwork, color scheme (almost all of the color comes from lights), background "music", call outs, insults, reverb, crunchy drop target sounds, the end-of-ball bonus light show and sounds when you've got 79K (FS missed the "completeness" of this sound...
If you're talking about the area immediately in front of the right-hand Release target, there's a magnet under the field that holds the ball there for a few seconds while you collect bonus (because you hit the target when the Collect Bonus arrow was lit).
Is that the vibrating ball you're...
Yep, it's a bug alright - actually, two bugs
Ah ha ha ha, that's funny! Okay, not really :)
The Attendant, when called, takes the captive ball from the Queen's Chamber and drops it in the plunger lane!
Same bug reported here: http://digitalpinballfans.com/showthread.php/4563-Call-Attendant...
That would be the 3 replays given because you beat the High Score To Date, which is always 0 when you start Centaur from the Table Select screen. Try immediately starting another game without exiting the table and getting a lower score; you shouldn't get the 3 credits then.
I followed your steps to reproduce, but am not seeing your bug. Touch Scheme A, Show Touch Scheme On, Button Position 45%, played, quit table, force-closed TPA, restarted TPA, played Star Trek; I'm not seeing the "flip + button action" combo (my Warp 4 selection is what ends up in play).

Velly intellesting! I noticed that diagonal nudges tilted Genie with one touch earlier today but was waiting until the flurry of new posts slowed down to report it... but now I tried CP and Genie and they're just fine, keeping in mind that diagonal nudges are more severe than single-axis...
MM bug 05-015 as seen in MM's Master Issues List still exists (Troll bombs are used during any kill-a-troll mode whenever you nudge).
Also, MB's similar bug still exists (see http://digitalpinballfans.com/showthread.php/4365-Monster-Bombs-buggy-just-like-MM-s-Troll-Bombs for details; Sean...
Woohoo! :) I knew my TOM was good (woulda made Grand Finale in a few more Midnight shots), but thought my Space Shuttle and Gorgar scores were just okay.
It really makes a difference not using the extra balls! Deliberately changing away from the EB/Special shuttle awards, not going for...
