[QUOTE="MWink, post: 197595, member: 1979"] I always go for Warp 4 on the first ball. Later, (especially after reaching Warp 9) I will go for either 'start mission' or 'lock'. It varies depending on how many balls I have left and how close I am to Final Frontier or multi-ball. I usually favor Final Frontier because I'm an artifact hog. I admit, this may not be the most efficient way to score but it's how I usually play (and I've managed a top score of 47 billion). I do agree with some of the comments Slam23 made. Final Frontier can be buggy. I've encountered the camera bug a few times, as well as a ROM crash. I've also had the ROM crash at least once while NOT in Final Frontier mode. The point about hold multiplier potentially costing an extra ball is also good. A few more suggestions to help get high scores... Try to start Borg multi-ball while Q's Challenge is running. They stack and it stops Q's timer, so that can lead to huge scoring. Doing this, I've managed 1.7 billion from Q's Challenge alone. Also, if you can complete the Shuttle Simulation, always pick it from the Holodeck. It's usually good for 159M + an artifact. Poker may be fun but it's not worth much. Even best case (beating Riker with a royal flush) it's only worth 75M. I hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
