[QUOTE="vikingerik, post: 114699, member: 3745"] This is an amazing tip. Yes, for just about any ball coming out of the bumpers, ignore the upper flipper and you can dead-pass to a catch on the lower left for another lock shot. My first game doing that doubled my high score from 37B to 74B. Two games later, I doubled that again to 149B. The jackpot value was at 600M by the end of the game so supers were 1.8B. Final Frontier scoring can't remotely keep up with that. I had one FF in that game which scored about 5 billion, compared to Borg MB scoring well over 10B multiple times. Also, try to avoid warp factors. You want to avoid holding the bonus multiplier so you can reach 8x again on each new ball for another EB. One more tip: For a ball coming out of the Borg ship during multiball, just hold the right flipper. Usually the ball will bounce off the slings and slowly up the left orbit into the bumpers. Which means you get another Super Jackpot shot coming out of the bumpers. Which feeds the Borg ship again, rinse and repeat. I hit five supers in a row that way while holding the other ball on the left flipper. [/QUOTE]
