This is the reverse of Metallica for me, I was completely underwhelmed by the announcement and then I saw it and ordered on the spot. ST I ordered based on it being Ritchie and ACDC being the best game ever. I've looked at it much the same as everyone else - one and a half years to design THAT?
The speaker panel is horrific, the backbox in general looks pretty woeful. The only decent artwork package is the Enterprise Edition.
Looks like it has the following:
Kickback (Prem/LE only I think Pro probably virtual)
Moving scoop? Turns into a VUK
Warp ramp magnetised? VUK probably not powerful enough to feed all the way so maybe magnetised
Magnet under Dreadnought
Ramp goes behind backboard possibly connected underneath Dreadnought
Side rails look funky, maybe a little EL tape in the LE??
Fire button must do something, but not immediately obvious
Enterprise toy on right ramp may be hiding some mechanism?
6 main modes and 18 mini modes, sounds like a deep game, if they manage to make
24 modes different enough, that will be some going
I'm on the fence at the moment, once the official features list is out, it'll be easier to make a judgement but at a mooted £500 on top of Metallica, it seems insane. Steve Ritchie is a genius though so I'm still hopeful
