Fantastic light (two sets of general illumination lamps means the whole table can go green when multiball is activated!) and sound sequences, lovely long shots, and delightfully straightforward play, at least in Pro Mode, where you don't have to bother with going for Extra Ball awards from the complicated multi-bank target system: instead, just shoot the upper right trap, light 1-2-3 on the top rollovers to activate a lock lane for multiball, get multiball going, and repeat!
No skill shot on the table so I turned off the uh Williams action cam or whatever it's called.
The ball can sneak around the upper side of the pop-up target blocking the right lane, for instance from the left outlane kickback (56:35); it's a little hard to tell what's happening in real-time, almost feels like the ball went through the pop-up; but I'm not sure it's possible to have enough speed left on the ball to get all the way up the ramp after sneaking by the pop-up.
The pause menu table guide doesn't mention the lower-right spot target. (It toggles between randomizing Shuttle or Station rewards, according to the (player-created?) guide linked from Zen's site --https://zensite.wpenginepowered.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/WP-Space-Station-Pinball-Guide-by-ShoryukenToTheChin.pdf .)
The pause menu table guide is very unclear on how to light locks for multiball. (You light 1-2-3 on the top rollovers.)
The Zen-linked (from https://zenstudios.com/pinball-table-guides/ ) ShoryukenToTheChin guide says lock is lit for multiball when the game starts; that's true for Classic mode, but in Pro mode, lock is NOT lit when the table starts (this feels appropriate for Pro mode so I'm guessing this is a limitation of the STTC guide, not covering Pro mode set-up). (The STTC guide says it's for PBFX3, but Googling suggests Pro Mode existed in 3, although I'm not sure it worked the same way for this table.)
In attract mode during Pro mode, the score display says "Extra Ball at 1,900,000"; I didn't reach that score to be able to say, but generally Pro mode doesn't award extra balls, so that message may not apply. This may be a shortcoming of the way Pro mode seems to operate outside of table dip switch settings.
