Modification of the Beta Quadrant
shuttle, the Borg ship, the Romulan ship, and the Klingon Bird-of-Prey.
You can now purchase your own version of these modifications! I have listed the prices for doing these modifications on the Modification Page (click link above), but to summarize:
* Lighted Beta Quadrant Shuttle is $50.00 with trade-in (you send me your shuttle). Sorry, I have been unable to find ANY replacement shuttles, so I can only do modifications of a shuttle you send me.
* Realistic Borg Ship is $50.00 with trade-in (send me your Borg ship), or $100.00 without trade-in. The reason for the price differentials is that these Borg Ships are getting EXTREMELY hard to find.
* Romulan ship with a realistic paint job and lighting as well. Modified Romulan Ship is $50.00 with trade-in (you send me your old Romulan ship) or $70.00 without trade.
* Klingon BOP - actually a Hallmark ornament with added lighting under wings, realistic paint job, and red LED gun tips. Hallmark Klingon ship is $40.00 with trade-in (you send me the Hallmark ship) or $70.00 without trade. I can also rework your NOS Klingon BOP with almost the same effects as the Hallmark version. NOS Klingon ship is $50.00 with trade (send me your old Klingon ship) or $70.00 without trade.
* Cannon covers, with highlighted paint job and 3D domes installed. Actually you can do this one yourself by looking below!

Secret Mission: When the computer announces
"Holodeck 3 is ready", pull the trigger 3 times. This
will start a "Secret Mission" which will keep score on its own independent
of what-ever else is going on at the time (other mission, etc.) It
runs about 30 seconds and "secretly" adds the total to your overall
score. There is no specific mention of this either in the manual
or during the collection of bonus at the end of the ball.
