Yesseree - I am the KING of pinball. Completed all the missions and made Fleet Admiral, too. As soon as I hire an agent, you may start requesting interviews.
I bet this also qualifies for the “Most Pointless and Mundane stuff” award.
Your tax money at work.....There has to be a twist…
Goodness!
How long did it take?
What’s this about Fleet Admiral?
Do you nudge the game, or just play with the paddles?
?
It ain’t pinball unless you nudge it.
I’m pretty happy with my 35 Million score, and that took a long time.
47 Million here. once you get to your first 10, the rest is just patience.
Though I am curious… what happens when you complete all missions? does the game end?
There was a “Breakout” style game making the rounds at this company I used to work for. I discovered that the ball would get “stuck” if you positioned the paddle exactly right and it would bounce off two obstacles and score a few points every bounce. Well, I stuck that sucker and left the thing running for about 3 weeks non-stop. Needless to say, I was heralded as the greatest! I had to hire security to keep the throngs of groupies from clawing their way under my desk! Well, I did let a few slip by. 
Everyone wanted to know how I got 976 million points when the best anyone could muster was about 400,000.

Oooo, I haven’t checked lately, sorry. I guess I really thought the most that could happen would be that I would be severely mocked for my lack of a life.
Anyway, it took a couple of hours, Fleet Admiral is the highest rank you can get, but the game just kept going after that.
I found that the left and right nudges actually move the ball in that direction (sometimes) - it can keep the ball out of the outside lanes.
The big trick is to learn how to fling the ball up the right side ‘hyperspace’ chute after the ball comes out of the left side ‘launch’ ramp. If you hit it just past the purple line on the board, it’ll go right back up there (with practice). THEN, if you just let it bounch off the flipper and side rebound doohickey, it will shoot straight up into the launch ramp again. Do that 4 times, and you’re eligible for an extra ball. Let the light expire, go back up there and you’re eligible again.
Pinball, as in life, is all about extra balls.
I think I only ever got to 10mil. Any more tips, other than wasting the next year of my life and failing my degree?
PS. Yay! Well done.
Nope, that’s all I got. Except maybe a do-nothing, jerk-off gov’t job, that leaves you bitter and unfulfilled.
I, of course, consider that an asset.
Oooh, a triple redundancy.
