Star Wars: Death Star Assault (Ultimate Pro 1.06) - Epic Space Battles!
The wait is over! The most EPIC Star Wars table you have ever seen is here! SLAMT1LT's classic table has not only been given an excellent Ultimate Pro update... but now it has been given an EPIC update with TerryRed's "Epic Space Battles" mod, which uses new BAM features to create a virtual pinball table experience you have never seen before.
You will literally see a fully animated galactic space battle take place on the playfield with new spaceships, turbo laser cannon, lasers and explosions. You also have the honour of the presence of the Dark Lord himself! A new fully animated Darth Vader is on the playfield who will react to table events... and even dance to the Disco music during the Game Over / Attract mode!
REQUIREMENTS:
- you MUST have the latest BAM installed (1.5-301 or higher when this was posted). Don't forget to update BAM Open VR if you are playing in VR. You can get them both here:
pinballnirvana.com
- Future Pinball and BAM MUST be setup "correctly". You can use my MEGA guide here to help you do that the easy way:
It would be a good idea to also update your Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019, as BAM plug-ins do use this. You need both x86 and x64 versions.
Table features:
- animated R2-D2 that moves around on the table and shows holograms to give hints on gameplay
- animated Death Star
- animated Lightsabers that will clash and fight depending on who is winning with Bonus Totals (Jedi or Sith)
- choose your Lightsaber colour (during Attract mode)
- choose your Backglass art (during Attract mode)
- full Star Wars soundtrack that changes to gameplay events to give it that blockbuster feel
- huge amount of Star Wars sound effects and voice overs that will blow you away
- "The Force" magnet that will automatically save your ball on the right outerlane if you are a Jedi!
- normal / bump mapping on toys, bumpers, and sidewall art
- fantastic lightshow thanks to FP and BAM's real per-pixel lighting
- fast paced gameplay that nevers lets up
- SOLO mini game
- NEW Time Attack Mode!
New "Epic Space Battles" features:
- Darth Vader: fully animated and reacts to table events and even dances to Disco!
- New toys: X-Wing, Tie Fighter, Millenium Falcon, Turbo Laser Cannon, Vader Tie Fighter
- all ships will hover in place when not doing anything
- X-Wing and Tie Fighters will rotate and fire lasers at each other
- X-Wing will fire lasers at escaping Tie Fighter and destroy it. Another Tie Fighter will fly in to replace it
- Vader's Tie Fighter will fire lasers at escaping X-Wing and destroy it. Another X-Wing will fly in to replace it
- turbo laser will fire and animate with each bumper hit
- all animated sequences have lasers and explosions will real lighting that moves across the playfield. Looks amazing!
- more Lightsaber colours to choose from (blue, green, purple, yellow, orange)
- new static Camera view for Desktop mode that gives a much better stationary view
Virtual Reality: for those of you lucky enough to be able to play FP-BAM in VR properly (nice and smooth,etc)... you will be blown away at what you will see in VR!

Fuzzel: Vader Tie Fighter, X-Wing, and Turbo Laser Cannon models
Steve Paradis: R2-D2 model

Gimli and TerryRed: Darth Vader model conversion and animation
BIG Thanks and shout-outs:
- thanks to SLAMT1LT for his passion in this hobby and continuing to make the kind of tables I and many others enjoy. These tables are top tier quality and simply kick ass!
- Fuzzel for allowing the use of his excellent Vader Tie Fighter, X-Wing, and Turbo Laser models.
- ravarcade for continuing to amaze us with new features added to BAM and his excellent support. Tables and mods like this wouldn't be possible without you!
- Gimli for help getting Darth Vader converted and animated properly!
- Wild for his great Death Star (and previous X-Wing)
- Steve Paradis for the very cool R2-D2 that still looks great all these years later (only better now that he can move around thanks to BAM)
- Matt Ellis for the original Sci-Fi Classic table layout many years ago
- Chris Leathly for Future Pinball. I hope you get to see what your program has been able to do all these years later.
- SLAMT1LT, Gimli, GeorgeH, wild, Steve Paradis, ravarcade, and all the others that continue to support and enjoy FP-BAM and all it has to offer
Cabinet users, DMD, POV, DOF and PuP:
- the included CFG file goes into your "BAM \ CFG" folder and needs to be named the same as the table. This will give cabinet users a proper POV that is ready to go!
- Real DMD (FP Intercept) and LCD DMD (FutureDMD) users, will need to edit the table and change the Translite DMD from 128x16 to 128x32 in order for the FP DMD to display on your DMDs
- this table has NOT been updated for PinEvent (DOF and PUP) yet.
- PinEvent is coming next... so watch out for even more explosive lighting and feedback, and an awesome modern video backglass and DMD display.
Desktop Users:
- this table only needs FP and BAM installed and updated, and setup properly to run.
