Dependent on existing rank, your promotion will be either Captain to Lieutenant Commander or Lieutenant Commander to Commander. Completing a Cosmic Plague mission requires only one other mission (can be another Cosmic Plague) to be completed to achieve the rank of Lieutenant Commander/Commander. The order that these mission are carried out does not affect the promotion. Otherwise, a combination of the other three missions being successfully completed three times results in your promotion.
Black Hole Threat
- Event: Bottom Mission Target has been the most recently hit.
- Award: 1,000,000
You need to upgrade the Launch Bumpers, achieved by lighting up all three Launch Lane lights (located in the lower middle left region of the table). Access to this area is gained by putting the ball up the Launch Ramp. The next stage of the mission requires the Black Hole Knockout, located directly below and to the left of the Launch Ramp, to be hit, completing the mission. Should the Launch Bumpers be downgraded to base level, then the first part of the mission is required to be completed again.
Space Radiation
- Event: Middle Mission Target has been the most recently hit.
- Award: 1,000,000
You must light up all three of the Left Hazard Target Bank. The next part of the mission requires one of the three Wormholes to be entered, allowing this mission to be completed. There are no time constraints for the second part of this mission.
Stray Comet
- Event: Top Mission Target has been the most recently hit.
- Award: 1,000,000
You must light up all three of the Right Hazard Target Bank. The next part of the mission requires the ball to go to the top of the Hyperspace Chute to complete this mission. There are no time constraints for the second part of this mission.
Cosmic Plague
- Event: All three Mission Targets have been lit up. Please note: hitting another mission target will select one of the above missions!
- Award: 1,750,000
You will need to hit either of the two Flags. The first flag is located at the mouth of the Hyperspace Chute and the second flag is located at the top of the Fuel Chute (near the top of the table on the left hand side). There is a flag hit counter which starts at 75 and counts down to zero. Getting the counter down to zero completes the first part of the mission. You are then required to get the ball to touch the Space Warp Rollover, located below the solitary Attack Bumper, to ensure the mission is successfully completed.
