Ah, yes... Freedom Wings. Basically save everyone from Air Pirates.
But to do so, you need to upgrade that plane of yours. Or maybe even
switch to another. All upgrading is done at the shop. All parts are
bought at shops. Heck, even half the planes are purchased at shops.

So, basically, working up money to go to the ever-popular shop is
required. I can say with high certainty that you're not going to
survive liberating your first town without spending something.

This FAQ also states the exact STR. stat for each plane. Yes, I
know. You can't ever see the number directly. I had to do some
tricky observations to find this out. STR. is the Hit Points of
the plane, while DEF. is the damage reduction, just so you know.

This FAQ is more-or-less a placeholder for something more, but I
felt it was important to organize some data I had and hand it out
to you now, rather than later, when I fully finish that something.

When it comes down to it, you fly in planes. Planes are good.
You shoot down other planes with yours.

But of course, you'll need to make sure your plane is too
tough to be shot down itself. Plus, many parts are pretty
expensive, so why not restructure the plane itself?

I split this section into two parallel sets of data. On the
left are the performance charts. On the right are the costs
for the planes.

The reason it's split like this is because the abilities
depend on the plane itself, while the costs depend on the
order you get the planes in. If you get the He162A-1 as your
third plane, you won't pay the costs of the sixth plane to
upgrade it; You'll pay the third plane costs. So, if you
want to upgrade it cheaply, don't buy the other planes until
you get it!

Whether you can hold off from buying a useful plane like FR-1,
and sticking to the TBF... That's up to you, isn't it?

I hope the charts aren't too hard to read...

After doing that event where you search for a missing someone, go back
to that central island. Somewhere to the northwest, there should be
another event. After the escort lands, land in the same town, go to
the CAFE, talk around. Then go to Sorgere, the start town, and check
out the hangar. Enjoy the He162A-1!

>-< >-< >-< >-< >-< >-< >-< >-< >-< >-< >-< >-< >-< >-< >-< >-< >-< >-< >PRT64<

Ah, yes... Parts. Your plane starts out with a set of DEFAULT
parts, but they tend to be universally weak. So, you want to
buy some decent parts to go with your plane!

-Armor changes how much damage you can take.
-Power gives you more speed.
-Wings can raise maneuverability or speed, at the cost of the other.

Then there are weapons! You can have guns in one slot, and either
missiles or bombs taking up the other slot.

-Better guns is the only thing that'll raise the damage you deal.
-Bombs/missiles tend to greatly help against certain targets.

It's a bit difficult to hit enemy planes with missiles, but you
got to love it when you don't need to fire a single bullet when
you make that lucky shot with a MISSILE L.


The armor/power/wings parts don't add a specific value to your
stats. They add a percentage based on what you have. So, if you
add this nice engine that adds 20% to your power, it'll be 20% of
what you have. So, if you have 80% power, 20% of 80 is 16, so
you'll have 96% power. What? You thought you'd have 100%? Sorry,
not the case.

I've checked as hard as I could, but there are some parts that I
never got the chance to see below a certain level. Those parts
have asterisks surrounding its level. I know that, if you're at
least that level, you'll see it, but below that, I don't know.

Town - What town each item is available. A list:

a - Sorgere Islan,          , this is the start town.
b - Lembo Island,  SouthWest, first to liberate, too.
c - Solitatio Isl,      West, it comes pre-liberated.
d - Decente Islan,      West, and north-ish.
e - Cala Island,   NorthWest, way over there, I say!
f - Vettore Port,  South    , maybe a little east...
g - Conca City,    SouthEast, mountains everywhere!
h - Embargo Port,       East, slightly north
i - Pedemonte Isl, North    , last town with items...

3.1 -------------------------------- Armor ------------------------------{1pro}

Cost - GLD needed to purchase item.
Town - What town each item is available.
Lv   - Minimum level before armor is available.
Wgt. - Percent of weight change. 0% means no change.
Str. - Percent of Str change. It's your plane's HP (Hit Points)!
Def. - Percent of Defense change.

It tends to be that the armor you can buy here is not so great
when you realize you can improve your armor by restructuring,
usually at a much lower cost. Still, ALUMINUM is not a bad buy,
I say.


3.2 -------------------------------- Power ------------------------------{2spd}

Cost - GLD needed to purchase item.
Town - What town each item is available.
Lv   - Minimum level before engine is available.
Wgt. - Percent of weight change. 0% means no change.

-----------------+------+---------+--+----+----+

Ah, engines... When you need to go faster, these are here.
Don't ask why you'd want TURBO+4 when TURBIN JET+1 is
available in the same towns...
Those 4 levels aren't too hard to get, considering the prices.


3.3 --------------------------------- Wing ------------------------------{3adj}

Cost - GLD needed to purchase item.
Town - What town each item is available.
Lv   - Minimum level before wing is available.
Wgt. - Percent of weight change. 0% means no change.
Pwr. - Percent of Power change.
Mnv. - Percent of Maneuverability change.

Wing             |Cost  |Town     |Lv|Wgt.|Pwr.|Mnv.| All changes round down.
11---------------+------+---------+--+----+----+----+ So, if you change
Maneuver Wing+4  | 16000|        i|20|-25%|-25%|+15%| something by 5%, and
Maneuver Wing+3  |  9200|      ghi|12|-20%|-20%|+12%| that something is 99,

Maneuver Wing    |  1000|ab  e gh | 1|- 5%|- 5%|+ 3%| Ignore the decimal,

HiSpeed Wing     |  1000|ab d  gh | 1|+ 4%|+ 4%|- 3%|

HiSpeed Wing+4   | 15000|       hi|20|+12%|+12%|-16%|
-----------------+------+---------+--+----+----+----+

Wings! Bunches of 'em! The only "balanced" wing is the
DEFAULT wings. And since you can't buy them...
It's up to you if you want to trade away speed for turning.
Or the other way around.


3.4 ---------------------------- Arms, Primary --------------------------{4att}

Cost - GLD needed to purchase item.
Town - What town each item is available.
Lv   - Minimum level before gun is available.
Ammo - How much ammo is in those guns.
Dmg. - Damage dealt by weapons, per bullet.
RPM  - Rounds Per Minute. How many bullets it can fire in 1 minute.
DPS  - Damage Per Second. I calculated it with RPM and damage.

-----------------+------+---------+--+----+----+---+-----+

Guns. If it's more damage you want, a bigger gun is the
only thing that's going to let you dish out more damage.
I strongly recommend upgrading guns when possible.
16mmGUN will serve you quite well for that low cost.


3.5 --------------------------- Arms, Secondary -------------------------{5mag}

Cost - GLD needed to purchase item.
Town - What town each item is available.
Lv   - Minimum level before weapon is available.
Am   - How many bombs or missiles, each time you go out.
Dmg. - Damage dealt by weapons, per missile. Did not check bomb damage.

Arms, secondary  |Cost  |Town     |Lv|Am|Dmg. |

H.Missile L      |140000|        i|22|10| 90.0|
-----------------+------+---------+--+--+-----+

Notice how much weaker the H.MISSILE variety is, compared to
the normal missiles. Still, H.MISSILEs have the advantage of
being homing, and actually hitting enemy planes often.

I perfer just MISSILE-ing the ground targets. Though you
probably would have better luck with BOMBs than I did.


3.6 ------------------------------- Planes ------------------------------{6eh?}

Cost - GLD needed to purchase plane.
Town - What town available to buy it in.
Lv   - Minimum level before FR-1 is available.
Wgt. - Starting weight of plane

Okay, so I already listed the planes in the previous section.
Point is, they can be bought at shops and have level requirements.
And they do have starting stats, too. May as well re-list it here.

Current:
 .99- Your standard modifications to text.
A   - Added 7 level requirements for the parts.
    - The remaining 4 unknown levels are displayed as lowest I saw.
    - Major error fixed. Instead of charting stats and costs
      together as though they both depend on the plane, I now
      separate them. The RESTRUCTURE section should be good now.
    - Added Str. values to the armor list, and to the planes.
    - Adjusted damage ratios. All damage should appear doubled,
      as opposed to Version .80A. It's for game precision reasons.
    - re-ordered J7W (now 5th listed) and He162A-1 (now 6th).
    - Added intro text to the start of PARTS (3).

 .80- Submission as Shop FAQ. More or less a placeholder for
A     later, but I thought I should hand out what I have now.
      Data about one part of the game is better than nothing!
