No limit bonus:
Complete over 100 sorties with a greater than 90% win record and an over all
rating of 98% or more. Unlimited leg weight points, core weight points, and
generator output points will be allowed. Note: Ignore the overweight warning.
Death bonuses:
Intentionally die with less than -50,000 credits. The game will restart from
the first level with all items gained in the previous game. Your pilot name will
change to "Rebel" followed by three random numbers to confirm correct
code entry. The first time this is done, the radar will become a grid system and
will detect incoming missiles. The fourth time this is done, the rear weapon may
be fired while in motion. The sixth time that this is done, available energy
will be doubled. Additionally, a ball may be fired from the laserblade by firing
the blade, then pressing Jump.
Hint: Sword wave:
Draw your sword and press X (jump) just before the downslash. If done
correctly, you will fire the fabled "wave" that all of the higher
ranked ACs use. To fire the "blue wave of mass destruction", simply do
this trick with the Moonlight blade. It can do over 1000 AP worth of damage.
