R-Type: Final 2 stuffs

Making a combat roster of what to find while flying. This mission will be recon by two sexy girls (lol)
(A-C1) and (J-F2)
Time to fly again!

---

This objective? To tell what area gives off the most resources because now in R-Type Final 2, pilots actually have to put in effort, passwords, and currency to get new fighters instead of simply cruise control and passwords alone this time! This is a bit tricky because I think cases change the payout depending on how experienced someone is now (yes this time pilots along with their ranks also level up too!) I also believe the first time a stage is cleared, it has high yield, but the later on and more runs done, the less generous things get.

Hint: I believe some notes from the not-so-popular R-Type Tactics 2: Bitter Chocolate mission does have some kinds of leads to how to find some of the minerals such as saying Subspace areas which are difficult to find are the best chance for the super-scarce Etherium!

For this sample, A-C1 is the more experienced (and in the update will take on normal+), while her friend J-F2 is still fairly new (and will stick with the easiest level for speedy results).

(update: difficulty does affect the prizes gained multiplier...)

Anyway...

A-C1 : "There's over 13 areas to fly this time! But, I heard there will be more?"
J-F2 : R-Points are based off performance in a stage! Longer means more points, and 1st time is a lot!
*both girls: "Sorry, we're testing this on lowest difficulty!"

Stats will be as R (R-Points Currency), S (Solarium), E (Etherium), and B (Bydogen)

A-C1 : R = (almost 647 on no miss), S = 110 (E), 121 (N), E = 10(E), 11(N), B = 30(E), 33(N)
*seems we're even
"If you face off as a Bydo, you will be chased by the angry watcher... if you face-off as a R-Typer, then you'll see a familiar face and this time he/she won't be frozen anymore."

St 2.0: Bydo Garden Base
Boss: Twin Yatebeolox Harvester mobile plant containers
Beginner Bonus -
J-F2 : R = (almost ??? on no miss), S = 50, E = 20, B = 80!

Veteran Bonus -
A-C1 : R = (almost 727 on no miss), S = 55, E = 22, B = 88!
"Ugh, really you two have to leave tentacles around? Oh my... I'll just use the chaser-type Force or Yellow-type weapon to clean those up, don't touch me!! "

A-C1 : R = (almost ??? on no miss), S = 55, E = 88, B = 22
"Well here we are, a third giant battleship boss' core, and this one's a lot more compact than the last two models... have to watch out for that tri-beam and getting flanked from behind and the front too... pesky small target... also, Happy Days seems quite lethal for this opponent were he to come across me using it... "

St 4.0: Bydo Ruins
Boss: Lilil Prototype Huge Blast Furnace
Beginner Bonus -
J-F2 : R = (almost ??? on no miss), S = 40, E = 40, B = 70
"There's a lot going on around in here... I think I better start using the Force Dose attacks now! Easy to get flanked almost everywhere, and hitting some enemies from behind is a pain! I should bring a chaser-Force for better results...."

Veteran Bonus -
A-C1 : R = (almost 1363 on no miss), S = 44, E = 44, B = 77
"Hard area? Easy boss... All I have to do is position my Force in a pincer formation and hit him in the eye. Have to watch out for the dual Jetsoning Afterburner though... and the slimes he drops."

"Another easy opponent, you seem familiar to a certain challenger from planet Darius with quite a legion you've got there, except you don't have any ranged attacks. I'll just let you chase me, but my Force will chase you!   "

Boss: Mabosterbern the Bydo Coral Bigcore!
Beginner Bonus -
J-F2 : R = (almost ??? on no miss), S = ??, E = ??, B = ??
"Why does this boss resemble a Bigcore? The coral tentacles though are really annoying, they keep respawning and he surrounds me in a corner with 'em! "

Veteran Bonus -
A-C1 : R = (almost 1104 on no miss), S = 50, E = 30, B = 70
"The Turret Wheels are back and are tricky to navigate through, using a Shock W. Cannon or Mini-Burst W. Cannon will be very helpful attacking through them to destroy the cores. Nice music here though."

A-C1 : R = (almost 1789 on no miss), S = 30, E = 100, B = 20
"The -safest- area to finding high amounts of Etherium even if not the most of all. Keep an eye out of the Pow-Armor Ambushes but take advantage of the loot, and watch your back because the boss attacks (and can only be attacked as well) from behind! Destroy the core!"

Veteran Bonus -
A-C1 : R = (almost 1001 on no miss), S = 60, E = 60, B = 60
"Hey! The first boss of Delta this time has a twin! Watch your back if you thought the one in the front was done, your mission is far from over! (That didn't happen in the original!?!)"

Veteran Bonus -
A-C1 : R = (almost ??? on no miss), S = 60, E = 60, B = 60
"This entire area even around the start is technically a Dreadnought Chase, don't let his detachable parts befuddle you or that will be painful! The Boss Ship's core is still a bit small but can easily be taken down compared to the one from the 3rd area."

Newer stages await us ahead eventually!

A-C1 : "So far what I know, the very starting point (Stage 1) pays the most Solarium, Stage 6.2 (Subspace) & Stage 6.1 (Deathly Ruins) along with Final Area-A (Fenrir Junkyard) pay the most Etherium, Stage 2 (plants) and 5 (water) pay the highest Bydogen, while all DLC Bonus stages pay a well balance loadout of 60 of everything.

Stage 6.2 might not be worth as much Etherium as the Ancient (and deadly) ruins, but it's the safest route once you know what's coming and watch your back vs the Boss."
