Kalidor Crescent scoring and points

[Endicott]

I'm curious if anyone knows for sure how many bonus points you need for each level of the Kalidor Crescent. Some very old game guides state the Golden Wings is earned at 17500
while Diamond Eyes cap out at 21000. No word on the lesser degrees, although almost everyone at some point gets the basic medals around 3-4 thousand bonus points.

edit: strike that... those numbers were from X-Wing

Seems you get a new level every 3500points.

so:
Kalidor Crescent: 3500
Bronze Cluster: 7000
Silver Talons: 10500
Silver Scimitar: 14000
Golden Wings: 17500
Diamond Eyes: 21000

So sad that I can only get Silver Talons because I called for reinforcement every mission due to Hard mode Tour of Duty. Really no choice.

It is possible to get your Kalidor fully tricked out on Hard without ever calling reinforcements, as shown in this playthrough.

Sometimes the strategies are not obvious and require some cheesy knowledge of e.g. how the AI works or the different triggers for the mission.
