My answer is : "yes, please but with moderation"
I mean, at lvl 149 I can craft the Yamato cannon even if it is a 150 weapon and I even got a moon cannon from one of the many help with the PoI boss battle.

I have already parts in my hangar I can not use, so... what's the difference.
Trade wind shopping is a good cost saving strategy for parts, so I suggest to allow at least up to level above. I know low levels are a lot quicker to achieve, so perhaps
1-50 max purchase= your level+ 6
50-90 max purchase= your level+ 5
90-120 max purchase= your level+ 4
120-140 max purchase= your level+ 3
140-155 max purchase= your level+ 2
from 156 max purchase= your level+ 1

Answering a question with a question will get you nowhere. I can do so because going nowhere means less work for me.

hmm, so we don't need to go back into the other harbour and spend ap's for the travel?

of course, if those island military can actually loot ressources, than we could at least buy the weapons beforehand, so we dont have empty hands, when we have the actual level necessery,
but of course, it doesn't mean, we can freely buy every weapon, just a few level(s) would be nice.

So sell it as a feature. People will pay for convenience.

so you want it for the ocho players? ^^

[Dirty Stallis]

It sounds like there was a reason why Tyler changed this. I don't understand why it was done, but if it gets a few people to ocho for this ability it's worth it. And ocho players are what keep the game going for everyone.

I'm planning to reduce all travel costs to 0 in BS3.5 so that won't be necessary.

the problem is not that higher level parts cannot be bought, but rather that the level 85 sonic charger uses a level 90 engine to craft

The question should be: "Why don't we allow turtles of a higher level to be bought?"
