How many ships did you destroy? It might not give a full experience point for each kill.

Re: Missiles and Experience
 

I have just run a test where I killed thirty vessels or so, and did not gain any point of ship experience. It was not against units or fleet experience, which would be quite different.

odd I thought they were, but I just checked my ships and they are all at 0%...

Too bad this bug was not fixed. Yet another reason to avoid seekers in your designs.

Re: Missiles and Experience
 

What if you hit a ship with direct fire weapons, and then finish it off with a missile?

Re: Missiles and Experience
 

Only the "killing stroke" matters for experience purposes.

Re: Missiles and Experience
 

It all depends on how it is implemented. Perhaps the Last ship to hit it with a DF weapon is recorded, and then XP is dished out when the ship dies.

Re: Missiles and Experience
 

Does this thread indicate the possiblity that we need to look into how experience is being done, and how it will be implemented in SE5?

Re: Missiles and Experience
 

Only the killing stroke. One ship could hit the target with 12 shots, then a second ship hits it once and finishes it. The second ship gets the 1 experience point, the first ship gets nothing. Killing ships only gives ship experience in full 1% increments.

The method that experience is acquired is more or less known. It is definitely wonky and needs to be revamped for SE5...
