Missiles and Experience
 

Your ship doesn't gain experience when it kills an enemy with missiles. Hmmm, am I the only one who think that this doesn't quite make sense? If you are a F16 pilot and you kill 5 enemies with missiles, you'd be called an Ace and you're probably pretty darn good for surviving and winning. Shouldn't the same logic apply here?

v.1.87 (Patch 4)
4. Fixed - Ships were not receiving experience for kills made with seekers.

Thanks. That would explain it. I only SE4 not SE4 Gold.

I have Version 1.91 and I find that my ships STILL aren't gaining experience from missile kills. Has anybody actually tried it and gained experience? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif

Re: Missiles and Experience
 

Furthermore, if I remember it correctly, shooting seekers down gives you 1/10 experience points in combat. So you gain 1% experience by shooting down 10 fighters or missiles. I am not sure about drones. I might remember this wrong, though.

OK, I just tried it now, and ships do not get experience from destroying enemy ships using seekers, even with the latest patch. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Re: Missiles and Experience
 

Did you try it with how many seekers? I remember that someone said at some forgotten thread that you have to shoot them down en masse, so my numbers of 10 seekers for 1% can be mumbo jumbo.

Re: Missiles and Experience
 

I'm not shooting down seekers. My ship is firing seekers at enemy ships. My ship doesn't get experience when the enemy ship is destroyed.

Re: Missiles and Experience
 

What Version are you playing with? Pre-Gold?

Re: Missiles and Experience
 

Same here; my ships did not gain any experience while using seekers, at least not after several kills. Either it is based on the same reasoning as fighting units (unlikely), or it is simply not working.

Edit: Under the 1.91 patch of course.
