Re: Have you ever been Experienced?
Also, if someone hasn't mentioned it already, you should only gain experience for destroying ARMED ships. Another very easy way to build up huge experience levels is to sit your ships on a warp point into a system where the AI wants to colonize and pick off the colony ships as they stream in. Rarely is the AI focused enough to send more than a few warships at a time to clear out the path to the desired planets.
Ideally, there should be a player settable "tonnage to gain 1 experience" setting in the settings.txt file. Of course, you should never gain more than 1 percent per ship in any case, but being able to specify 20000 tons destroyed to gain a point of experience would be nice. "Legendary" ships would become much more valuable.
