Alpha Fleet, in my latest PBW game, is quite the force.
It's lead by Defender, a Legendary (41%) Sarhad II class (Null-Space Armed) ship, is Legendary (50%) in it's own right, and has a compliment of 15 ships, inlcuding minesweepers. This fleet, since being sent to the front, has sterilzed two enemy systems and destroyed over 30MT of enemy ships, for a loss of ONE ship and 90 fighters.
Killing fighters is a great way to get ship and fleet experience. I am playing a game where I just conquered a Darlok planet and they send about 200 fighters to intercept my 36 ship fleet (about half are armed), and I easily wiped them out, especially with my four light cruisers armed with level 5 point defense guns without them even getting in a single shot. Raised my fleet experience from 32% to 49% and those four light cruisers all went from less than 20% experience to over 40%.
Better stop sterilizing planets though, because actually invading and conquering them gives really good bonuses to fleet experience as well.
