Experience Question

[DirectorTsaarx]

I have a couple of ships at "Legendary" status; and every time one of them uses direct-fire weapons to destroy an enemy ship, experience goes up by 1%. I haven't figured out whether ships gain a full 1% for each fighter/satellite/seeker destroyed, but I know you get experience for it. (In fact, one trick is to build a PDC-heavy ship, use it to destroy lots of seekers to get experience up, then retrofit to another design; the experience stays even when the weapons change...)
