Every time one of your ships destroys an enemy ship, yout ship earns 1% experience.

Just wondering:
If two ships contribute to the damage who gets credit?

The one who fires the death blow. In tactical, I used to try to make sure it was the same one, so it's experience would become obscene. I wanted to see how high experience got and what it was called.

So if a missile-only ship kills 100 enemy DN with its missiles during a 2 year campaign... it does not learn anything new?

And what about the planets? They count as experience?

And what were the results==> the experience and the lable?

+50% Legendary, I believe. That's just using my own experience with a previous Version of the game (1.35 I believe).

I never saw higher than legendary. I don't recall the bonus, but +50% seems right. I can't be sure it doesn't go higher 'tho.

But that ship and it's fleet was just ripping through the AI's fleets. It was practically unhittable, never showed component damage, and hit ships as if it had a talisman.

0.02. To see the beginning of a forum thread, click the "Printer-friendly view of this topic" icon at the bottom of the page.(Arcon, Gryphin)

I'd reword this: "To read a thread in first-to-Last order, click...".

2.05.09. If you retrofit (captured, insurrected, or gifted) ships with special racial technology components that your race does not possess, you will loose those components

Annoyingly common typo: "lose", not "loose".

[ new ] 3.01.02.3 In Tactical Combat, weapons that are not reloading have a lit background. If you don't want to fire all of the weapons at once (for example, to divide fire from a ship with Multiplex Tracking), left-clicking on each weapon toggles it off or on again.

3.02.09.3. wmg’s (?) get a 30% to hit bonus.

wmg = Wave-Motion Gun
