Ship combat experience
Is combat experience broken in the current patch?
The FAQ says that a ship's crew gets 1% experience for each ship it kills, but I'm not seeing that. My ships -never- show any experience gained from combat, only if I use a training center.

Re: Ship combat experience
They only get experience for direct fire weapons. Fighters and Seekers will not earn experiences, I don't think Ship Capture or Ramming will either.

Re: Ship combat experience
IIRC ships gain experience only in strategic combat, not tactical.

I've made ships gain experience with tactical combat. Unless it was removed in a current patch, it has been a while.
It's a fun thing to do -- turn all ministers on, and just control one ship or one fleet.

That's retarded. Will it be fixed? Using v1.49, I noticed that no ship or fleet ever gained any experience, and I hoped this was something broken with 1.49 that would be fixed when I got Gold. But you're saying it is still broken/intentional? |

Argh. Well, that explains it - I almost always use tactical combat in single-player. I will have to check in the game that I have going with my son to see if my ships there have been getting experience (simultaneous turns, all combat is strategic).
Oh well, I have been thinking that I ought to use strategic combat more, just to get used to it for playing PBW, etc.
Thanks for the info.
