OTOH, using PD cannon DOES count for experience: each fighter, each missile, and each satellite killed counts for experience. So put a couple PD Cannon on each ship, put them in battle against fighters/missiles/satellites, and watch the experience grow!

Hey! Great tip. I'll have to go back and see what my experience is like after battling the Earth Alliance.

I believe there is a problem with ships getting experience from missle kills. If your using missles, that's probly why you get 0 expierence.

It wins.

It gains no experience.

BUG?

How do you earn fleet experience?
What effect does it have?

You get experience for BEING hit? That's kinda weird... are you sure you didn't gain experience by destroying your opponents' seekers?

Not only Experienced, I've been to Electric Ladyland.....haha.

I've got an elite fleet floating around, just chewing up my enemies.... it does help to have experience.

They get the experiance from the brave action of blazing trough the enemy line under heavy fire. You should have seen the experience bosst my 4 ship fleet got after succesfully blowing up 12 Cue Cappans.

I think the fleet bonus affects every ship in the fleet. Isn't this in Malfador's FAQ?

In a previous game, I had a Legendary fleet (+50%), and most of the ships were at least Veteran (around +20%). This fleet was nearly invincible. It took me forever to realize why I was winning so easily, and it was b/c my ships were almost NEVER hit by direct-fire weapons. By contrast, my ships would rarely miss. Both myself and my opponents were using ECM/Combat Sensor III, so that couldn't have been the reason.

Really experienced ships/fleets are killer, but less effect with seeker-armed ships, as they don't get offensive bonus (not that they really need it).

on gaining experience (i need to try this, but maybe someone else knows):

you cant psychicly train MC controlled ships. however, you can put both a bridge / crew AND an MC on a ship. do these ships get trained by psychic facilities?

Thats silly you say! who the heck would build a ship that way, you ask! you play a PBEM game with more than 3 humans with high starting tech, and then come back and tell me your not more than a little worried about psychic crew conVersion and/or MC viral distruction.
