Looks like nobody is able to understand how the experience system works. I'll make more tests and then I'll bug Aaron again.

I think PvK's interpretation of what Aaron said is the most accurate one...

Not 'nobody' then.

I'm sure it's not +0.1 fleet experience per kill, because it requires a way more ships than 10 to get 1% of fleet experience.

However I think a ship gets ships experiece also if the fleet its in makes a kill. If you fight a big battle with unexperienced ships, you'll notice the sum of every ship's experience is more than number of enemy ships.

I'm pretty sure that .1 experience per kill for a fleet is wrong.

In a solo game I am playing, I sent out a ship with 6 experience to capture planets. Having captured about 20 planets, killed several satellites, swept many mines and destroyed MAYBE 10 ships (and probably only 5), it now has experience of 9!

I was surprised when it went to 7, so I started paying attention. Two turns later it went to 8!! having captured a couple planets and destroying 1 ship.

There is more to fleet experience than destroying ships, but darned if I can get a handle on it.

You don't get any experience destroying planets/capturing them. However, I am not sure if you get any XP's destroying fighters/satellites (which often are on planets).

I don't think I've ever noticed ship experience go up except when the ship caused the death of another ship.

I think Aaron probably doesn't remember the whole system for fleet experience, and/or there is a bug.
