Re: Experience
There could be a problem with giving experience for the amount of damage done to the enemy. What if you use toxic injectors? That way, no real damage is done to the ship, but you still get the kill. If what you propose was done, you wouldn't get any experience for kills with TI's. Maybe this could also be altered?? Say a kill with a toxic injector could be worth 75% of a kill with conventional weapons? Just a suggestion.

Re: Experience
Perhaps crew deaths could be part of the calculation of ship damage for this purpose. I just know that now, when a fleet is beating up on a pirate ship, I try to hold my shot for the moment at which I can get the kill so that I can get the experience. Then there is the great frustration of single-handedly beating a superior ship into submission in a prolonged running battle, only to have a passing freighter take a single shot and blow it up, thus giving you no experience.

Re: Experience
Of course, if experience were based on damage, people could also "camp the shield regenerators" - find a weak ship that has shield regenerators (or repair bays) and repeatedly shoot at it but not enough to destroy it, then let it regenerate!
But I agree, even this would probably be better than the current system; it would take a LOT of patience to wait for shields to regenerate!

Re: Experience
In stock, perhaps.
In my mod, if you were to go up against say a battlecruiser in your destroyer, it would take quite a lot of persistence to wear down their shields, if you could even dent them (Some ships have more regen than others).

Actually, the ship would only be worth a certain amount of experience. The amount of damage you do would only be used to figure out your percentage of the experience.
