Ship A got 10 Fleet exp + 5 ship exp. I put it in another fleet, with ships that have no exp at all. In this new fleet, ship A will still have its 5 ship exp bonus, plus its 10 fleet bonus since it fights in a fleet an not alone? So even if I have a single ship I should create a one-ship fleet so it uses its fleet exp in a solo fight?
Example time:
"Alpha Squadron", a fleet, has 10% experience.
"Furious Wombat", a ship, has 5% experience.
"Newbie fleet", a fleet, has 1% experience.
When F.W. is a part of alpha squadron, it fights with a total of +15% to attack and dodge rolls.
This applies even if the ship breaks formation.
F.W. is separated from the squadron and goes off on his own.
It now fights with only a 5% bonus.
F.W. joins a "Newbie Fleet". It now fights with a 6% bonus.
All of the other ships in newbie fleet are destroyed or leave.
F.W. still gets a 6% bonus, even though it is alone.
F.W. leaves, and the fleet is disbanded (no ships remain). The 1% fleet experience is lost forever.

Oh, so it is the score difference that determines the ability to subjugate then?
Yes. The AI files have someting along the lines of "Only accept surrender if they are X times my score."
What is a TDM race?
TDM is the initials of the three founders of a great AI package.
You can find the TDM modpack on your CD, but there might have been an update since then. Check out the
Space Empires:IV AI Races/Ship Sets Thread in shrapnel's upload area.
Technology can be captured by intel ops, or by using boarding parties (ship component), or by trading.
