4.8.1 Defence Bases and Satellites always show up on the wrong side of the planet during combat.

It only seems that way.

4.8.1 Bases and Satellite Groups are placed around the planet randomly. This means that there's only about a 3 in 8 chance that they will be closer to the attackers than the planet itself.

15.2.1 The Play By Vire Service is free of charge.

"Play By Web", not Wire.

The ship experience gives a % bonus in both attack and defense, isn't it?

But, what does the fleet experience do?

Fleet experience adds to the individual ship's experience while the ship is in the fleet. The total experience from crew and fleet percentages adds to "less likely to be hit" and "more likely to hit with direct fire weapons" chances.

Thanks Slick, but I have one new question

If I understand correctly, fleet experience is an attribute of the fleets, not of the ships.

If you have a fleet with 3 ships (Ships A,B and C) with 20% fleet experience and B and C leaves fleet, the result is a 1 ship fleet with 20% experience?

What if that ships rejoin the fleet? There will be still 20% fleet experiuence?

Yes and yes. As long as the fleet always has at least one ship in it, the experience remains.
