Suggestions about experience:

It seems that experience needs some tweaking. It is very hard to get the higher levels, and there are several components that depend on experience (and that become somewhat useless due to current experience system).

My suggestion is based on current experience levels, adding one "extra" (NooB level) for just created/unmothballed ships.

- level 0: NooB (0-19 experience points): Just created/unmothballed ships need some time to get in shape. In addition, this extra level makes Stupifier more useful.
-Bonus: -2 to hit, - 1 to evasion.

- level 1: Recruit (20-999 experience points)
-Bonus: 0

- level 2: Trained (1000-1999 experience points):
-Bonus: +2 to hit, + 1 to evasion.

- level 3: Regular (2000-3999 experience points):
-Bonus: +4 to hit, + 2 to evasion.

- level 4: Seasoned (4000-6999 experience points):
-Bonus: +6 to hit, + 3 to evasion.

- level 5: Veteran (7000-10999 experience points):
-Bonus: +9 to hit, + 4 to evasion.

- level 6: Crack (11000-15999 experience points):
-Bonus: +12 to hit, + 6 to evasion.

- level 7: Elite (17000-22999 experience points):
-Bonus: +15 to hit, + 9 to evasion.

- level 8: Legendary (23000+ experience points):
-Bonus: +20 to hit, + 12 to evasion.

You could have "untrained" instead of "noob" Razz

The Stupifier would actually make the untrained/noob level smarter as it removes experience modifier. Razz

LOL, reminds me of that one episode of "Rocky & Bullwinkle" where Bullwinkle was a genius because he was uneffected by Boris and Natasha's stupidity ray Razz

These are the values I was thinking of using:

Nice!

Now it is time to tweak Neural Combat Net, Stupifier and Holy War Totem according to this. Smile

Hm... does stupifier kill both fleet and ship XP for the target?

I would assume it removes all experience modifiers. It would be even cooler though it subtracted the experience modifiers instead. A legendary crew would become legendarily stupid. Razz

What is the timing for training facilities for each level?

It's about 10-20 turns for a typical training facility to impart a Veteran level experience on a ship or fleet.
