Default Re: Ship and fleet experience

Just checked the result from the battle in "Above the law" (see thread).

My fleet of 39 ships killed 92 with the loss of 1
Fleet experience rised from 20 to 21 %

Now I'm really confused

Watch the replay. I expect you'd see your surviving gunship put the killing blow on 4 ships, and the PD ship finish 2 ships. The fleet experience is interesting, suggesting that you're more likely to get experience with a low-experience fleet, or when your own fleet takes losses.

Just played my KOTH turn against Rollo. My totally unblooded baby fleet of 3 gun ships, 1 PD ship and a minesweeper against Rollo's 3 missile ships and a minelayer. Lost 2 gun ships and minesweeper to mines but the PD and one gunships were unharmed.

So:

GK fleet: 1 PD destroyer with 1 DUC and 9 PDC, 1 DUC destroyer with 5 DUC and 2 PDC
Rollo's force: 3 destroyers with 3 missile bays each, one minelayer unarmed

Three battles in this sector on the turn. Result: not a scratch to my force, all Rollo force destroyed.

Experience gained in this first ever battle for these ships:

Fleet 2%
PD ship 4%
DUC ship 2%



I not getting smarter, I'm getting dumber!

Sorry PVK, there were only 4 ships in that fleet, so my best guess is the DUC ship killed 2, the PD ship killed 2 plus about 40 missiles. But where did the 2% fleet experience come from... especially in light of Primitive's post-- 39 kill 92 and get only 1%?

Mystery resolved

Bad news is it opens for a small exploit

Ask Aaron to fix it in the next patch or publish for everyone to use ?

I vote for sending it to Aaron while keeping it secret. I guess that besides you noone knows this bug yet. so dont tell it to anyone, and dont exploit it yoursef

You would have to be a pretty low person to resort to such obvious bug exploitation.

Whom do you accuse here ?? Maerlin' post was perfectly fine.
