Missiles and Experience

OK, I just tried it now, and ships do not get experience from destroying enemy ships using seekers, even with the latest patch.

Did you try it with how many seekers? I remember that someone said at some forgotten thread that you have to shoot them down en masse, so my numbers of 10 seekers for 1% can be mumbo jumbo.

I'm not shooting down seekers. My ship is firing seekers at enemy ships. My ship doesn't get experience when the enemy ship is destroyed.

What Version are you playing with? Pre-Gold?

See, I always thought that was the point. We used to say that you had to switch to direct-fire for experience. Maybe the mention of it in the patch was removing the Last bugs that allowed experience to come from a missile kill.
