Experience

Overview

Experience points are the primary means of advancement in AD2460. Gathering experience allows you to level up, which allows you to have more commanders, more outposts, more production speed, and more tech points.

Gaining Experience points

You can gain xp in multiple ways.

Building units

Every unit you build gets you 1xp. [source needed]

Missions

Missions are, especially at early levels, one of the primary ways of gaining xp. Many missions have a fixed xp reward, while battle missions additionally gain you xp from any killed ships.

Experience through battle

The main way to get experience is through battling other players. You gain xp for every enemy ship killed, at a value of 1 xp per 10 strength killed.

This value can be modified if the ratio of attacker to defender varies at homeworld battles.
Ratio att:def = xp ratio
1.3 = 0.2
1.2 = 0.6
1.1 = 1
0.9 = 1.3
0.8 = 2

Scouting, prospecting

You gain 5xp for every succesful scouting attempt. You gain 10xp for every prospected cluster, making it an attractive way to gain early levels.
