Turret Experience

Heya,

Just a quick thought really, it seems no one has commented on this. But, the problem is, i get no experience from my kills in my dent using the turrets. I get reports from my passengers saying they get experience when using my turrets. Why don't I?

I have a capital ship which sports four capswarm turrets, and yet using them is essentially nerfed, i have killed thousands of bots and not a single point of xp, except the odd time a bot wanders it front of my hive gat.

Its a little strange that its not giving the xp, which is why i posted it here, in the hopes its just an over sight, and not intentional.

I do some crazy combat in my dent using the missiles... I just wish i could get some xp to show for it... I should have leveled up like three times with the 6000 kills i have dont since completing my dent. It just seems crazy really. Not to mention five pvp kills that also didnt register combat xp.

Please help...

ADDITION
If the turrets are in fact intentionally nerfed, the dent may as well not have turrets in the first place. I can understand the concerns about people sitting there for hours killing bots, but so what? What does that hurt anything really? Im at levels high enough to have unlocked everything, but i do all my combat in the dent now and have absolutely nothing to show for it, except a kill counter that has doubled.

Its another case of players being nerfed because devs are worried about the few who will abuse things... but in this case, it seems the only thing being deprived is something that in all honesty doesnt really matter - its just a case of having something to show for what you have done. Personal satisfaction.

If it were something like a pvp related issue, or something that somejow related to an interaction in players i could understand a clampdown.

If it really needs nerfing, then why not reduce xp for kills in a turret, say 50% or something, removing it completely is daft.

That's just hyperbole. The turrets still perform their primary job of letting you kill stuff regardless of whether you get XP for it.

I personally like the idea of a new category of XP (Capital XP) which would open up access to new capital ship add ons. This way one would get XP by use of turrets or the main L port weapon, but the XP would only be useable by Trident owners and not as an easy way for newblets to level up without risk.
