Leveling up
I haven't had the chance to play Vendetta all that much lately, but there have been a couple of things I feel need to be adjusted about the leveling system.
Firstly, it takes way to hell bloody long to level up. It took me nearly 2 hours to level up from a bus. This may be great to delay the game for people who play constantly, but it just frustrates others. "Whats the point of this game? Just to level up?" The leveling up should be on a different curve, where its easy to level up from bus to the next step, then gets progressivly longer. Maybe simply half the three first lisence levels would work nicely.
Secondly there needs to be more then just standerd "combat practice" missions to level up. Something like kill piratebotXX halfway across the galaxy, and return to collect your bounty.

Problem 1: It's a test, this is what we're paid (paid wha? I haven't seen a dime!) to do...find this stuff and report it back to the Devs.
Problem 2: You addressed it, the combat missions need to be increased. For example, the current Adv. Combat Training tells you to go hunt bots that exist on opposing sides of the system! And some are just too fast.
Solution 2: There needs to be different levels of Combat Training in each license level such as
Advanced Combat Training Options:
Pursuit: Pursue and eliminate 3 Recons for a bonus
Dogfighting: Eliminate 5 MK II's for a bonus
Ambush: Elminate 10 MK I's for a bonus
Supply Hits: Eliminate 6 Transports for a bonus
This allows players to really stay on one side of the sector and also destroy bots they feel comfortable with. Also, it allows for forces to train fighting different styles to be used better in Group Missions.

Your expecting an MMORPG to have a point? They never do, but most people have personal goals of being "the best in-game".
This release was just to test-out if the mission code works. Don't expect much.
/me likes Pyro's suggestion anyway.

I still think leveling up should be a very long process, bots should give way less in the retail version, but this is a test and the point of tests is to test stuff, so the way it is now is good.
