Simply put: it would be logical to gain a bit of combat Exp for every ship you destroy... afterall isnt that combat ?
i think so too, it is really hard to get an combat license while your light weapons license increase verry fast
yeah, i'm gonna have to agree there, you shouldn't be (practically) forced to bot to gain exp.
you're not gaining xp for each ship you destroy?
"you're not gaining xp for each ship you destroy?"
Harvestmouse: sure, you currently gain light or heavy weapons XP for every bot you destroy and some combat for every x number of bots you wax if you are on a combat mission.

Thinking about this suggestion thread, the underlying issue is this: are things balanced between how quickly a player can accumulate Combat experience verses the Combat license requirements for ships, weapons and other equipment? If it takes a slightly lower Combat license requirement to acquire items, then I'd recommend slightly tweaking things or leaving the xp system alone. If not, then suggestions from the crowd?

I'd like to see kill xp split between the weapon and pilot skills. I'd also like to see piloting specific missions, which would be especially helpful for newbs, where you have to fly through a course (rings? nav points? specially colored crates?) in a certain amount of time to complete.
All i ask for is to get EXP from destroying EVIL serco trade bots! or at least ++ Itani Faction standings :D
gonna have to add that if you use both Hvy and light weps you get points for using both ^_^
The lack of ways to get combat exp. seriously needs to be addressed.
i wholeheartly endorse Soltis message.
doing combat missions has become my worst menace. it is most boring thing I MUST do (it turns out) to get my valk. I really cannot force myself to destroy 12000 bots.
Even at 2 bots a minute it would require 6000 minutes or 100 hours or 5 days of NON STOP botting. NO FOOD, NO DRINK, NO SLEEP, NO SMOKE. JUST KILLING BOTS OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER. (oh and NO docking :)

I think, it is good the way it is.
Look at the trading XP... Nobody is doing trademissions anymore, because you can gain trading XP by trading for profit or/and mining...
Why are there missions, if nobody will have to do them? That is the wrong direction, I think

No, it's the right direction.
The missions are F*ING BROKEN.
I know they're basically placeholders, but until they are replaced with REAL content, there absolutely must be alternatives to keep the game from being a boring treadmill. Trade, mining, and weapons exp. can all be gotten in fun and interesting ways. Combat experience is the only one that is still reliant on PvP or a broken, very not-fun mission series.
Maybe things can be rebalanced to encourage the use of missions AFTER missions are fixed, but for now trapping players in a broken mission system is complete and utter stupidity.

wow. O_O

Hey. I'm not blaming the devs for the way things are, but I don't want people trying to create the impression it's okay to force players to use a system that does not work.
YOU STOLE MY LINE I KILL YOU!!!

One thing I'd like to add, is it's shown as Combat *Piloting* License. So I'd like to see some things that give XP focusing on the Piloting aspect. If/When racing is reimplemented, I think it should give Combat Piloting XP. There should be other things as well.
just a bump..
Beolach: I really like that idea. I hadn't thought of that before...
"Even at 2 bots a minute it would require 6000 minutes or 100 hours or 5 days of NON STOP botting"
It doesn't even take 24 hours of botting to get lvl 8 combat. You don't need to kill 12,000 bots. It's not THAT hard people. As far as I'm concerned, this game is too easy. Either that or we need more content. First off getting credits is rather easy. This isn't a problem except for the fact that there's nothing to buy.... I mean we need goals and after a few weeks of playing this game I will have unlocked every ship and weapon there is for the serco. Sure then I can start working on my itani faction and get all of those ships and weapons, but still..... We need more ships, more weapons, more everything. Combat xp doesn't matter. It's too easy to get to level 8 already. I don't see the need to change that. Sure if some people want to keep all their levels perfectly even then I guess it wouldn't hurt if you added about half the xp that someone got in light weapons or heavy weapons for every bot they destroyed. That way it could all be equal.
What we really need though is MORE STUFF!
(please)

"Too easy" you say.
Bulls*t.
You may have the endless hours to play, but some of us have better or more important things to do.
Killing 4 tough bots(REALLY tough if you have lag) for a measly 500 combat exp. is insulting.
More insulting is the fact that there is _NO OTHER WAY_ to get combat exp., aside from PvP, which is usually much harder than botting, since humans are better pilots.
Try again in your debating, without using arguments that just don't apply to most people.
