I'm not sure why this game is having a hard time implemamenting a fair exp system it's not very hard.
1 point of exp for every 10 points of dmg..... = 100k attack = 10k exp, 300k attack = 30k.
(half the exp for a loss)
Bonus exp for ship-class specific scoring....
dd's & CA's cap islands, CL's AAA, etc.
Also NF1 had it right in that cv's were real cash cows for credits.
