Additional Facts

 * Chat abbreviation for Veterancy Experience Points is VXP.
 * Ship ranks grant their ship a percent increase in its firing rate and turning speed.
 * Each ship's rank is increased as it gains experience.
 * There are 25 ranks now which could increase reload bonus and turn speed by to a maximum of 75% (these many additional ranks after rank #5 - one star - were added early May 2014).
 * Up to 20 veteran experience points (VXP) can be gained per combat; 10 points for damage done and 10 points for damage taken.
 * A ship would need to be completely destroyed in a battle to gain 10 points from being damaged.
 * A ship gains 1 vxp for each 10% of its own armor points it incurs to another ship (e.g., if your ship has 10,000 armor points it must do 1,000 points of damage in a single combat to get 1 vxp).
 * A very popular method to increase VXP or rank quickly is in sinking multiple Drac cargo fleets; however, please clean up your mess afterwards else sector broadcast "Free Cargo in sector !"
 * Cargo Salvage Fleets do sink automatically after pone hour of neglect (new feature, June 2015)
 * The amount of VXP needed for a ship to advance from one rank to the next is dependent on the type of ship
 * Each experience level has a distinct icon.
 * The icons for beginner experience (XP) levels are one chevron, two chevrons, three chevrons.
 * Recruit 5 is three chevrons with a diamond underneath..
 * The top level icon is Level 25 - Legendary Skull with 75% boosts!
 * Levels make the list easier to understand about ranking and its changes
 * Previously there were only 5 levels of VXP namely recruit 2 to 5 and Hunter 1 (the single star)
 * On May 6, 2014, Kixeye created 20 new Veteran experience levels past the original 5 for some extraordinary rankings
 * If your ship has defensive weapons only it will not gain experience unless it is damaged/destroyed. I.e., a destroyer with only Anti-Missile and/or Anti-Mortar will only gain experience when the ship is damaged, not when it destroys incoming fire.
