question about experience

[OneirosFortyTwo]

Is there a definitive listing of experience returns anywhere? What actions earns you battle, support or command experience and how much?

This action earns me experience and there's no diminishing returns on the amount of poon that comes in. Satisfied "customers" always come back.

Firefly's salad tossing skills are known to be legendary. I think Brian Boitano even dedicated his autobiography to him.

As for how much experience points you get in Planetside, even though I've been playing it for years, my level of understanding about how exactly they reach that number is equal to my level of understanding of the Riemann hypothesis. Honestly, I think it's a random number generator, but I can't prove that.

Experience for base caps is based on the 15 mins before and after the hack is started. And it measures how many enemies are in the SoI of that base, the more enemies in that time the more xp you get up to the cap. A full red alert during atleast the first 15 mins will give max xp.

Kill xp is based on how long that person was alive (possibly even their kill record), aka spawn campin gives almost nothin while killin that reaver pilot who's been runnin around murdering people without dieing himself, will give alot.

Support xp varies but things like people getting kills after they spawn at your AMS will give a tiny bit of xp (but it adds up if alot of people spawn there). Other support xp often works on the same idea, repair somethin and if they kill people you get a tiny bit of xp.

There's very little point in try to grind exp in this game tbh, just do what you enjoy and exp will follow

Exactly. And honestly i have much more fun at the BR/CR caps than i do levelin up. I can then focus on havin fun rather than gettin xp which are not always the same thing, esp if you like spec ops.

Oh, I never planned on grinding, I just wanted to know why sometimes I got exp out of nowhere and sometimes why I didn't. Since Support Exp doesn't show up immediately I wanted to know what earns it, and so on. When I first started playing I specced Engineer, and spent most base raids putting out mines and turrets, but I never seemed to earn exp for anything.

You'll get xp from that engi stuff as it kills people. You just may miss it as it scrolls by. Plus its very effective for base defense.

LOL driving an AMS I get XP points when I haven't even deployed it. I guess it's just for being on cont and being a heroic AMS driver.
