Experience can be gained in three ways:
Experience can be gained in three ways:
*Completing '''[[Missions]]'''
*Completing '''[[Missions]]'''
*'''[[Coalition Commendation]]s and [[Coalition Medal]]s'''
*'''[[Commendation]]s and [[Medal]]s'''
*Various '''[[Talents]]'''
*Various '''[[Talents]]'''
==Missions==
At the end of a mission, all members of the crew will gain experience from any completed missions. Experience gain from completing missions depends on how much money the mission gives, and the difficulty of the level. Level missions - such as reactivating a beacon station or killing an abyss creature - give experience just the same as a mission from an outpost.
The formula for experience gain is as follows: <code>Experience = Money * 0.09 * (1 + Level Diff. / 100)</code>


==Commendations & Medals==
These are consumable items which give experience when used.
'''Coalition Commendations''' give 275 experience, while '''Coalition Medals''' give 750 experience.<br>
[[Captain]]s with the "[[Trusted Captain]]" talent receive one '''[[Coalition Commendation]]s''' at the end of each round, as long as at least one mission has been completed. The "[[Trucker]]" talent will give an additional commendation, as long as all, missions have been completed. Contrary to the description, level missions such as beacon stations and hunting grounds are required.<br>
One '''[[Coalition Medal]]''' is awarded to any character with the "[[Esteemed Captain]]" talent at the end of each round, as long as at least one mission has been completed.
Commendations and Medals will give experience to both the user and the recipient, as long as it is being used by a captain with the relevant talent. ([[Trusted Captain]] for commendations and [[Esteemed Captain]] for medals.)
==Talents==
Each [[Jobs|'''Job''']] has several '''[[Talents]]''' that can increase experience. Some talents give an instant experience boost, and others increase experience gained by a percentage amount.
===Captain===
*'''[[Camaraderie]]''' - Whenever you finish a mission without a crewmember dying, and your crew contains at least 5 different jobs, your crew gains an additional 20% money and experience. The deaths of assistants do not count.
*'''[[Trusted Captain]]''' Whenever you finish at least one mission, gain a  [[Coalition Commendation]]. When you apply a Coalition Commendation on another character, gain 275 experience.
*'''[[Esteemed Captain]] -''' Whenever you finish at least one mission, gain a  [[Coalition Medal]]. When you apply a Coalition Medal on another character, gain 750 experience. You may select an additional mission.
===Engineer===
*'''[[Expanded Research]] -''' When you or another allied crewmember deconstructs depleted fuel, they gain 200 experience. This effect can only occur up to 3 times until you finish another mission.
*'''[[Co-Author]] -''' You can co-write a book with a Mechanic. To do this, select their character and have them select yours. (Open each others' health menus). After 10 seconds, you will gain  [[The Handy Seaman]], and both of you gain 150 experience. This effect cannot occur again until you finish another mission.
*'''[[Polymath]] -''' Gain a bonus of 20 to all skills, and you gain 65% more mission experience, but you have 25% less maximum health.
** Despite claiming to boost "mission experience," Polymath boosts all experience gains.
===Mechanic===
*'''[[Quickfix]] -''' Unlock recipe:  [[Repair Pack]]. Whenever you fully repair a device, gain 40 experience. This effect can only occur up to 8 times until you finish another mission.
*'''[[Scrounger]] -''' Whenever you open a container in a wreck for the first time, you have a 40% chance of finding an additional scrap. When you deconstruct scrap, gain 50 experience. Force doors open 50% faster.
*'''[[Canned Heat]] -''' Fuel and oxygen tanks you fabricate are of 1 higher quality. Whenever you play an accordion, the ally nearest to you will gain 15 experience every second. When they do, you gain 10 experience. This effect can only occur up to 20 times until you finish another mission.
*'''[[Scrap Savant]] -''' You can refine 3 scrap to any alien material. Gain 150 experience when you fabricate an alien material. Whenever you open a container in a wreck for the first time, you have a 80% chance of finding an additional scrap.
===Medical Doctor===

==Missions==
At the end of a level, all members of the crew will gain experience from any completed missions. Experience gain from completing missions depends on how much money the mission gives, and the difficulty of the level. Level missions - such as reactivating a beacon station or killing an abyss creature - give experience just the same as a mission from an outpost. Any bonus money earned from talents like [[Bounty Hunter]] does not count towards this base XP amount.
 
The formula for base experience gain is as follows: <code>Experience = Money * 0.09 * (1 + (Level Diff. / 100))</code>
 
==Commendations & Medals==
These are consumable items which give experience when used. Only the recipient of the medal receives the experience.
 
'''Commendations''' give 275 experience, while '''Medals''' give 550 experience.<br>

==Talents==
Each [[Jobs|'''Job''']] has several '''[[Talents]]''' that can increase experience. Some talents give an instant experience boost, and others increase experience gained by a percentage amount.
 
Mission experience may be increased by the effects of talents. Talents like [[Camaraderie]] increase all mission experience, but talents like [[Logistics Expert]] only increase mission experience from their relevant missions.

<!-- Commenting out, needs review
 
==Talent practicality==
<!-- Editor note: this is an opinion piece, or at least reads as such. I'm not happy with the tone, but I'm also failing to lift it up to proper journalistic standards.
<!-- At the same time i think it's important to keep this info on the wiki. If this is not appropriate for the main wiki page, then perhaps putting it into a user page would be a reasonable compromise?
XP boosting talents themselves cost a talent point, so they should be seen as an ''investment'' that should pay off later. However, one should ask themselves whether they will pay off at all?
 
Let's consider a [[Protect and Serve]] talent that gives an extra 15% experience upon completion of an escort mission (the exact mission type eligible for the boost does not matter). Taking this talent would increase the cost of ''all'' further talents by 500XP, so for the talent to be worth it, it needs to provide at least 500XP *per level*. If we assume - very optimistically - that we would only do Escort missions, and thus all the experience would enjoy a 15% boost, then we would need <code> experience for level up / 1.15 > experience for level up - 500</code>, or <code>experience for level up > 500 *1.15/0.15 = 3,884</code>. Looking up 3884XP in the table above we conclude that the talent ''starts'' being profitable at level 8.
 
Of course, this assumes that 100% of our experience was coming from escort missions. If we only half of our missions are esocrts, then the level of profitability roughly doubles and becomes 16. If we spread evenly across 3 mission types, the profitability threshold rises to level 24 (the maximum one), and even worse after that
 
The latter concern does not apply to xp boosts not dependent on mission type such as [[Nobody Important Dies]] or [[Bootcamp]], however with their bonus XP factor at only 7.5% they still pay off only after level 16.
 
However, in the above we neglected to account for the initial XP required get the original skill point. And the "talent starts becoming profitable" phrase only means that ''future'' levels would be positives on XP balance, but neglects to account for the "debt" accumulated to getting there.
 
A bit more careful math shows that 15% bonys talents "pay off" their investment only by level 15 in ideal circumstances, and 7.5% bonus ones - by level 28. Which implies that none of those are probably worth taking in practice. See the following table for illustration, and note that total xp + bonus needs to be higher than the *next* level without bonus to be "worth it":

The current game version is 1.4.6.0


Experience is gained by journeying through Europa, and can be used to pick Talents, powerful buffs that are unique to each Job.

Experience can be gained in three ways:

Experience per Talent Point

Required experience begins at 450 points for 1 talent, then increases by 500 experience for each point earned, as can be seen in the following table:

XP per level table
Talent
Points 		Required
Experience 		Total Required
Experience
1 450 450
2 950 1400
3 1450 2850
4 1950 4800
5 2450 7250
6 2950 10200
7 3450 13650
8 3950 17600
9 4450 22050
10 4950 27000
11 5450 32450
12 5950 38400
13 6450 44850
14 6950 51800
15 7450 59250
16 7950 67200
17 8450 75650
18 8950 84600
19 9450 94050
20 9950 104000
21 10450 114450
22 10950 125400
23 11450 136850
24 11950 148800

Missions

At the end of a level, all members of the crew will gain experience from any completed missions. Experience gain from completing missions depends on how much money the mission gives, and the difficulty of the level. Level missions - such as reactivating a beacon station or killing an abyss creature - give experience just the same as a mission from an outpost. Any bonus money earned from talents like Bounty Hunter does not count towards this base XP amount.

The formula for base experience gain is as follows: Experience = Money * 0.09 * (1 + (Level Diff. / 100))

Commendations & Medals

These are consumable items which give experience when used. Only the recipient of the medal receives the experience.

Commendations give 275 experience, while Medals give 550 experience.
These items are given to captains with the Commendations and Figurehead talents, or can be purchased from some outposts at level difficulties above 40 and 65 respectively.

Talents

Each Job has several Talents that can increase experience. Some talents give an instant experience boost, and others increase experience gained by a percentage amount.

Mission experience may be increased by the effects of talents. Talents like Camaraderie increase all mission experience, but talents like Logistics Expert only increase mission experience from their relevant missions.
