[quote=Gamespy]Ships can gain experience levels, and you earn points that you can use to improve certain aspects of the ship, such as its shields. Alternately, you can have the computer manage all of that and automatically upgrade ships for you[/quote]

There is always a danger where automation encroaches on "giving the player sumit to do". Added to player laziness to lean towards automising and removing a very clever part of the game.
