I need info on "Ships gaining experience."

Can someone tell me how it works when a ship survives battles and gains experience points and levels. I need something to relate it too ie. If a ship gets to a "Master" level, what is that worth in terms of battling -- does it give it the equivelant of more hit points, or stronger hulls, or what exactly does it do??? Any help would be appreciated.

As experience levels increase, it receives bonuses to Attack and Defence (which are included in the values displayed.) For the early ships, this is about +1 Att/Def every two levels - more powerful ships get a better bonus.

The exact implementation is not known, but there are reports of experementation going around. Currently, it is known that the amount of experience required to gain a level is directly related to the amount of hitpoints a ship has.

Sounds like it's a straightforwared percentage. Like maybe 10% per experience level? That's how most of the techs are set up so this would be both simple and logical. That bunch at stardock usually go for the logical. But I'm just guessing.
