For some reason, out of everyone in my crew, it seems like the captain levels the absolute slowest. I've got all my officers (and even a few other regular crew) leveling past him.
Seems a bit odd.
And this has been happening on all my captains from what I've noticed

Thanks for the feedback. What kind of captain are you playing? Definitely possible, there is no rule in the game that says the Captain will have the highest level.
The Captain has the Star Traders license.

Was about to post this myself as my Spy Captain always seems to level the slowest regardless of talent selection and the activity in game. Frustrating when a Combat type on patrol status hired after starting has higher character level than the Captain despite fact there has been zero combat action of any type to that point.
If different Captain types generate XP at different rates and/or need to be engaged in certain activities to gain XP that needs to be documented during the template setup phase.
Your Merchant Captain will gain XP rapidly especially when engaged in trading.
Your Spy Captain will have a gain XP slowly and needs to be engaging in spying to get best XP.
As just a couple examples.

Thanks for the feedback! We'll keep trying to improve. Last Spy Captain on Challenging difficulty just died at level 3 after 733 turns and multiple jumps. He was heading to port to finally level up when he got jumped by a pair of overly agressive pirates...managed to win first battle when escape clearly wasn't an option, second battle was short as ship had been badly damaged in previous encounter. A navigator I'd promoted to officer and made a merchant/exo-scout at start was level 4. Majority of rest of crew was level 3 with only my most recent crew hires at level 2. Note template priority for XP is at D and my captain was showing 1/120 XP at turn 633. |

xdesperado - starting with low Level is definitely a very hard choice and will put you at a major deficit throughout the game. I think it may be one of the hardest things you can do in a template, and the kind of thing that community challenges will be born out of.
