Ok, so I'm just going to copy some math over from some calculations I was doing on Discord. I would be curious to see other's numbers too. It would be interesting to do a little "science" and get some baselines on time/xp gain and Captain Class. If you want to geek out with me post your own numbers below.
I was just looking at my existing captains and comparing some of their data. I was surprised to find out that my Merchant Captain seems to have leveled the fastest. I thought they were somewhat of a slow burn compared to Captains that engage more frequently in combat especially personally in crew combat. Here some of the stats. All of them are on Impossible difficulty:
Capt. Sweeney DV Merch, Level 23, Date: 243.29
Capt. Ravo AM Pirate, Level 27, Date 279.48
Capt. Agate SS Zealot, Level 24, Date 256.23 (She did a lot of Crew Combat)
Capt. Thomas Javat Explorer, Level 21, Date 250.28(edited)
That means that on average they gained 1 level every X weeks:
Sweeney 75.7
Ravo 134.6
Agate 99.6
Thomas 100.2
Those calculations could be a bit more precise if the actual xp was factored in not just the levels. The Merchant was pretty well ahead of the curve (set by the others) The one thing he did was all of the Val missions (except take her on board) and then worked for Estelle.
The Pirate, Ravo, did start with Experience C instead of E like all the others. So that would account for some of her apparent slowness. I suppose slower leveling at higher levels would also push her per week number up since she is the furthest long. She definitely did a lot more ship combat than any of the others. I wonder if all that time spent in repair is part of what slows her down too. It's easy to kill a lot of time healing/repairing.
