You know what would be nice... You only get exp while hunting in the aetherspace if your sitting in a module, either a turret, the grid or the chair.

This way, stowaways can't grab xp, but people who are contributing to the battle do.

At the 50th circle, I can not hunt on any of the aether bubbles I have found, without facing a disgustingly pitiful death...have you all tried the bubbles?
How is the bubble exp return when based on Time spent there?

Just quoted so that I don't have to write that question....is it worth to get a little ship just to get to the bubbles?

I didn't realize it wasn't this way, but I think it should be.

I agree with only getting experience if you are locked into a module.

Also, as per the "New Astral" argument...If you had to pay 600k just for the right to go to Astral, and then another million+ to actually be able to hunt there, wouldn't you want it to be fairly useful to you, also?

I think the bubbles are fairly decent Ashteru, being as I can not even begin to survive there at 50, so they must b nice exp/time spent hunting for somepeople...

I thought that was how it worked already?

Does it? Narsrim said you can drag novices on your ship without them doing anything...

He meant you could drag novices along, have them learn a little aethercraft and lock em into a collector or other module. I'm pretty sure you have to be locked in in order to gain experience from hunting.

He means you can lock them into the cloaking module, say, and just let them ride along.

It's not really any worse than taking a novice along bashing gorgogs, or bubbleside.

What were you killing, dragons and tendrils?


No, just a lot of hydrians, gorgogs, pyrinnes, slanikks, cloeirs, and lixins. I was one of the ones on a turret and I think I'd gotten around 4% or so by the time we were through. At level ... what am I? Unearthly, whichever that is. 74, maybe?

Has anyone tested if different modules give different amounts of xp?
