Experience
From Starport: Galactic Empires
Experience is the most important statistic associated with your character. It determines your title and rank in the Galactic Rankings. Corporate experience, which is the sum of the experience levels of each member of the corporation, determines the winners of the game (for rebang games with a fixed time limit).
Experience is a factor in how many colonists you can recruit from a starport, and how big of a robbery you can pull off if you are a character of negative reputation. You will be able to recruit more colonists with greater experience; you will be more successful at a robbery with greater experience.
Most anything you accomplish will increase your character's experience to some degree. Combat affects it most drastically. You can lose experience by getting blown up or getting caught robbing.
Experience is, in general, a rating of how successful your character has been. With enough experience points, and winning rebang games, you will earn game-wide Achievement Points.
