I'm a 1/1/1/1 freelancer - when grouped with a 1/1/0/0 imperial I noticed he was consistantly getting 2x the XP I was for the same exact target. In general, he gets, 400, 1250, 2500 xp for Tier 1, 2, and 3 ships whereas I get 100, 400, 1250 for the same ships. I've searched the FAQ and posts in this forum, but I can't find any mention of variable XP based on faction or level differential between the player and the target. Is XP variable, or is this a bug?

Thanks

How much XP do you get for the various tiers on average?
