Hey There, i was wondering how to make fast Space XP cuz its really annoying that u need a serveral milion xp and u get 1k per ship nearly.
Is there any other thing i could do instead of getting asskicked by some tier1 suckers and get some more xp...

Never cease's to amaze me how peeps will say to kill tier 5's for fast xp. This is how to do it, kill on the middle ground. Tier 1's give so little xp it's not worth it, tier 5's give great xp but take the longest to kill. Your answer? Kill tier 3's! Go to Dant and perform pirate patrols for the station master. Not only will you grind xp fast but you will make a lot of money in kill bounties and component loots.
Happy Flying

This is why Duty missions are always first on my list for "grinding" The xps come at whatever pace you set, you can take breaks between waves. The credits they pay you are pure bonus. Most missions are in low traffic sectors too. All these recommendations for Kashyyyk make me laugh, because last I knew, flying there was laggy at best. Also, mission spawns can't be camped by anyone, you don't get in squabbles over "sharing" and if someone does try to shoot your ships, you get to laugh at them.

Exactly. Some guy in anebayed JSF was trying to shoot my patrol targets for 5 minutes the other day. I had a good laugh about that

Likewise - I liked the loot, but it's cheapening the profession and needs to die.

T4 Black Sun Duty:
Average Kills Per Minute: 3.67
Average XP Per Kill: 3500
Average Credits Per Kill: 440.73
Average XP Per Minute: 12845
Average Credits Per Minute: 1615.45 (excludes wave bonuses, so add..1000?)
Blackscales near Avatar:
Average Kills Per Minute: 9.4
Average XP Per Kill: 2700
Average Credits Per Kill: 328.77
Average XP Per Minute: 25380
Average Credits Per Minute: 3090.44
Data from the Lootalyzer
I was guessing at the average xp per kill on the black sun spawn, since I'm not sure what exact numbers they drop.
So the question is, what's fast. I picked what I consider to be a typical duty mission and a typical natural spawn to compare. There are hidden delays in each - for the duty mission, you've got to slog it on the ground to your trainer to pick up the mission, for the natural spawns you have to contend with the possibility of kill stealing.

Okay... We know where to grind at now but...
What ship should I be using?
I'm 3333 and there is no one playing to go into space with to get quick XP so I gotta go it alone. What ship should I get? I been using a player crafted dunelizard up to 3333. Thought about upgrading but didn't because I was getting conflicting advice from others so opted out.
And I hear there was a ship added with RotW that is good.. What should I use?

Aibo, once you get a certain amount of basic mechanical competency, getting the most efficient use of any given spawn is largely a function of your damage output. More guns will translate directly into faster grinds.
You're a rebel, that's lucky. At 3/3/3/3 you get access to the 3-gun X-wing, a very high-efficiency PvE ship. Washell's Thunderbolt VII is a good example of how to load one out.
At 4/3/3/3 you get access to the Advanced X-Wing. With three guns and 180k mass, it's the Rolls Royce of PvE. here's an example.
