Hi Lucious!
Thanks for your feedback.
In the next days we will release other updates and gameplay videos, and we will cover more about agent skills, ship fitting and space fight among the other things. We will also publish a draft of the core rules and mechanics on the GOH site very soon.
Regarding the experience advancement: every Agent has a fixed amount of Character Points to allocate in various skills on the skill tree, and to raise a skill level he must spend (consume) the right amount of the right type of XP (between 4 different types). Many action (killing ships, mining asteroids, crafting, trading, etc) will give some XP of the relative type to the Agent or Agents performing the action. i.e.: if three Agents are on a ship that kills an enemy vessel, they all get some Warfare and Pilot XP, and if an Agent completes a crafting operation he will get some Crafting XP. The player, representing the Corporation CEO, will earn 10% of total Agent gain (for any type of XP) as Leadership Xp, that will determine the Corporation level and the number of Agents that can be hired (up to 20).
Note that Gates of Horizon is not completely finished, and we're still open to suggestions and feedbacks to further improve (or even completely change, if worth it) our game mechanics, and KS backers will have a privileged channel for this.
