BFG2 ship experience

[xeroshiva1029]

So playing non campaign (battle) in BFG1 offered to make a new admirla of 1 of the (i think) 6 factions. the admiral had an exp bar, the ships had an exp bar.. but that doesnt seem the case now, now its more of a "faction" exp bar... does anyone know if there are upgrades to ship crew, and ship upgrade mods in BFG2 ? really want to run a private fleet again outside the campaign.

that only exists in campaign unfortunately, and is vastly simplified to 4 levels of experience that provide uniform buffs, along with admiral skills which upgrade the flagship and sometimes others, and techs that upgrade all ships of a certain type (like all with torpedoes or all escorts, or all battleships)

In multiplayer it is to keep balence, stopping more experienced fleets having an inate advantage over less experienced one.

you have more ships and more fleets - upto around 10 and so they had to change the mechanics slighlty. Ships when destroyed are also lost forever unlike BFG1 so it makes sense to make progression model a little simpler.

maybe idk the feature i was referencing from BFG1 wishing BFG2 had was only in a "fleet skirmish" menu kinda. really miss that. over the "level 4 battleship" having mods that im not really into for my play style.
