Re-read James Lyrus's post.
The idea that a ships's crew could increase in exp is very cool. It is not WoW style exp grinding, as long as you eliminate gain of exp from PvE. I think EvE is able to detect the difference between the two, or you could simply just not gain "crew" exp while in deadspace. The crew could only gain exp while agressing another players ship. Very simple really.
What would that do? 1) It would favor the careful (read poor) PvPer and disfavor the ATM ISK "who cares" suicide PvPers. 2) It would make a lot of sense from a role playing "immersion" stand point. 3) It would make losing a ship hurt more for the right reasons.
Bottom line, when the ships explode so do the crews, and it would be cool to honor that somehow.
I do agree it would favor the more survivable ships, tho.

On further thought, I agree it would favor the ganker-style players over the carebear style players.
But EvE has always been more about PvP, or at least should be.
This is coming from someone who is more of a carebear. PvPing gets expensive and maybe there should be more reward for excellance in that area. Saying you "farm" t2 modules from other players is not the most profitable approach to your time playing EvE as the carebears are the richest players in the game,IMHO. I'm not rich because I just don't play enough, if you want to call carebearing "playing".

That game that is a curse word in EvEian is unfortunately an icon, a benchmark.
EvE players want EvE to stay the opposite of that other game. Even if it means throwing out the baby with the bath water.
It's like proposing changing the rules of Futbol, or Football, or Tennis or <insert favorate real life sport here>.
But there was a time there was not a 3 point shot an basketball. Probabally ****ed off the guys who could only shoot lay ups I'll bet when the rules changed.
