Do Starship crews get experienced? Which increases their abilities in combat?

No.

Time for it to go on the wishlist... I would also like to know how many people are on board of my ships...

Please do add it to the wishlist.

I saw a star appear over one of my ships after battle and assumed that was xp. Must have been something else?

Good suggestion. I like it!

This would make retrofitting more attractive. Right now I'm having the tendency of seeing oobsolete ships as basically disposable and just scrapping them on site, not even on a space port. (Don't really want them taking up space on port assembly lines.)
 
Of course, retrofitting itself is mechanically awkward but I assume a fix is in the works for that.

I think there are too many ships in the game to make it worth it,and they get destroyed pretty easy.I would prefer to have fleet admirals that level up.

I prefer having experience crew and admirals whose leveled.
Ships are disposable yes but still if they gain exp this will be another factor to trying keep them aliave.
And bonus for RolePlaying.

Perhaps a thing only worth to consider for cruisers and capital ships?

I would agree with seeing experience added.  Be it for individual ships, or admirals that give bonuses to fleets over all. Perhaps with Captains that give bonuses to smaller groups of ships on the lower levels.

But please not too much micromanagent. Perhaps we could have something similar to the intelligence screen?

Maybe have this experience on an empire level, that signifies the overall efficiency of your military academies and training and experience etc.

To have more unique stats for each ship, blimey!

Makes me wish this was a 64-bit game btw. X_X

Good suggestion Ranbir. It would be nice if empires that fight a lot of wars get better at it than those that dont.
