Howdy folks, I'm sure many of you know this but it has confused me for some time and I have finally figured out what was going on and its very simple. I did a quick google search and no one really fully explained it. This is not for you people that know how it works, its for those wondering what it is and the details In short, it gives you double EXP, but those extra points come from a pool. (none of these figures are accurate, they are for demonstration only) You spend an hour logged out in a cantina and come back to see you have 100 rested EXP. You go out and kill an enemy that gives you 20 EXP and you notice your rested EXP has decreased to 90. You got double EXP from the enemy, 10 came from the enemy and 10 came from your rested EXP pool. Congrats, you now know everything there is to know of the Rested EXP bonus. *NOTE* You only get double EXP on enemies you kill. Not quests or bonus rewards, ect. Pretty sure it doesn't apply to space missions either but I may be incorrect
