[Exploit/Bug] Weapons and Shields XP

I'm guessing these are just an unintended due to how xp gain is triggered;
1) Gain weapon xp each time a weapon is fired, but if you fire more than 1 weapon simultaneously you still gain only 1xp. The best example is the federation cruiser, 4 basic lasers. If you set them all to fire at once you will gain 1 xp, but if you stagger them even a little you will gain 4xp.
2) Gain shield xp when shields go *up* in combat I.e. your shields get hit and restore after short period. It seems to trigger on the restoration so if you intentionally lower your shields by a bar and raise it again you get xp for that.
I'm sure these are easily fixed if need be, just requiring a separation on xp gain per weapon and maybe xp gain when shields are hit.
