I know a lot of folks are upset about the drastic changes, but it seems like they matched the original experience points formula to the current one.

Before, your SP gains could fluctuate as much as 150% from one synth to the next...now they seem to be relatively consistent, as was the way with most experience points gains.

For ex: I've been getting between 408-417XP per synth, vs. before it would have been something like 323-525.

Yay for consistency.
