The quality of the ships does not matter, only the rank of the enemy pilot in relation to your rank. In other words, killing an Anaconda gives the same XP as killing a Sidewinder of the same rank. You get 1 XP for an enemy of the same rank as you and +/- .25 XP for enemies of higher or lower rank. If the enemy is more than 4 ranks below yours, you get nothing, so killing a "Compenent" or below rank pilot when you are Deadly gives you 0 XP. Each percentage gained toward your next rank requires approximately 20 XP as far as I can tell.
