@shit-piss-love Time-based XP is the default in FS3. I wasn’t quite sure what to think of it at first, because “there wasn’t any reward for activity” (even though you get Luck based on your activity), but I’ve totally gotten used to it. I like that as someone who doesn’t have a ton of time to play, I don’t get left behind.

The idea of catch-up XP is an interesting one, on TSS, I believe we actually tweaked the roster characters a couple of times to keep them more in line with how characters were being created, but considering that FS3 has a relatively-flat progression, we didn’t worry too much about catch-up XP.

On a system that has a sharper curve, I think that regular tweaking of roster characters would be a good idea. I know from my experience on Arx that it can be a very jarring experience to take up a roster character and have their sheet not come anywhere near their BG.
