Well, LRM's are a tech 2 unit, while Assailants are tech 1, so I do think that fact should counterbalance (perhaps not completely, but to some extent) the experience kickout of the assailant.  Certainly the huge difference between the two is too much.

Good catch Proletari.  As Darvin pointed out, the experience is probably based off of their tech levels, but this really isn't fair considering an Assailant is harder to kill than an LRM.  An Illuminator is definately more dangerous than a non-upgraded Assailant, but with phase missile upgrades, Assailants come into their own.  Assailant exp should probably be somewhere between that of an LRM and an Illuminator.  I never pay much attention to exp numbers...I wonder if some others are out of whack?
