Ship XP/PP and Hero Dice

The ship earns XP at a rate of one (1) per episode.

PP spent on any ship-based roll must come from the characters, with the primary difference being that any player may lend PP to the effort, not just the main roller. This does not extend to Hero Dice or other player resources.

If PP or Hero Dice are earned on a ship based roll, these go to the rolling character.
