* "The way it works in practice is that your family/clan/something owns the salvage, but you get credit for bringing it back. Internal to the clan, you're on a kind of reputation/gift economy. You only use money and trade outside the clan. The peasants, like the captain, would get outright cash consideration. The way this works varies by clan. It might be easiest to think of this like some of those highly extended old-school asian families, where some matriarch with a mind like an abacus is always totaling up who's in favor, who's out of favor, who needs help and who isn't pulling their own weight, et cetera. So you guys aren't going to end up with some giant buried pod you have to figure out what to do with, but you're going to get consideration somewhere down the road that you wouldn't get otherwise."
