I'm with you on the crewing juggle for PoD. My players are currently operating 3 ships. For context as a Ref I use NPC records for the hirelings. They can still be dragged and dropped to the PS's Ship tab and crew role assigned, along with skill rolls that I perform for the table. We started a public Note listing each ship and I drag and dropped the NPC record in line with which ship they belong to. Each NPC record has a name and its role in parenthesis.
