XP is the abbreviation for experience. The progression of a captain is measured in levels. With each level, a captain receives 3 stat points to allocate (unless they are a Commander in which case they receive 2). Ships, ship upgrades, weapons, and parts also require a certain minimum level to use.
The leveling system in Battle Stations is experience based. Gaining a level requires a set amount of experience. Each additional level requires more experience than the previous. See table below for exact amount of XP required for each level.
Experience can be accumulated in three different ways:
