So, I retired my first character last night, and it didn't go quite as I expected. I had a Scion (which is why I chose to retire) so I was able to pick two legacies. My first character was ex-military, meaning that he started with 50 iron, plus I'd added a few points from secrets along the way as well. I jumped at the chance to pass both my nice deck gun as well as half of my iron rating to my child. I expected to have 52 iron to start out with (the 25 the poet has by default, plus half of my old characters rating) but somehow ended up with 36. I'm not exactly sure where that number came from, so I was wondering if I misunderstood something, or if it's just poorly explained or wrong on the Legacy screen.
My second legacy was to pass on 50% of my hearts, but I ended up with just a tiny bonus of a point or two, despite also putting a bunch of secrets into that stat as well.

When you pass on a stat, the value isn't added to 25 for the next captain. Rather, 50% of the previous captain's stat becomes the new captain's starting value for that stat. Dying with 50 Hearts, for instance, wouldn't effect any change in the next captain's Hearts. This is presumably to prevent easily transferring stats by selecting a background for the +25 bonus and directly passing it on.

There is currently no way to pass on your ship. Your next captain does not need to have a child again, AFAIK; presumably the dynasty has other branches of the family to draw on.
