If you guys do decide on something like having crew members or support roles, I'll gladly take up one of those positions instead of trying to take up a squadmate position. I always did like how some of your team never came with you on missions, but you could still form a bond with them, you know? Sure, it would mean those who did become crew members probably wouldn't get as much of the spotlight when missions occurred, but there could be interesting twists of their own at the base. And if there aren't, at least they'd be good support from the sides.
