Consensus has been that once this mission finishes I can, aye. 

Alternative idea was running into one of the current crew members when the ship stops off somewhere. Though that'd probably work quite well too.

Depends on the crew's attitude really. It's also easier having prior connections because your PC has chances of memories, stories and easier time fitting in because someone can vouch for your PC ability. I often find this easier storywise.
