Is there a way to set the crew (not officer) size of the away team?
Is there a way to select away team equipment when you have other options in cargo?
BTW, some of Dr. Who's companions also died.
Alien had officer loss.
If there were an option to have permadeath chance for officers, I'd use it. It'd also make sense if some attacks lead to crew death (reduce away team size) rather than just healable hitpoint loss.
