I know that we'll one day (hopefully soon) get to set a ship uniform for all our NPC officers. But I also would like to see us get the ability to set race and numbers for our NPC crew.
With the addition of Vulcan, Orion, etc, ships I imagine several people will want to have all Orion/Vulcan/etc crews and said ships. I also have felt there are too many non-humans on my Starfleet ship and would like to tweak the ratios and be able to say, "Let's have 70% human, 20% Vulcan, 10% the rest, please."
I also would like to adjust the number of NPC crew members walking on my ship. Maybe I want my Galaxy Class to be swarming, or my Miranda to be all but empty. Let me choose how many are walking around the halls.
Would also like to influence division colors. More blues on a science ship, more reds on a tactical, etc.
Finally, hope that we can soon choose where our BOs stand on the ship, and what their actions are. Would be nice to ensure my helm officer was at the helm, etc.

Good idea. I'm tired of seeing the same little redshirted tellarite guy EVERYWHERE.
Is it just me, or does this happen to everyone....every time I pick a tac officer for my initial BO on a new character I get an andorian female.
Great idea! I do worry, however, that if you say you want a 100% human or vulcan crew, then they will all look identical because there's only like two faces and the same selection of hairdos.

Ship full of twins.
Good point, but I'd still like to increase/decrease how many randoms are walking around my ship.

Which is why, hopefully, they will add more face options as they add more races (and factions) later on. We're already getting new hair stuff, so hopefully later on we get this .
i would say then that this is the best time to start pressing for ideas and thoughts like this, with my understanding that season 4 is supposed to actually introduce 'crew' as a more vital part of your starship. Once of the things that I would very much like to see is a greater variety of the randomly generated personnel for ship or shore operations. Having been playing around with the foundry these past several weeks, I have started playing with adding console operators to my maps and the distinct lack of customizaion for that is annoying in the least. I end up with like 3 or 4 clones all tapping along in synchronicity. That would be fine if maybe we could actually have Bianars on our crews....(though for later, make a request for Binars to be added as a Feddy race). Otherwise if there was a way to set up a certain amount of randomness so that each of them are not performing the same task at the same moment, but this is skirting more into a post I ought to have over on the foundry boards. Regardless more options to customize the look of your generic crew would be a great thing. I know(also from my foundry time) that beaming down with default security personnel that I seem to end up with 3 clones following me around.
If they were to just randomize the race/gender of the mission reward Boffs I would be happy. Like shizaru said, I get an Andorian female Tac officer in the Khitomer every time. So I guess the suggestion I would like to add is a "Randomize race/gender" button for mission reward Boffs.

Or allow us to pick from a few random options instead of just one.
