When you have cannon fodder surrounding you in a blanket of fuzzy character protection it sort of softens the rp. I much prefer it where there are 12 people total on the spaceship, each of them has a specific job, and each of them fills a role, instead of having a 100 man crew with the main characters simply lording over their redshirt minions. Its just a different style then I prefer, and it evokes a different story mood. I definitely enjoy the just you and  few friends feel of a small crew to the large crew thing. I guess thats as close as I can get to properly explaining it.
