Crew

The starting Cobra Mk.3 has a spare seat on the bridge and a berth for a second member of crew.

Adding crew is not possible in the Vanilla game, but has been made feasible by some rather elderly OXP's.

OXP's

These are purely ambient noises and do not affect gameplay

The crew members tell you that they have turned on the ECM, engaged the torus drive, that the laser has overheated etc. They don't offer any advice! The Pilot Alien does the same as the Pilot but with a different voice.
