NPC should ask to join crew when nowhere else to go

Hi all,

really enjoying this game so far! While paying through I encountered an interesting situation:

A civilian and a pirate ship arrived at the same time at my location.
1) The pirate ship destroyed the civilian ship and captured a civilian as prisoner
2) I went over to the pirate ship, and released the prisoner, but instead of joining up with me, the civ went back to its desroyed ship and died.

It would be nice if these npc characters would notice, that they have nowhere to go, and at least ask for a ride to the next station, or just join up if they are happy with my characters.

Have fun all!
