Part of the ship part of the crew (Ships and crew management and suggestions)

yes please! specially the last part.

please add an avenue for us to bring friendly crews of derelict ships aboard our ship.
something similar to prisoner status for enemy factions. maybe refugee or asylum/guest status that could be gained from dialog like prisoner status is. could even add a tile designation similar to prison, but call it guests, so they could have an area of the ship they are allowed to wonder. or let them wonder freely since they aren't prisoners.
let us try to recruit them same as prisoners and if a ship of the same faction comes in the same sector they could send a shuttle to get them if they don't want to join our crew.

would love to also see a distress beacon they could use. that way if a battle takes place in a different sector in the same system and we dont know about it, the lossing/defeated ship could send a distress signal and give us a chance to help or save them off their derelict ship. we could use a distress beacon too, in case we get stranded. in the distress call maybe you could designate what you need. water, fuel, aid in battle.
