Hi! As for the mini games, for those who don't like them, we have added in the options the possibility to hide them (auto playthrough) and enjoy only the straight story.
About new team members - we don't really agree. They didn't become part of the crew, they are just on the ship. We added them because it was necessary to create just what you are talking about - to create an inconvenience, so that the team doesn't understand why this is all, so that Fabian would be uncomfortable. And just when you have to deal with them, Fabian has other things to deal with.
The choice thing, I assume you're referring to the Dolores moment. In fact, the choice is necessary here not to change the plot and Dolores, for example, died. Here your decision affects whether you get the right points for Dolores to react accordingly later. If you don't save her, you won't be able to continue with her.
About mini games like raids or boarding - interesting. We'll think about that if we have enough resources near the end of the game. Thanks for playing!
