The only way that kind of game would work imo, would be if it was along the lines of "mass effect" and you the main character have a team for "offline" play. When you play "online" you chose your role in the match from predefined types with specific skills.
It could work, other titles have taken similar routes with role enforcement in a MP setting, America's Army did so with one player designated the "target", and his backup mercenaries vs the US Army players and local armed forces. You picked a role if it was available, or you got given the one if others were taken. It worked quiet well.
How all that would translate in to a ship based game though is anyone's guess.
