Send em! A medal for all the survivors of this expedition, assuming they come across something useful!
This is actually quite a good idea... locate an Officer in-game who has high Xeno but is NOT a research scientist (so losing him will not cripple our research projects), and pick HIM as your player character, specifically to lead the away team.
For example, we won't have much use for Ground Forces for decades to come. Those officers are just sitting in the tavern, day after day. I haven't even bothered to assign them to my Ground Units (quite seriously... I've just totally ignored them). One of the lower-ranked ones (a Brigadier) has a Xeno score of +25. You could pick HIM to become Julius Strange.
I will be more than willing to join this expedition, provided I get my medals for the first extrastellar exploration made by humanity!
Yeah, odds are they'll find blueprints for an improved hot dog machine.Send em! A medal for all the survivors of this expedition, assuming they come across something useful!
BTW, this game looks quite interesting, and bordering crazy with all the parameters. I'm not sure I'll ever try it, but I'm definitely following this AAR
Oh oh oh oh! Can I be a (light) carrier commander, maybe? or any missile cruiser mayhaps? It'd be glorious! If there are no immideate ships available of that sort, put me in command of any vessel you have available please
As my attempts to find jump points seem to be failing, I would love to join a team and scout some ruins with my +15% bonus
Send me! *takes a swig of tequila*
On second thought, can I take this morale improver with me? The whole bottle?

So essentially our land commanders are the very models of modern major-generals?
Julius Strange has joined the game... he has requested a transfer from the Army reserve pool to field duty... and do we have a job for him!
He is Ground Combat +15%, Xeno +25%, and his character traits include "Problem Solver" and "Risk Taker". Apropos, no?
I've just caught up again. And I guess I'd like to request a position in the navy -- but not a fighter pilot.
Every person who joins the expedition will earn a cookie as soon as I got a planet to produce cookies! Or even cakes?
Captain Helius Finch signing up for duty to the Terran Marines. Sign me up to any possible ground-level military group/unit/platoon/command.
Send in the scientists, they can serve as bait.
Hey i like taverns and sitting!

How about an unassigned Naval officer with a +30% Xeno bonus and orders to report to the away team? We have one available...
As long as you promise to make a Trajan II if I get killed on the away mission
Sure.. no problem. Your personality traits are "Imaginative, Astronomy Geek".
We now have:
Trajan +30
Julius Strange +25
Bo Mosberg +20 (if he wants to go)
Avernite +15
... one more dude with better than +10 and we are actually OVER +100%.
EDIT: we still have another unclaimed non-player-character with a +25% bonus. Failing that, I think it would be time to give Coinneach his medal and add him to the team.
I'd be happy to go in in scientific role.
You really manage to make the game look interesting.

Aha! Seli has joined the away team. Xeno bonus of +25%, and a Survey bonus as well.
Now the question is... does Bo Mosberg want us to wait for him to finish his research so that he can come along, or should we use Coinneach the Explorer instead?
Either way, we have at least +105%

It looks like you'll be taking over Avernite's Scout-Ship.
