I dunno if this has been mentioned before - I did a very very quick skim through the forum to check and didn't see anything specific, but I'm 93.7% likely to be wrong.
What I would really love is the ability to take the squad that I have nurtured and grown to love on campaigns and skirmishes alike. It's that continuity thing just like developing a character in ST or CK. I want to be able to keep the Captain (and squad) that I nurtured through one campaign into the next one ... or take the team to a Skirmish. This would be especially important for me once the individual characters are customizable (names / icons / classes) in some future update.
Why ... being able to relate to the team that you are controlling means that you feel more invested in the way that team performs and succeeds. If you have to play a generic squad for each individual campaign, you feel less connected to the team and it becomes more of a throw-away type of feel. "Oh well, the team got obliterated. I'll just start up another generic squad" kinda thing.
Sure, having more established characters (skills / weapons) means that some game balancing issues may need to be considered in campaign development, but I think the attachment value of a specific team could be more important for long-term enjoyment.
