First off, Kolyat is not going to replace Thane because
1) His father wanted another life for him. Great way to repay Thane's help, doing to his son what he didn't want!
2) He's an inept kid with no kind of training at all! Thane trained from the age of 6, I think he tells you. Not something you can do a quick-study on in a year or two!
3) It's been discussed to death elsewhere on this forum that the kid is no way any kind of replacemwnt for his father. He's useless. Sure, by luck he got a gun on some dirty politician, but you distracted him easily when the chips were down and disarmed him. Not the caliber of player you need for your team, is it, untrained amateurs?
Tali on the admiralty board? How on earth is that justified? What has she done to earn that? What she has done with Shepard is looked at askance for starters. Again been discussd a lot but I haven't read one good reason for her to get promoted to such an exalted position at her young age.
She's a grunt, a researcher, not a leader of people and tactician like the other Admirals we meet. (I don't remember if her late father was an Admiral, but as he was a researcher, I would doubt it) Not dissing Tali here, she has skills Shepard needs, never mind her fleet, and I like her.
Next, I don't for a second believe we'll get 13 folk handed on a plate at the beginning of the game. As far as I know, we are STILL stranded on the wrong side of the Relay after the Suicide Mission. I remember nothing about coming back through a relay!
That aside, we'll probably be in a situation where we need an ID change, thus giving us access to Character creation. Easiest way to do this is the way it was done in ME1 - your data has been lost so recreate it. However it is unlikely BW will use that. Likely they have some starter-shocker to begin the game.
Whatever, we will have 2 team matesat the start, and may have to go round up our people again if there has been a reasonable time gap between the end of ME2 and 3. A couple may have stayed with us on the Normandy rather than go back to their old lives to tidy up stuff - Garrus and his mother for instance comes to mind.
Missing is likely to be the DLC people as they are not part of the original game - meaning Kasumi (and I like her a lot and would like her to stay) and Zaeed. Also missing is likely to be Thane, who has died, unless they find a magical cure for him, and Samara as she has finished the job she agreed to do for you. Also possibly Mordin is dead as he was old for his species already in ME2. That leaves only Jack, Grunt, Jacob, Miranda, Garrus, Tali, Legion.
The other way to inject a large number of our team back into the game for noobs, is like it was done in ME1. They are on the ship, and we get them assigned to us and we talk to them as we do a job and thus get to know them. I think it will likely be a mix of both, some of the team still there, others we need to go pick up after they went to sort something out at home, like Garrus and his dying mother, as I said.
