In Mass Effect 1, your party members have new stuff to say every now and then when we are on the Normandy. Is it updated on a regular basis or only when you do story based missions and progress further into the game?
I haven't seen a real pattern so far.

Other than those missions, you can feel free to skip talking to your crew except when you finish story missions.
