I've been looking for a way to easily manage the skills and/or inventory of my reserve NPCs (the NPCs I've recruited who are not part of the current shore party). So far, the only way to manage their inventory that I've seen is to access their lockers on the Normandy. I haven't found any way to manage the NPCs' skills unless they're with me in a shore party.
Have I missed something, or is this a feature that's just not in the game?
NOTE: I'm on the PS3, so any mods available for PC would be of no use.

In Mass Effect, it is only possible to level up squadmates who are actually in your party.
While you can set party members to level-up their skills automatically, if you want to customize your teammates yourself, you'll have to actually take them with you as a shore party, somewhere.
