In that game the commander had control of the Orbital strikes, UAV drops, and supply drops, and map scan sweeps all on a reasonably long CD.
Not only that but playing with your squad also gives your bonuses on top of getting bonus XP. You would get access to new gear you have not unlocked yet. So say if your lance works together perhaps allow mechs to gain the ability to pop their own personal UAV multiple times instead of using your own C-bills after every game. Just an example. Sure there will be some minor tweaking but I believe this is a solid way to help out this issue.
