I'm trying to get 6 different crew members on the ship but my crew is full; should I kill a current crew member to ensure space to take on new crew, or will I be given the option to swap if a new potential crew member offers their services?

Yes, you will be able to gain new crew members. When you get a crew from an event, e.g., an interface will appear at the end of the event showing you every new crew member + the new guy (who will helpfully be flagged as "new"). You then have to chose to dismiss a member since you are over the limit. If you see crew for sale in a store, you can go into your ship screen and dismiss a member there so that you can buy a new one.

Also useful to note, you can also dismiss the new guy; you are not required to dismiss one of the hardworking crew members for the new boring skill-less human. :) – Kevin van der Velden Oct 15 '12 at 14:11
@ Kevin van der Velden Indeed! – peacedog Oct 15 '12 at 14:58
Also worth noting that several of the encounter options will change to specifically note that you're full and will have to dismiss someone. (I've seen it on the slavers and the long survivor encounters). – Allen Gould Oct 26 '12 at 16:03

When you have a full complement, and a new crew tries to join, you will be taken to the crew selection menu where you have the option to fire a crew. You can choose to fire the new crew or an existing member.
