I actually killed off Ashley. At the time, I thought her xenophobia wouldn't be good for humanity's image, although she does advise saving the Destiny Ascension later on, so on my second playthrough I killed off Kaidan. Although I consider my first save my main, I play my second exactly the same, just with Ashley alive and romanced instead of Liara, just so I can see how things play out.
