Meeting up with my buddy in open play... Oh wait... where u at dude?

I tried to meet up with my buddy today so we could go pirate hunting together. We both headed to a particular system and whilst in super cruise began looking for each other. Cycling ships I found only NPCs. Well... ok we only have a chance of meeting each other in match making but no ammount of logging-relogging would match make us together. Shame.

I don't want to go into Private group as we like to see other commanders (the 1 I see per few hours that is) but I would like to be put in the same instance as my buddy in open play.

Nopw I don't know how the match making is working, but... I play more than my friend to I am currently rank Novice in combat and he is probably Harmless still. So I guess that it won't allow us in teh same instance because of that difference. But why? we're friends and probably the only people in that sector (it's in the middle of nowhere).

Can we have the ability to create groups who can roam open play where they go into the tier of the highest in the group (if that is indeed how it works). We had to eventually end up individually hunting pirates in the same sector and just sharing our experiences over skype. It was still fun but not nearly as fun as pirate hunting together.
 
I should be trying this tonight for the first time actually. My only thought is make sure you've added each other as friends?
 
Yeah we are added and accepted. I think it's down to the match making. We'll have to be doomed to play in private groups from now on but how will we meet more like minded bounty hunters to join our group? Seems a shame we weren't able to find each other in open play.

We did manage to meet up the other day. But we were total noobs and it took us an hour to figure out how to leave supercruise together when hunting pirates so we didn't actually get to kill anyone.

It might be worth noting that he was on a mision at the time and I was going to help him do it (kill an anaconda for 100k Cr) would that prevent us getting into the same instance?
