I'm in a thinking mood and i had an idea, that in addition to opening your ship so you can mentor other players, you also have an option to join a player looking for a mentor.
This might be a better way for players to learn and get help with whatever aspect of the game they are currently in. Right now when you look for a mentor, you get put in the passenger seat, tagging along with whatever the mentor is doing.
Signing up could be very generic or it could have sub categories as well:
Join another ship -> Mentor -> Trading, Bounty Hunting, Mining, Smuggling, etc.
Look for a mentor -> Trading, Bounty Hunting, Mining, smuggling, etc.
The drawback with this would be the lack of ships supporting multi crew in the early game. And trolling though, but i would hope people mentoring has the best interest of the other mentee in mind.
