I've come so close to "plonking" Terminatrixxx in the past, simply because of the history of sneering and ad hominems, but posts like this make me glad I managed enough restraint not to. This has definitely exposed a hole in the multicrew mechanics. I suggest a bug report is in order, and that the simplest solution would be to restrict joining a multicrew session to when your own ship is docked and in the hangar. For those pilots out on a long exploration mission who wish to join a multicrew session this could be a problem, of course, so give them an exception. Make it work this way - To join a multicrew session, one of the following must be true. You must either be docked and in the hangar or landed on a planetary body and in your ship not your SRV, with no other cmdrs or NPCs in your instance.
