There are no non mission aggro's on the route to the kashyyyk station. However I do know some people are not pilots don't want to be. I have never had a passenger get credit for ordering a docking procedure during a mission, ever. I /bug it every time we try though. Passengers can order to dock but they just don't get the credit. Until this is fixed I feel your freinds pain. MY wife is like this. Aside from doing the mission for her she will never get into the hunting grounds. However once this is fixed we can do it in my YT.
Krayt is freelance pilot only, and you do not keep the cert after you drop freelance pilot.

This may or may not work for you depending on the mission, and there are a few hitches:
1. If you take someone up with you in a turret, the mission will trigger, but the pilot won't get the waypoint.
Only thing you can really do here is have the person in the turret with the mission fire the gun in the direction you need to travel.
2. Waypoint may not trigger when you get there. If the mission holder is not in his or her own ship, the mission may not trigger right when you arrive at the waypoint. In fact, I can't ever remember this working.
Yes, the mission experience is divided up between all players on board. If you cram five people onto a YT-1300, they are each going to get a fifth of the experience value for a kill. However, if you're taking up one of your newbie friends in something like a Krayt, Aggressor, Y-Wing or ARC-170 you are certainly going to be generating experience for them hugely faster than they can do it themselves, particularly in a place like Kessel or Deep Space.

The missions WILL trigger for EVERYONE on board as long as you DO NOT have to dock to further the mission everything is peachy keen. I remember I took 5 guys in my Decimator to do thier hunter grounds quest all with the expectation that it may not work because you have to dock. We jumped into corellia and boom we were besett upon by 30 attackers. THAT was some fun. About the only time the rebel shield command would have been useful. needless to say with that much fire coming at us were were not very sucessful we didn't get destroyed because I ran like my nuts were on fire. Missions spawn for passengers and you can complete them you just can't dock to further the mission along.
