Is there a hidden SOS Beacon function while still on the ship? (lemm.ee)

Much of the time if I hit the quickplay option, it dumps me into a ship, pretty much at the same exact time as 2 or 3 other players. I don't have great sampling here, but it seems like the players are lvl 70+ who know how to do this. Is there some SOS Beacon or equivalent that I'm missing?

It's hard to tell, because the game doesn't really give the player visibility to a list of available lobbies, so you kinda just gotta trust that the matchmaking system is doing what it's supposed to be doing.

In theory, you should only be sent to a player's ship if there are no active SOS beacons or otherwise in-progress missions on your selected planet/difficulty combo, because that should be considered the lowest priority for matchmaking.
