Ahoy captain
Glad to hear from you. You have not mentioned any mods. There are many and you have an adventure ahead. Your issue of the wave riding is likely fixed by one or more mods.
As to naming your crew, I too love to put my friends and neighbors aboard and do my own kind of multiplayer. To do this, edit with notepad, the file:
crewmembernames.upc which is found in the folder UPCData, in the Data folder.
The names are a long list of first and last names, so you can't fix which ones will be used. They are randomly chosen for you. What you can do is add your names, replacing the ones in file. As they have done, repeat names that you like to improve chances of getting the favorites.
The names are only chosen on new missions or campaigns.
Happy Hunting
