Suggestion Player Ship Joining Notification, with option for Crew Invite

I created these attempting to use the same boundaries that existing notifications do.

Essentially, these would pop up at the same time that on-ship count--on the main ship info GUI--changes. When the number increases, this would pop up, so it'd simply be a matter of firing it as a notification at the same time the game fires an update to the number increase.

This would allow ship captains to be immediately alerted to those needing a crew, and even with options for inviting them in the notification itself. Alternatively, the top version, you just have the notification informing you without the invite.

When the button is clicked, ideally what would occur is the same game firing that occurs when you click the crew button on a player's profile--you simply need to identify the player joining the ship at the same time the ship count updates, from which you just need to re-route the button usage to essentially clicking the crew button.

An alternative, lazier option, would simply be just opening the player profile when you click the button. You'd just need to navigate over to the same crew button the profile if you wanted to invite them.

There could potentially be an option in the options menu for disabling these types of notifications (and potentially disabling teleport notifications?), but the team could again just take the lazier route and leave it up to how players dictate who can join their ship--the notifications they get would be up to who they let on the ship.

Thanks to Peregrine Seaspark for the idea, and Kate Bladefury for helping me with generating the notifications.
