Currently the 'Operations' menu on a trident has only one option available, which is to control the ship. Either just lose the menu and just make the button 'Control Ship' or add some other functions such as the ability to move cargo between the active ship and the trident or change the active ships port items according to what equipment is available in the trident or ships cargo.

Yes that will be an improve ment

A shortcut key for "Control Ship" would be nice...

I don't mind the operations menu being there, since it'll supposedly have more functions later, but there's definitely no sense in showing it for players who don't have anything at all to click on (docked non-owners).

There should be two options...

Automatically switch to piloting the trident once you dock

And remaining as a docked ship in the trident

This menu would be a good place to put those options

If the owner allows, people docked on the trident should be able to access the storage, modify their ships and unload/load/use items on the storage.
