Do I need faction blocks for turrets?

[solarapple]

I've noticed that when you dock anything without a faction block to a faction-blocked entity, it becomes faction property. Does that mean that I can build my AMS and defense turrets without faction blocks? Will they shoot at eachother without faction blocks? And will the AMS shoot down friendly missiles?

You can build your PD without faction modules. They will not shoot at each other, and shooting down friendly missiles depends on the servers configuration, but typically they will not shoot down friendly missiles.

I put faction blocks on them anyways out of habit since it forces people to waste more time trying to steal them. XD

The only advantage is if the turret docking part gets shot off, the turret wont lose it's faction setting if it has a module on it. Otherwise, no biggie.

No, faction modules are not required.
